FCPX Not Supported Video 4.2K (4264 x 2408) Shot by Sony FX6 + Atomos Shogun

With the latest firmware, the Sony FX6 + Atomos Shogun can now shoot video at 4.2K Metadata Uncropped (4264 x 2408) resolution.

But I can't find 4.2K (4264 x 2408) resolution listed in FCPX.

I know I can select the resolution of the Video as “Custom” and type in 4264 x 2408 myself.

But that created a huge problem for me. Because my work is music video type, there are more than 100 shots of “Synchronized Clip” in each project. So I have to type the number 4264 x 2408 hundreds of times. (Because I have to do it every time I start using the tool. "Synchronized Clip")

I need advice Is it possible to add 4.2K (4264 x 2408) resolution list to FCPX support? Because creating a new Project also has this problem.

And still do not know if the new version of FCPX will support 4.2K resolution or not.

I'm sorry in my language and thanks for the advice

If your FX6, Shogun and audio were all jam-synced to the same timecode something like sync-n-link has the ability to automatically create multicams and synchronized clips based on a project's setting.

You should test with a few clips to make sure that FCP handles it properly in a project with whatever effects you plan to use. I don't see why it wouldn't but you don't want to get so far into the process only to discover things don't work the way you expect. What are your final delivery specs?

The format is not supported for automatic project or clip syncing. It would have to be done manually.

this resolution It was created by SONY & Atomos =)

If fcpx doesn't have a solution for 4.2K users and doesn't have the ability to support other resolutions like this 4.2K, then I accept this difficulty =)

For my team, the process of making a music video requires tools. "Synchronized Clip" on every clip taken first ... so that the next step "Multicam Clip" will work properly.

How are you syncing? If there is audio on the camera shots there is no need to sync off you’re going to multicam.

But the format isn’t because it’s a non-standard format.

while shooting video Sound is not very clear Because the music is playing through the speakers in the studio ... If not syncing each video first, it will cause multicam to work very wrong.
