    JButton master, balance, deposit, exit, enter;
    JTextArea main, field;
    JScrollPane pane, pane2;
    JPanel panel;
    Font f1;
    static String account, bal, name;
    static String s1;
    static PrintWriter output1;
    public Culminating () throws IOException
        Container container = getContentPane ();
        container.setLayout (null);
        container.setBackground (Color.red);
        f1 = new Font ("Andy", Font.BOLD, 15);
        setSize (500, 1000);     // Set the frame's size
        show ();
        //text area
        main = new JTextArea ("welcome, please select your option");
        main.setFont (f1);
        pane = new JScrollPane (main);
        main.setEditable (false);
        container.add (pane);
        pane.setBounds (20, 20, 460, 270);
        master = new JButton ("create account");
        container.add (master);
        master.setBackground (Color.yellow);
        master.setForeground (Color.red);
        master.setBounds (300, 320, 170, 30);
        master.setBorder (BorderFactory.createRaisedBevelBorder ());
        master.addActionListener (this);
        balance = new JButton ("balance");
        container.add (balance);
        balance.setBackground (Color.yellow);
        balance.setForeground (Color.red);
        balance.setBounds (300, 370, 170, 30);
        balance.setBorder (BorderFactory.createRaisedBevelBorder ());
        balance.addActionListener (this);
        deposit = new JButton ("deposit");
        container.add (deposit);
        deposit.setBackground (Color.yellow);
        deposit.setForeground (Color.red);
        deposit.setBounds (300, 420, 170, 30);
        deposit.setBorder (BorderFactory.createRaisedBevelBorder ());
        deposit.addActionListener (this);
        exit = new JButton ("exit");
        container.add (exit);
        exit.setBackground (Color.yellow);
        exit.setForeground (Color.red);
        exit.setBounds (300, 520, 170, 30);
        exit.setBorder (BorderFactory.createRaisedBevelBorder ());
        exit.addActionListener (this);
        enter = new JButton ("enter");
        container.add (enter);
        enter.setBackground (Color.yellow);
        enter.setForeground (Color.red);
        enter.setBounds (300, 470, 170, 30);
        enter.setBorder (BorderFactory.createRaisedBevelBorder ());
        enter.addActionListener (this);
        field = new JTextArea (" ");
        container.add (field);
        field.setFont (f1);
        field.setBounds (20, 380, 200, 100);
        setSize (400, 400);     // Set the frame's size
        show ();                // Show the frame
    } // Constructor
    public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent event)
        if (event.getSource () == master)
            main.setText ("enter in file name");
            name = field.getText ();
            create (name);
            if (event.getSource () == enter)
                field.setText (" ");
                output1.close ();
        if (event.getSource () == deposit)
        if (event.getSource () == balance)
        if (event.getSource () == exit)
            System.exit (0);
    public void create (String name)
        try
            output1 = new PrintWriter (new FileWriter (name + ".txt"));
        catch (IOException e)
            System.exit (0);
    public static void main (String[] args) throws IOException
        new Culminating ();     // Create a Culminating frame
    } // main method

Hi Sheps
I'm working in SD 16:9 PAl. If you're working totally in HD and have used the correct presets, it should all be practically automatic.
You say “the proportions of the Live type picture are correct but it still does not fill the screen”. What screen? How are you viewing the problem? The canvas in LT? The canvas in FCE? External TV monitor? What version of FCE? What version of LT?
Which texture? Have you selected a PAL or HD texture? Are you shooting HD or SD? Are you trying to mix formats?
I would like to suggest a couple of things for your future (and current) posts. Add some info to your profile regarding your Mac (more detail), QT version, drives, software versions, etc. It may help us in figuring out much quicker possible solutions to your problem.
Keep trying, and post back if no success.
