Hi everyone. I'm a relatively new user of DVR but I've been considering it for a while now for grading my work. However, I'm encountering some frustrating teething issues which I'm hoping someone far more knowledgeable than me with DVR can assist me with.
I've cut together some 4k footage in a 1080p timeline in FCPX (10.4.3). I'm working to a 1920x800 aspect ratio. In some of the shots I've adjusted the crop i.e. either corrected a tilted horizon, zoomed in for tighter framing or shifted the frame up or down within the ratio to achieve better composition - one of the benefits of shooting 4k then editing in 1080p
However when I export the xml from FCPX and import it into DVR (v15) I'm having all sorts of issues with framing. I get black borders around my shots or a crop that doesn't match the one that I made in FCPX. I've tried every setting I can find to try and address this and get DVR to match what I've done in FCPX, but to no avail.
Thus far I've tried:
None of this has worked. They've all given different results - but nothing has matched what I've done in FCPX which makes this an unusable solution for me.
So, is it something I'm doing or setting wrong? Is DVR simply not capable of accurately matching clip cropping and movement from FCPX? Is there a solution to this issue?
Any help/guidance on this would be much appreciated. I'm tearing my hair out here and I don't have that much to spare to begin with!
Cheers
Dave

Thus far I've tried:
- Changing my DVR project settings - timeline resolution from 1920x800 to 4k 3840x2160
Changing my input and output scaling (tried every setting and none of them worked)
Checking and unchecking the 'Use Sizing Information' option in the Load XML dialogue within DVR, as well as setting the timeline resolution to UHD.
'Render at Source Resolution' in the DVR Deliver window.
