    Hey guys,

    Obviously new to the FCP game, as this probably has a very simple solution.
    I was messing around on FCP a little tipsy the other night (mistake) and somehow thismorning when I go to load my video, the entire thing is zoomed in too far when I replay it on the canvas.

    Now the weird thing is, it doesn’t seem to be due to the ‘Motion’ tab in the viewer (I’m fully aware of the ‘Zoom’ feature in the viewer, I had used it for all of my KenBurns).

    Rather, my entire video (a collection of pictures with ken burns effects, followed by a short video clip) seems zoomed in too far. But the zoom settings on the Canvas are set at the usual 100%. When I zoom out to 50% I can see my whole clip and alot of empty space around it.

    Any ideas?? I would really appreciate some help, this is very frustrating to me and it’s holding me up from going further.
