Since you want to cut off part of your movie rather than shrink the whole thing, in that ‘Export Size Settings’ dialog tick the checkmark next to ‘Preserve aspect ratio using’ and set it to ‘crop.’
Compressor is really helpful for these kind of conversions because of its preview function which’ll allow you to see the results of fiddling with these settings before you send it to export.

You can also save your image as a png and the transparent areas will stay transparent when it is imported in FCP and put in a track above your footage.
