This is my first attempt at a time lapse. I would like some help getting the video to fit the whole media player, if that makes sense. Any other tips would be greatly appreciated.

Not bad. You definitely caught some cool clouds.

Were you shooting in manual? It looks like the exposure jumps back and forth a bit between some of the shots, so definitely make sure that you're Shutter, aperture, and ISO are all locked.

Also, It would be nice to get some of the landscape in the shot as well. Frame it a bit lower, maybe so the horizon is at the lower 1/3 of the frame.

I'll definitly try that, im just experimenting at the moment. Im using remote timing or whatever its called. so im just linking the camera up to my laptop and leaving it. Do you know how to make the picture fill the hole screen of the media player instead of having the two black spaces either side?(hope this makes sense)
