Final Cut Express Problem

What are your clip and sequence settings?

Have you taken a look at the manual?

What are the settings (codec, format, resolution, fps, ...) of the source file?


Even though some might get tired of reading this, the thread title guy strikes again:

A more descriptive and precise thread title will help cater to the right audience and get you more responses.

To edit your thread title, just click on the

button on the bottom right of your original post and then click the "Go Advanced" button below your message.

Have you also taken a look at MRoogle, since that question may have been asked several times?
 
Those black bars are called "Letterboxing". It makes it so that when you watch widescreen videos on a Standard TV, it won't be distorted.

You have to change your Sequence settings to 16:9 (Right click the sequence and go to Properties/Settings).

Also, I think you would have to change all the clips' Master Clips in your timeline to 16:9 and drag them in the timeline again.
