Anyone having problem trying to stabilize Vertical Takes?

I have a Sony FX30 camera, recording 4K 60fps, HEVC, 422 10bits.

Final Cut seems to not understand my Vertical footage, when i try to stabilize, the footage get more shaky than the original.

Is there any solution?

Horizontal takes works fine.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.4

final cut pro - clip super zoomed in when enabling stabilization?? The clip looks very blurry, I can tell the video is now way zoomed in. I tried reinserting the clip from the original footage, and it still ended up like that when I enabled stabilization. What's weird is that I've stabilized all the other clips...

Issue with stabilization of GH6 Footage (It makes it worse!!) Hello folks, I've got a problem that I wasn't able to solve. Was wondering if anyone has a similar issue? I do lots of social media work and my combo has over the years been Panasonic GH5, GH5s and for editing FCPX. Was impressed how good stabilisation worked with any footage. Nailed it 9/10 times without any adjustments. However, I've recently pruchased Panasonic GH6 and I dont know what the heck is going on. Whenever I stabilaze a clip, it makes things worse. It's litterlay 50% more shaky than it was before. I've run various test, it works on GH5 (IBIS) and GH5s (No IBIS) but won't work with GH6 (IBIS). Is there anyone who could help or tell the FCPX team they need to look into this or put it in their next update because otherwise I can't continue using FCPX. Cheers & Thank you.

Stabilization Doesn't Work on Vertical Footage. Is anyone else experiencing this. When I'm working with a vertical timeline and vertically filmed footage, none of the stabilization methods work at all. In fact, it makes the footage worse than before. I've read some other have also experienced this, but i can't find a solution. I've also had the stabilization work with proxy footage but as soon as I switch to optimized, it doesn't work any longer.
