Hi there,

Working on a vertical resolution project and when I bounce over to the Fusion Page, it uses the original media resolution (maybe project's resolution?) and doesn't carry over the timeline's resolution from the edit page.

- This seems to be a new issue, as it was showing the same resolution in prior timelines I created
- I am using the most up-to-date version of Resolve
- I've tried the Crop Node and Transform Node, but that just adjusts the actual media - I'm trying to just view it as it is on the edit page, so I can see how the effects/graphics/text are applied to the final media.
- Included an attachment that shows both pages, if that helps.

Thanks and sorry if this has been covered, but I've been searching through the Forum and online now, going down several rabbit holes.

Fusion has always given you access to the full media.

You can try placing the clip into a Compound before moving over to Fusion. I believe the Compound will be created at the timeline res.

Or you can try adding a background node at the timeline specs.

I'm having the exact same problem, except I filmed on a sony A7 camera held in portrait mode, then imported the video, then realised I was going to have a problem, so opened the film in quicktime, rotated it 90 degrees, saved and reimported it. STILL got the same problem. Wondering if it is cached somewhere and I need to save the rotated film as a different file name.

Yeah that was it. Rotate film, resave as _rotated (or something) and then it's portrait on the timeline and fusion.

The way I generally deal with media in Fusion that doesn't match the timeline resolution is to use a transform node followed by a crop node. You set the crop node to the timeline resolution and everything downstream of it will be in the format you want. And then you use the transform node to orient and position the media within the cropped field of view.
