Re: QT Player full screen mode

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.

As Brad mentioned, you can do this using AppleScript.

If you need to make it part of the movie, to display under Windows,
for example, you can do it without adding more than a few KBytes
to the file.

You don't need to expand every video sample to full-screen
using white pixels. Just add a new video track in the background
with a single sample that lasts for the whole movie:

1) Open a white GIF in QT Player (it can be 1x1 pixel)

2) Get Movie Properties and adjust the Video Track's
     Size property. Stretch it to "full screen" (1024x768?)

3) Select All. Copy. Close (don't save).

4) Open your movie. Select All. Add Scaled.
    This pastes the white rectangle over your image.

5) Get Movie Properties. Adjust the Layer property
    of your new video track to put it in back (larger number).
    Use the Size property to adjust the x,y offset to
    your movie is centered on the background.

6) Save As (self-contained).

I believe you can accomplish this using wired sprites as well...

Hope this helps,
-Steve
