640x360 is a frequently use and highly recommended 16x9 size.
Your problem is that while your image is in the 16x9 shape, your video
is really still 4x3 with black lines filling in the difference. You
gotta set up a workflow in one way or another that *crops* off the
area where the black lin
wow - my brain hurts! Seriously though, thanks... I'll check into this
stuff, and see what I can figure out. That's why I love this group - a bunch
of helpful cool people!

Of course, I forgot that FCE limits the resolutions you can define in
Sequence settings to just standard DV and HD options, doesn't it? No
custom resolutions, no web-friendly options. Sigh. Another feature-
rich application for web video from Apple.
I'm not sure exactly what FCE offers you
If I were you, I'd export using the Export to iPod setting and see
what you get. It's very good at understanding what is needed,
letterboxing or not. Chances are, it'll do it right - but if not, if
your video still comes out looking wrong, then it may well be that
you've got the Distort s
I did another test (haven't published it anywhere). This time, I did
everything I mentioned below, but did NOT check the letterbox box. After
exporting, the mp4 video is stretched, and has the black letterbox lines top
and bottom.
Is 640x360 not a standard size or something?

That would have given you a letterboxed image in a 640 x 480 frame -
but I just opened the clip in quicktime and it's 640 x 360, not 640 x
480.
Personally, I would export it as 640 x 360 - just as you did - but
don't turn letterboxing on. That should give you a widescreen box

ok... I used the Sanyo Xacti HD1A. The source video was 1280X720, 30 fps mp4
video. I edited in FCE, then chose export using quicktime compression, and
did this:
- under format, chose mpeg-4 and clicked options
- chose mp4 under file format
- chose h.264 under video format
- did the 640x480 image
640x360 IS 16:9. It doesn't need to be letterboxed. It will be a
widescreen frame. The additional pillarbox in this file is probably
there because fitting a 16:9 frame inside a LETTERBOX inside another
16:9 frame makes it smaller on all sides.
But to know EXACTLY what happened we need to know:

What did you output the video to? 480x270 or something else?

looks to me like you need to change the settings of the player itself in
blip. Perhaps make it not quite as wide?
