Fcp 7 Canvas window zoomed out

Starting a project and the canvas window is zoomed out. Both canvas and viewer are at 25%. Viewer looks perfect viewing the file in the browser. I've had this problem before, but couldn't figure it out. I hope its an easy fix. Thank you!

Set the scale of the display in the canvas by click on the left hand button at the top of the canvas and selecting the size of display you want. You can also select "fit to window" at the top of the list of scale sizes if you want it at maximum size.

  • Bad Video in FCP Canvas Window. Normal?

    When I am scrubbing through the Canvas Window, I am get lots of distorted video. I posted a couple of screen captures to my Mobile Me gallery as examples.
    http://gallery.me.com/jay.sims#100398
    I am running a 27" Core i5 with 8 GB of RAM and 512 MB of video RAM.
    I just recently upgraded to this current iMac from a '07 24" iMac. I did not have these issues with my old iMac, so now I am worried I may have a bad video card on my hands.
    I have the most recent updates to FCP 7 installed.
    Any ideas?

    I have posted screen captures of my Sequence settings and clip properties in the gallery I linked to above.
    I do not have exact answers yet for what is happening in the Viewer window or QuickTime Player. I tried scrubbing through a clip in the View window, but FCP crashed before I could see any results. I have not fully test QuickTime player yet.
    I can add that this problem only seems to occur while scrubbing. Simply playing video in the Canvas window does not yield any bad results and everything looks fine.
    Also, I moved all FCP folders and media to a different drive. That did not correct the issue.
    And I have discovered that once the issues occurs I cannot render any video. Attempting to render video results in the message "Error! Out of memory.", which I assume is not a good sign.

  • Frequnecy Analysis windows zooms out full every time I close an audio file.

    After zooming in on the frequency anaylsis window while working on an audio file, when I close the audio file, the windows zooms completely out.  Is there a way that I can keep the frequency analysis window at the same "level"?  e.g., I like to set the vertical level from about 10dB to -130dB, but when I close the audio file, it goes back to about 50dB to -300dB.

    If it's the same as here, it has a different range showing if there's no file loaded, compared to when there is. Bizarre...

  • Odd icons appearing in FCP Canvas Window

    Hi,
    I'm running FCP 4.5.
    Whenever I load a clip onto the timeline and view it in the canvas window it plays just fine. But if I hit the spacebar and stop the clip I get an icon appearing in the canvas frame that looks like a yellow triangle with an exclaimation point in the middle. When I resume play it goes away.
    I'm not sure if I should be concerned about this or not, but I don't recall this happening when I first got the program.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Braker is correct, your online help system should be intact unless the previous owner was a real schmuck.
    I wonder if a manual is still available anywhere for FCP 4.5,
    You can find them on eBay every now and then but you can easily locate used copies of mnumerous FCP4 and 4.5 bibles form third party publishers. Look for titles by Tom Wolsky and Jerry Hofmann as well as the APTS from Peachpit Press.

  • FCP Canvas window

    I have just started having a problem with the Canvas window.
    I have looked through other posts about this problem yet none of them work/make sense to me as I am not a technical person!
    My Canvas window has recently just started to show 2 black horizontel lines above and below my clip, yet in other sequences on the same project they are fine. I upload footage from the same camera yet it does this to only a few sequences without me cicking anything.
    This is obviously ruining my viewing of the film as it is a stretched clip.
    Any help please?

    Becky,
    Are you using FCP 7? If you are, I would post your question in the Fnal Cut Studio forum in order to get the best possible responses.
    In either case, I would suggest you verify your clip properties…in FCP 7, coommand 9; in FCPX, select the clip and open the Inspector. Sounds llike they differ – even if from the same camera –which would explain the letterboxing.
    Good luck.

  • I was viewing a page online, and somehow it zoomed out so the page is tiny in the browser window. How do I zoom back in?

    I was viewing a page online, and somehow it zoomed out so that the page is now tiny in the browser window. I've shut down all my windows and rebooted my computer, but every time I return to that page, it is still tiny. I've looked for a button to control the zoom, but cannot find anything. How do I zoom back out so the page is the correct size again?

  • HOWTO show a popup window with ZOOM OUT effect?

    Hi,
    I want to implement such an effect in flex:
    Popup a modal window, which is showing as zooming out from
    the backgroud stage.
    I know how to implement in flash, but how in flex?
    please help.
    thanks.

    When you define the pop-up, set its scaleX and scaleY to
    zero. Then assign its showEffect to a <mx:Zoom> effect. If
    you don't set the initial scale to 0, you may briefly see the
    pop-up at full size before the Zoom effect re-scales it to zero.
    Note that your text may not scale: it depends on the font and
    if the Flash player can scale it; you can always embed the font and
    it will work correctly.
    You can make the Zoom effect either an MXML tag or create it
    with ActionScript when you make the pop-up.

  • Safari Window zoom in and out

    Every so often when I am using Safari and have another application(s) running in the background, the Safari window will zoom out and the other apps are shown, as though I am using Expose. A click on the Safari window, which is also highlighted in blue, zooms it back and makes it the primary window. What is causing this to happen and is there a way to stop it from happening?
    Thanks.
    PS: I am using Snow Leopard but I don't know which version it is.

    In Safari > Preferences > Advanced the smallest the font size can be set to is 9.
    If you'd like to, please send feedback to Apple developers >  Apple - Safari - Feedback

  • CANVAS WINDOW OVERTOPPING ALL OTHER WINDOWS IN FCP

    Hi All
    During editing I notice my canvas window blown up and take over the entire 20" screen. The only way to get all windows back on desktop is tput the mouse all the way to the top of the screen and click on the menu bar. All the window will pop up then but wnen I click on any window the canvas window again will overtop all the other windows.
    I am not sure what to do at this point. I would like some help please
    thank you

    Mouse up and get the fcp menu bar. View>arrange>standard
    That should get you back in thew ballpark. If this just happened all of a suddden it's time for you to use fcp rescue or attic. Search this forum for them, read about them, download and use.

    You should also ask this in the iPad forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

  • FCP 4: NTSC monitor image FROZEN/movie plays JITTERY in canvas window.

    Hey guys. This started yesterday. Every time I hit play, the image from the frame I began playing at on the timeline remains frozen on my NTSC monitor, while the movie plays jittery, roughly, totally unsmoothly in the canvas window. I'm pretty sure I've tried all of Shane's answers, but right now I'm stuck. Any help is immensely appreciated.

    Shane's stock answers addresses this, but make sure
    that under the View mene that you are set to "All
    Frames" and not "Single Frame"
    Yeah, I had that covered from the beginning, but this sucker is stuck on whatever frame I begin to play from.

  • How to zoom out and view an entire track in the window

    There's got to be a way to zoom out so an entire track can viewed at once so that segments of the track can be shifted around. I have a track that is about 50 minutes long with several segments in it. I want to shift the segments around. Right now I can only view about a minute of the track at a time and have to click on the segment then move the cursor either left or right and wait for Garageband to scroll to the time where I want to put it. Isn't there a way to just zoom out and view the entire track and then shift segments around without all the scrolling? Does that make sense?

    Hm ... mine zooms out to more than an hour?
    interesting!
    I opened GB4 and it maxed out at 4 minutes. then i opened GB6 and it maxed out at 15 minutes. then i opened another project in GB 6 and it maxed out at 35 minutes.
    so there must be something else going on here, perhaps like how time sigs affected length in the older versions?

  • FCP 7, viewer and canvas window is dark in lion

    How to fix this problem???

    The image in the Viewer and Canvas windows are 1 to 2 apperture too dark. When I convert a timeline to .mov file into Compressor or Quicktime converter, has the picture (movie) the right exposure ...
    hope my English is understandable...

  • Viewer Window Doesn't Zoom Out

    I want to crop down an iPhone footage, because it was shot vertical.  Using the crop tool I've reframed shot, but once I hit the done button.  It zooms in close to the shot.  It's baffling why it would do that.  I was unable to find a zoom out key...

    "Double Tap Three fingers and Drag to Change Zoom"
    Do this in conjunction to zoom back out.
