Hey all,

My friend and I made a movie for an event at school, and it was too big to finalize (according to him the computer kept freezing at 1 our and stuff) so we had to play it right from iMovie on the projector.

I wanted a copy of this for myself, so I got him to send me the iMovie file so I can open up the project in iMovie on MY mac (I was thinking to split it up in half and import two halves and put them back together to get over how the program couldn't finalize the large file).

Anyways, all those yellow exclamation marks appeared since I didn't have any of the source videos, and as a result I cannot finalize either. HOwever, I am happy with just having it for now, but here is the problem:

The clips (pretty much the entire movie) appear to be cut off slightly (so people who are IN shot on the periphery of the screen are cut out when the clips are previewed in the window thingy on iMovie (and also when I change the rcproject file to mov since I cant finalize it, the mov file, when I watch on VLC or anything else, does the same thing - the shots are cut off). What is causing this problem and how can I fix it? Id appreciate any help.

And just incase anyone suggests, it is NOT a cropping issue, I have all clips set to "fit".

Thanks!
