two clips same setting different look
hello
I have to clips of video in my Browser window, with the EXECT setting (I’m working with 16:9 NTSC footage) the strange thing is that one clip has a letterbox (black mask on it and the anamorphic option is not checked, when i check it it gets a squeezed) and the other lip appears 16:9 but has no letterbox (black mask) and when i export it as still image it gets stretched and needs to be squeezed
can you please tell me what is going on? what is the problem, this is not the first time that i face thins problem
many thanks in advance

The first thing to always try is to Quit FCP, Restart the Mac, Open your FCP project and try again.
Next:
THE FOLLOWING COMES FROM THE KEN STONE WEBSITE:
“Over 5,000 years ago Confucius wrote: ‘If you are toiling away, you have changed nothing and FCP heads South on you, [starts behaving in strange ways] then it is time to trash your FCP Preferences.’ ”Click the following link for instructions.
https://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/trashing_fcp_prefs.html
A great way to do this is to use “FCP Rescue” a free Apple Script that will Trash the Preferences for you (and restore nearly all of your user settings afterward).
There are versions for FCP (Pro) & FCE (Express).Download these free Apple Scripts at
