Thanks so much for your help!! I de-interlaced all of the clips and it fixed the problem. The video in a Quicktime movie now looks great!

Could I now pose another question that’s been troubling me for some time…?

I have a project that I edited in FCP and exported as a quicktime movie. The clips in FCP (and in the exported movie) don’t fill the entire window. Their is black space at both the top and bottom of the screen.

Apparently I edited the clips into a timeline that didn’t match the format of the clips. I’ve tried everything to get the clips in the project to fill the entire window so that when it is exported the movie fills the entire screen. I’ve made sure the project timeline has the same settings as the video clips. To test the original footage, I imported some of the raw footage again into a new timeline and there is no problem – they fill the entire window. The problem is how I can get my already edited project to fit the window properly. I don’t want to re-edit the entire project. Do I need to cut and paste the project into a new timeline and save as a new project?

Any suggestions??

Thanks!!
