Final Cut Export/Youtube

Ah okay; so all you have is your final rendered video; which is 4×3 letterboxed?
In that case; if you really want it to play fullscreen on YouTube, I’d create like a 1280×720 or 960×540 square pixel sequence in FCP; drag your letterboxed final file into that sequence, do NOT match sequence settings to clip settings; then manually scale up your video so that it fills the window and eliminates the black bars
Not ideal, and you’ll lose some quality of course.
-
If it’s an h.264 final render you might have better luck doing this in After Effects, as FCP has trouble with h.264 files

You think it’s better to just leave it alone? You saw it (I assume) 😀 it’s just bordered, but I can try that as well. At least do a comparison. It seems like making sure the youtube window is filled is a professional requirement.

I’d do the comparison and see how it looks; can’t hurt.

interesting,……alright,….yeah it has been h.264. I know I dont have the BEST equipment but I do the best I can with what I have so the loss of quality on youtube already bugs the crap out of me. The more compressed the image is,…the better it actually looks,…especially since this utilized the neat video effect as well, as my friend’s camera performed MISERABLY in the low light,…GRAIN CITY,…so that footage is a little blury,..as that’s what neat video does, but I made the mistake of blowing that up to a tv once,……GOOD LORD 😉
