I'm not certain if 'crop' is the right term. I'm new to iMovie so I may have some of the terminology wrong.

When I import a movie, I allow it to resize to the recommended settings instead of full size.

Then I drag it from the lower event pane into the project pane. In the 'preview' pane where the movie can be played, the top and bottom of the movie are cut off a little.

It's like its converting it to widescreen by cutting off the top and bottom.

After I publish the movie in mobile format (it won't allow any larger) it still has the top and bottom removed.

How can I stop this? I even tried importing full (original) size and it still didn't help.
