Sides of video are cropped when exported from FCP7

Ok So i said it kind of confusing, For a dvd Im exporting it quicktime movie then i have it on current settings and i have make movie self contained checked in the box.

So when i export like this from FCP the sides of the clip get chopped a slight bit. When i watch it in quicktime player the sides are chopped.

I did what you said and took the quicktime movie i exported and put it back into fcp like you said and it looks the same way as the raw file the sides are not chopped off. Why is quicktime player chopping the sides off?

But ok I took the quicktime movie i exported and put it into compressor and compressed it for dvd, I then took the compressed split audio video file and put them into dvd studio pro and burned them onto a dvd. I put the dvd in the player and watch the clip on my tv once again the sides are cut off. Note im playing the clip on a hd tv and it is set to normal on tv so it should show the whole frame not like a regular sd tv that cuts off the sides a bit.

Im going to post some screen shots also, if anyone can help me it be much appreicated!

notice the chopped sides on hd tv, it should be showing the vignetting from the fisheye on the corners.

Notice this is the same tv but someone else put it on dvd for a edit notice the sides are not chopped at all the full vignetting is stil there you can fully see the person on the right side of frame not like above one

note this is the same clip but exported in fcp quicktime movie and put back into the timeline after being exported it is the same size as the raw one,

Since i exported the clip and put it back into fcp and it is the same size as the raw un edited clip, my question is why are the sides being chopped when burning it onto dvd? On the tv it should show full frame because it is hd tv set to normal it should show it like it does in fcp

Im really confused at what is happening any help is much appreciated thanks

Click anywhere on the timeline with the shot that shows the correct vignetting and then type Command + 9 to see the sequence settings. Post a screen shot of those settings here.

EDIT: Sorry, that is incorrect. Type Command + 0 {zero} to see the Sequence Settings.

Can you open the exported file in QuickTime 7 not QuickTime X?

QuickTime 7 may be in your Utilities folder.

Open the movie in QT7 and go to the menu Window > Show Movie Properties.

When the Movie Properties window opens, click on the Presentation Tab.

Is Conform Aperture Checked? What does it say?

yea its the same thing as above i just check,

my flickr account sign me out and i forgot my password hahaso i cant post screenshot

note next to movie controller type it says movie controller in bar

note one thing i just noticed the clip i exported when you said export the clip in quicktime movie current settings, i just open that in quicktime 7 it says the clip is 655x480 instead of being 640x480 like the raw clip is in quicktime 7

A year or two ago there was a poster with a similar problem, where the video appeared zoomed in like your examples. I can't remember what the solution was (if any) and this ridiculous forum search tool is not helping.

Maybe someone else will recall it.

Sorry
