I’m using 10.2 but I believe the problem is that the 4k files are sony raw.

After I read your post I did a little digging and you’re right. It’s Sony RAW. I’m running the raw footage through Media Encoder and spitting out ProRes 422 Proxy but I still run into the audio channels preventing me for just doing a simple relink.

I found a work around and import the footage and then just replace the 1080 with the 4k for my synchronized clips.

It’s not the easiest solution but so far it’s working. Thanks for the help Jeremy and Darren!

I tried to import the media that way but FCP X couldn’t import the 4K media let alone recognize it. Check my reply to Jeremy and you’ll see where I’m currently at.

For whatever reason FCP X cannot read the 4K files. It would only let me import the 1080 camera proxies. The editor has the same experience I guess which is why he recommended EditReady. I’m just the AE so no editing yet for the film. Just syncing, grouping and organizing.

I found a temporary solution. Take the original 4k media and transcode it to Prores proxy, which is what the editor wants. I then bring that file into FCP X, bring it into my synchronized clip and manually replace the 1080p file with the 4k file. Not as easy as I would hope but better than nothing.

I tried relinking via Resolve by putting a synchronized clip on the timeline(?). It pointed to the correct file so I exported a Resolve xml, brought that into FCPX and it didn’t seem to work. The synchronized clip from the xml pointed back to the 1080 proxy. Am I doing something wrong? I’m not all that familiar with Resolve as well.

That worked! Great solution! Thank you!

I’m also having the same problem. Hopefully there is a solution to this.

That’s what I thought. Thanks Shane!
