Trying to export a small video using Quick Time conversion…video only plays in upper left hand corner
Hi… still kind of new at FCP. I’m trying to export a small one and a half minute video into a Quicktime file that’s less than 1 GB. I exported as a Quick Time movie and it came out to 2.6 GB. I tried compressing using Compressor that and it took over 2 hours so I canceled it. I then tried exporting using Quick Time conversion and it came out to 66 MB, which is more what i’d expect. Except that the picture was only in the upper left hand corner of the Quick time viewer…the rest was black. I tried adjusting the dimensions, etc. but it didn’t work. Any idea why this is happening? Someone on the Apple boards suggested I change the settings…I’ve matched the sequence settings to the Easy Setup setting and still no luck. The picture still only plays in the upper left hand corner. I’ve shot videos using the same camera and settings and haven’t had this problem before…thanks!

I’m a little confused.
First, is the video in the CANVAS window only showing up in the upper corner? Dbl check to make sure your canvas window is set to FIT TO WINDOW — one of the dropdown buttons (usually has a percentage in it already).
IF, when you set it to fit to window and you do indeed see full frame video then…
File – Export – QT Conversion
Change to BROADBAND HIGH
Click OPTIONS and then SIZE — if 16:9 change to 480×270 if 4:3 leave it alone. Back out and export.
This 1.5 minute export will only be about 5 megs and will look great for web viewing.
But what is your intent for export?

Hi Drew,
What kind of footage are you editing and what do you exactly want to do, a video for the web?
