I'm guessing my case might not be a common one, but it is not as rare for it to be a fringe case I believe.
So I made a fusion composition for a motion graphics animation of elements, this in a custom resolution of a portrait video (1080x1920 for instagram stories) all is good, however, I tried to make a square version of it (1080x1080) and all of the contents of the fusion composition change to a standard 16:9 aspect ratio and undoing only affected actions, this could only be undone via reverting to last saved version.
I've tried resizing three ways and only one works but not without its problems:
From what I can deduce, creating a new timeline makes the fusion compositions in an existing timeline inherit the new size for some reason.
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
If it matters, I'm doing this to make a broadcast kit (title and bumper screens) for different social media sizes. While I'm aware Fusion is not a motion graphics software, I've been happily impressed with the powerful tools included, so I ditched the subscription hell to go full time Blackmagic

I've tried resizing three ways and only one works but not without its problems:
- 1 Duplicating the vertical timeline and changing its settings to square size
This creates the problem described above directly onto itself - 2 Creating a new timeline with the square size and copying the contents of the edit tab
This changes the original fusion composition on the vertical to a square, even before copying the contents - 3 The one that "Worked"
Duplicating the timeline, deleting the fusion composition, resizing from settings, then creating a new fusion composition and dragging that into the timeline, going back to the original vertical timeline, activating fusion and select all nodes, ⌘+C copy, going back to edit, changing to square timeline, activating fusion panel again, ⌘+V pasting the nodes and connecting to media out.
