I have shot some material on a GoPro 8 in 2.7K & placed that footage on a 2K project timeline & edited that material. I was hoping to send the material to my client in 1080P & 720P but as you can see from the settings in share, I am not able to chose these resolutions.
Can someone explain why those options are denied to me & how can I solve the problem?
Help much appreciated.

What is the exact frame resolution of your project? It sounds as if it's not 16:9. HD 720p and 1080p formats are only 16:9. For the standard HD formats you should convert your project content to a compound clip and place the compound in a project of the dimensions you want. This will produce a file with letterboxing.
What is the solution to my problem? I guess I should start a new project in a 2K project set to the correct resolution & select all from my existing project & drop it into the new one.
Would you mind telling me the correct 2K option that enables a 16:9 output?
Are you sure the original GoPro number is correct? It's not quite 16:9, but then it's GoPro so anything's possible,.
2048x1152 is 16:9.. If you want 1920x1080 output, why don't you just put it into a 1920x1080 project as I suggested in the beginning. Or you could make two projects the 16:9 2K and the 16:9 HD.
I made the project 2K as an acceptable means of mastering, ie holding something not quite as large as 2.7K, but bigger than 1080P for future use. I presumed the fact FCP offered a 2K project setting would mean in turn you could share it in any way you wanted.
It would seem I was wrong, I am sure I am not alone in being ignorant of the peculiar settings offered when sharing a 2K project.
Are you saying that NONE of the 2k project settings would enable me to share the project as a 1080P or 720P file? My clients do not like change, so if there is no choice, I guess the MICRO SD card will have to be my master & future projects are made in 1080P.
2048x1152 is 16:9. If you export master file Computer you can export to 16:9 formats, 2K, 1080, 720.
The movie started life on the GoPro as 2704 X 1520 50P, I then ingested this into FCPX choosing the FCP's 2K option which I believe is 2048 X1024 although I'm not exactly sure.
There are multiple 2K options in FCP. 2048x1024 isn’t16:9, hence the 1920x960 output to maintain the project aspect ratio.
Sharing from a 2K project question.
