  Help! Im on a deadline and unable to work…

  Many thanks in advance
  Blow example. The footage is :

  Is this footage SD or HD? What is the frame size? 720×360? 1280×720? 1920×1080? And what are your SEQUENCE settings? (CMD-0…or Sequence menu…settings) What are those dimensions?

  the image in that viewer sure looks like 4/3,
  although weirdly there are what look like grey pillboxes on it’s left and right,
  that are exactly the same colour as the viewer.
  weird.

  firstly you need to do what Shane suggest, and check your footage properties,
  and your sequence settings

  also, in your user FCP preferences,
  go to the editing pane,
  and make sure “Auto conform sequence” is set to “Ask”
