    [derek nagle] “any tips for fixing this”

    Fixing what? Do you mean the video is playing full size in the viewer now and it won’t play back properly? You can’t see the full video frame in the viewer? If that’s the case then choose “Fit To Window” in the drop down menu in the Viewer or Canvas windows.

    Sounds like you have everything set correctly. Do you have “Show Multiclip Angles” checked? If that’s not it then quit FCP, trash the program’s preference files then restart FCP and see if that’s solved it.

    I can’t remember and I’m not at my edit suite at the moment. Just start pulling down menus. Maybe the “View” menu?

    Another reason the same video will play in both the viewer and canvas windows at the same time is if you’ve used the “collapse muliticlip” command by mistake, or that your multiclip track has been disabled or muted. You can expand the multiclip track again if it has become collapsed.

    go to Tools menu > Render Manager… and trash the renders on this sequence/project

    or toggle off visibility on your video track then toggle it back on again, that should also cause FCP to lose the renders

    see if that helps
