cropping video in FCP

[robertc]

I shot some video in HDV in widescreen mode 16:9. I need to crop into one of the clips so as to take away some unwanted area on the edges. How can I crop and have the image brought back into the full 19:9 proportion. I have cropped it, but it seems to just put a black edge around where I cropped instead of bringing it back to the full size I need to match the other video I shot.
Any help? Thanks.

Cropping is just that, you take away and leave blank. What you'll need to do to after cutting part of the image out of the frame is to enlarge the image size enough to fill in the whole frame.
