Replying to Final Cut Pro Problems

Problem 1: For some reason when I import footage into final cut recently it shows up normal in the viewer window, then when I drag it into the timeline and play it it is a tiny tiny picture in the canvas.  This is wether it is 1080PI from my HV30 or off my standard def go pro.  Never had this problem before, then all of a sudden it started.

Problem 2: I just finished an edit, 3:17 long.  It playes through perfectly without a skip in final cut, audio and all.  But now when I export it using quicktime conversion the whole movie is there but there is no sound.  Well actually there is 1 second of sound at the beginning then silence for the rest, which makes it even weirder.

Any tips helpful, got lots of raw footage I need to edit and FCP is just fucking me in the ass.  Running it on a macbook which doesnt help.  Things move slow.
