Hello, I am a technology teacher at a school. Our 8th grade students made short 2 minute movies which I would like to play tomorrow night at our Creativity Night. I like the way Quicktime automatically plays the movie, but I would like for the movie to be full screen. Is there a way to do this with QT5?? If not, does anyone know of a movie player that will do this??
Thanks in advance for you help!!

Open QuickTime player. In the menu at the top of the screen, select movie. Select double size or fill screen.

I think zeebee actually means full screen with no controls or anything. There's 2 ways:

1)Register Quicktime Pro, then go to the movie menu and select "Present movie", then click 'fill screen'

2) (if you run OS 9) get an old version of Quicktime Player (used to be called movieplayer), like version 3. Just the application, not the QT extensions. I can email this to you if you like. The older versions give you features like this for free, and still run all new files.

I believe you can access this and most other QT pro features through applescript, though I don't know how. There are also a number of shareware options.

actually, after poking around I've discovered you can type the following into the Script Editor and it will play full screen whatever movie you have open

tell application "QuickTime Player" to present scale screen

I got what you need right here: http://www.versiontracker.com/morein...305&db=mac

this is a cool app, you gan darg QT movies onto it and have them play fullscreen almost instantly, works on OS X and OS 9.

Also if you make a folder for each movie and place a copy of the app in each, when you start the app it woll auto load the movie in that foler, or play multiple movies in apha order.

its free too
