Body: <p>I have footage from an Array Alexa Mini, shot with anamorphic lenses. The footage was desqueezed in camera, so the resulting video resolution is <code>2944x2160</code>. The codec is <code>Timecode, Apple ProRes 4444</code>, and the color profile is <code>HD(1-1-1)</code></p>
  <p>2944x1260 does not appear to be a standard format and I'm unsure how I should be working with these clips in FCPX.</p>
  <p>I also need to sync up audio and video. When I try to synchronise clips, the automatic settings are:</p>
  <ol>
  <li>720p HD 1280x720</li>
  <li>Rec 709</li>
  <li>automatic Audio Properties</li>
  </ol>
  <p>Which seems too low a resolution to me. When I look at the options in custom settings, there is no format that matches the resolution of the source video.</p>
  <p>So my question is, what setting should I be using for my synchronised clips and project?</p>

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2020-12-27)
  
  I have footage from an Array Alexa Mini, shot with anamorphic lenses. The footage was desqueezed in camera, so the resulting video resolution is `2944x2160`. The codec is `Timecode, Apple ProRes 4444`, and the color profile is `HD(1-1-1)`
  
  2944x1260 does not appear to be a standard format and I'm unsure how I should be working with these clips in FCPX.
  
  I also need to sync up audio and video. When I try to synchronise clips, the automatic settings are:
  
  1. 720p HD 1280x720
  2. Rec 709
  3. automatic Audio Properties
  
  Which seems too low a resolution to me. When I look at the options in custom settings, there is no format that matches the resolution of the source video.
  
  So my question is, what setting should I be using for my synchronised clips and project?
