Exporting iMovie to Quicktime - no full screen... ?

When I export my iMovie project to Quicktime I loose the option to view full screen, anyone know what I may be doing wrong. Is it a bug within Quicktime?

Hi
Best way IS TO NOT USE - Share/Export to iDVD - destructive rendering.
But:
• Close iMovie when done
• Locate Your movie icon (with a Star on it)
• Drop this into iDVD theme window (but not in button drop-zone)
Now iDVD will do the rendering and so much better.

I would like to use slideshow in lightroom to export my video as a full screen 1920x1080 video with text overlays. I am using text overlay in lightroom as it reads from the metadata that is easy for me to input in the library screen. When i export from lightroom slideshow and choose the 1920x1080 resolution the end product is a very small video in the middle of a black background. i have double checked and do not have any borders turned on. Another option would be to export from the library but lr mogrify does not seem to put text overlays on video either. Any input would be welcome.

I dont understand anything you said in your post.
Do you have a specific question about video production?
The forums are for individual technical or creative issues that users have with video production. I am sur someone will be able to help you, but and to get a response it is best to ask a specific question.
Is this about a technical problem you have or something about setting up a web site? If its the latter this is the wrong forum.

Can't export imovie to quicktime

When I try to convert my imovie to quicktime, I go to share under the file menu and selct CD-ROM in the compression menu. But when I click the share tab my movie is grayed out and I cannot select for transfer to quicktime.
Please tell me what I am doing wrong.
Cheers

You actually could have gone under the same file menu, or the share menu a couple of toolbar menus down, and rather than import or share to Quicktime, this time share it to iDVD. iDVD will open automatically and then you can select a theme, add photos, etc.
You can drag a QT file from the desktop or wherever into iDVD, but since you first saved your movie as a Quicktime file with CD-ROM quality, you probably do not want to use this file. You would want it to be Full Quality. Then you could open iDVD, create a new project, and simply drag that file into the window. But again, why not just export from the iMovie application directly to iDVD?

Possible to view quicktime in full screen on external monitor?

Hey All!
Im wondering if there is any way to view quicktime movies in full screen (or use front row for that matter) on an external desktop set up us as an extended desktop (as opposed to mirror). This seems like quite a dumb thing to not be able to do.

This is a problem for most software on the mac, especially games. My experience has been most software uses the primary - in this case the macbook lcd - as its display monitor. There are a few ways to fudge it to force it on another screen, but quite frankly I find that the only way to use a macbook pro and external monitor is with the lid closed.
This is generally the best solution as the menu bar is always stuck on the primary anyway.
To use the macbook closed simply wake the computer from sleep with an external keyboard or mouse the laptop and the primary will now be the external monitor.
The only real downside is how do I now use the isight????

Imovie'09 crashes when full screen preview of project

Hello,
When I try to preview a project that I made in full screen, the application crashes. Is this a problem with the application or the OS?
Thanks for you suggestions.

@thomasfrommaitiand -- are you referring to the projects when you say left side of my screen?
I will share my findings.
I cleared my issue basing on inputs that I received from this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3343087?start=0&tstart=0
Basically, I had to duplicate my project so that I do not loose my original version and then started deleting each clip, audio overlays, transitions from the project one by one. I had photos interlaced in my project along with the video and some audio clip overlaying the video.
Luckily about 1 minute int the project, I identified that a Title slide that I had inserted into the project was causing the full screen to crash. Once I deleted that 1 slide, I was able to run my project in full screen without any issues. It is quite cumbersome and manual especially if you have multiple pieces in your project. However, you are desperate to have your project working like mine, this is the only best solution that I could garner. However, I also followed the instructions from the above mentioned thread posted by "elikness" and deleted the imovie.plist. That didnt really help but I followed those instructions too.

IMovie only opens in full screen

I have an iMac that has iMovie '11 on it, and I can only view the window in full screen. if I exit full screen the window goes away yet I can still see the options for iMovie at the top bar. Any ideas on how to fix this?

with the imovie open put your cursor to the top of the screen until the main menu appears. click on the word view and then exit full screen
once you do that, click on the word imovie in the main menu bar and hold down the option key and choose "quit and close all windows" this should remove the previous state of the application.
try reopening it and it should be in normal view.

Quicktime automatic full screen, freezes

About a week ago I started having problems with my Quicktime Player with no obvious cause. When I try to open a video in Quicktime Player, the video automatically goes to full screen and stays stuck on the opening frame. I cannot click anywhere in this screen. The only thing I've found that works is putting my computer into standby mode and starting it up again. When I do this, Quicktime player is open to normal size upon restart but if I hit play, no video shows up (although the counter at the bottom runs).
I have run antivirus and spyware software and updated my Quicktime to 7.6.4 to no benefit. When I visited the Quicktime help website, an embedded quicktime graphic had the same effect (the page loaded, then the graphic went full screen although did animate). How can I fix my Quicktime Player?

To be sure I understand you: this means that I CANNOT have quicktime automatically launch in Full Screen mode. I have to have a keyboard, and press the Ctrl-F.
Between that and not being able to have it auto close, that pretty much eliminates Quicktime from being of any value for my purposes, which is to use it in my theatre environment from my HTPC. I don't want to have to be dragging out a keyboard.

Quicktime for full screen recording

Is there anyway I can do full screen recording using Quicktime. I can't seem to get it working when in full screen mode. Is there any keystrokes that I can use while in full screen mode?

What I meant was if I am playing a youtube video in full screen mode how do I capture that?
Update : OK I think I have this licked. I just click on the record button, click on the existing screen and then swipe to another space where the full screen video is playing. Cool.

Quicktime Pro Full Screen Mode

How do I control the Quicktime Video Player when it is in Full Screen mode? I can't Pause, Rewind, Fast-Forward, Play, etc.
Is there a way to do this?

I found out that this is part of 10.4.4

Quicktime/iTunes Full Screen Color Profile Issues?

I'm running Yosemite now, but this has been an issue long before I upgraded from Mavericks as well. The default color calibration in OSX is overly bright and blown out on my monitor, so I have a custom calibration set up and in use on my Mac Mini. The profile I created looks great for general viewing, movies or anything else I want to do.
However...there seems to be an issue with Quicktime in either the app itself or when playing a movie from my iTunes library. If I play a movie in a window there are no issues, but the problem comes when I play a video in full screen mode. The color calibration looks just fine UNTIL the play controls automatically disappear from the screen. That's when it seems to go back to the default color profile that's blown out and muddy looking. Move the mouse so the controls come back up, color profile goes right back to the one I have set....until they go off the screen again, when the default profile is back.
Anyone else experiencing this and maybe found a workaround or way to fix it? I've found a couple mentions of it on the web in forums, but no answers or even replies were ever given.

Me too and it's very annoying. Exactly the same symptoms of the colour changing when the fullscreen controls disappear.
I've used a colormunki to create a custom profile for my monitor for photoshop use. Has everyone else done something similar?
I created the profile before Mavericks & Yosemite updates so I might try deleting it and creating a new one to see if that helps.

Quicktime in full screen

Hi i'm new to mac. owner of a imac I'd like to know how to get quicktime to play in full screen mode without buying the pro version.

Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and run the following:
tell application "QuickTime Player"
set bounds of window 1 to {10, 10, 1024, 768}
end tell
The numbers represent the location of the top left corner and bottom right corner of the window respectively.

Export iMovie to Quicktime - too long?

I have an iMovie project that is pretty long and detailed with titles, music, etc. (length: 1:00:26:17). It is currently very choppy, the audio is clear, but the visual lags behind. I think this is simply because iMovie is just not built to handle this length and complexity. I would like to export this project as it is, with no further editing, to Quicktime. I plan to create a second iMovie project, then export that to Quicktime. Then I will take both Quicktime files and import them back into a 3rd iMovie project so I can combine the two movies into one bigger one and eventually move over to iDVD. My question is: Since my current iMovie project is choppy and does not play with fluidity, is there going to be a problem exporting to Quicktime?

The playback issue could be hard drive space. Do you have lots, at least 25GB free? Why not just go ahead and try the export and see how it comes out?

Dock shows up after 20min when quicktime in full screen

After installing Leopard now the dock shows up after approximately 20 min when playing in full screen mode..... What I did was to put the dock in auto-hide, but it is still quite annoying to be changing it back and forth.
Is this happening to everyone?

Well, if I find the solution I'll be posting it here.... So far this is the worse OS X ever released, I've had problems from the beginning (installing to a RAID) and I am still having problem with applications randomly crashing after Cmd-Q...... But anyways even if the features are not worth the problems, they were worth the upgrade
Good luck

Exporting iMovie to Quicktime

I am trying to export from iMovie and I am getting a message "The movie could not be sent to QuickTime, because a file coudn´t be found." If also recomends to change the name of the iMovie pug-in folder to iMovie0. I followed the instructions but it didn´t work.
What can I do to correct this?
