My apologies, Jeremy. Your solution seemed to work. If you don’t mind, can you tell me why? As I mentioned in the above post, I didn’t think the video’s native resolution was supposed to have any effect on how it is viewed in a timeline. I’ve worked with Final Cut for years and never encountered this problem, although I’ve mixed resolutions in a timeline countless times (typically Final Cut resizes it to whatever the timeline setting resolution is).
As far as I can tell this is just a glitch in Final Cut that I have found a workaround for, but like I said I might be missing something. I’m always trying to figure out the why’s, not just solutions, so if you got some light to shed, please enlighten me.

It looks fine. Completely normal. Uncropped and just as it should be.

[Jeremy Garchow] “If you left the frame size @ 640×480, why would you expect the frame size to be something different? “
I don’t think you quite understand my issue. I didn’t expect the re-encoding to redo the frame size. I did expect it to stay the same. (Resizing to a particular frame size is something Final Cut should and does do all the time). The issue is a cropping.
When I place a portion of my re-encoded footage into my timeline, and only then, do I get a crop. NOT a resizing, but a cropping, where only the 1st quadrant of the image is visible (ref: the above posted image). The issue seems to be some weird loss of translation from the viewer to the timeline. And in any case, nothing is distorted, it is heavily cropped, that is, made smaller by the HD timeline, not larger.
I will try what you suggested, but that still would not explain, really, the problem I am having. Unless I am missing something? (Which could always be the case)
