Problem with capture.
I’m dealing with quite a frustrating problem. I am capturing footage off of a mini dv tape, and when I drag it onto the time line there are 16:9 black bars on the top and bottom and the picture looks crunched. However when I play it from the viewer the picture looks fine and there are no black bars. What can I do to fix this problem?

You have captured anamorphic video and you are placing it in a 4×3 timeline. FCP is automatically letterboxing it in an attempt to make it fit.
Go to sequence settings and tick the anamorphic box BEFORE you put any footage in it.
I notice you have a lot of questions and you’re quite new to FCP. Welcome to the fun! You may find a friendlier answer to questions on the Creative Calf forum, and always remember that the manual for FCP is a lot better than most.
All the best
