Completed project appears in the center of black screen

Using Movie Studio 15.0 Platinum, Windows 10 with a 64-bit operating system.

My video is 1280x720x32 and I have set the project frame size to this.

The video is not cropped/zoomed out- yet after rendering, the video appears small in the center of the screen instead of filling the screen.

How do I fix this?

Is it okay in Preview? If so you are doing something strange when rendering. Best give us details of the template you're using and any customisation you've made to it.

It looks fine in the video preview screen. Template is (1280x720, 30.000 fps).

Where are you seeing it in the centre of your screen? Which player? Could it be the problem? Try other players if you have alternatives.

Also are you perhaps using the track labelled "Picture-in-picture"?

I have opened it in the Windows 'Films and Tv' app as well as Windows Media player. Both with the same result.
And no, I am using the video track

Then it's a complete mystery. Post a screenshot of your project so we can see if there's anything unusual.

Here it is

You have a track fx applied to your Video track. What is it?

I hadn't noticed that- maybe this is the issue

Also how long is your project? Is there something on other tracks as the Make Movie box indicates a render time and file size that is much more than the 2min 10 secs shown on the timeline.

Yes untick the PIP or delete it. Still doesn't make sense though as you would see the PIP effect in the preview.

It's as though you have another track underneath. The nature of the image doesn't help identify what one is seeing. As midnight approaches I must get to bed but hopefully someone more experienced will be along to unravel this mystery.

Unticked it and rendered again, problem solved!
Project is 2:13. And the only thing on the timeline is what is shown in the above screenshot.

After a good nights sleep I now realise why the preview doesn't show the PIP - The split screen button above the preview is activated and it's probably set on "Select All".
