Subject: QT Player full screen mode



Daniel, this is totally doable with the current shipping player. If you are accessing fullscreen through the menus, we only let you choose black, but if you are calling fullscreen with applescript, you can open a movie in fullscreen with any color you want. See the suite of AppleScripts for QuickTime at:

http://www.apple.com/applescript/quicktime

One of them (if memory serves) also lets you embed auto-fullscreen-on-open info directly into a movie, so it will always open into fullscreen mode (with desired background color, size, etc).

Subject: QT Player full screen mode
From: Daniel Pirofsky <email@hidden>

This is a simple and more general question, but I ask it with a need to
exhibit QTVR panorama and object movies with Full Screen Mode.

QuickTime Pro (6.3) always provides a black background when displaying
movies in Full Screen Mode. I need to display movies full screen, but with a
white background.


I am skinning the movies and projecting them on a large white wall, so the
black background becomes a secondary rectangular and undesirable form of
framing. I prefer the skinned movie shape directly against the white wall
background.


The other size options (Half-Size, Normal, Double Size) do not hide the
computer desktop environment as does Full Screen.

I can re-render movies with a full screen-sized white background, but file
size increases. Or, I can place the movies in Director or other environment
and use a projector. But it would be great and much simpler if I could just
tell QT Pro to display a white background in Full Screen Mode.


Thanks!
