Full Screen Presentation

I have just produced a project in authorware incorporating
flash animation and video clips. I made the mistake of when
creating this, of setting the presentation window size at 800 x 600
pixels. Unfortunately this does not play full screen on most
machines that it will be viewed on. The users are not able to
adjust the resolution of their monitors to allow this play
otherwise.
I have tried changing the presentation properties to full
screen and readjusting all my text, etc to fit, but when this now
plays it is nearly full screen but my project is showing in the top
left side of the window?!
I have read that you can put a script in to resize the
window, but i cannot get this to work unless the script info i have
is incorrect.
Please can anyone help me with this problem. Much
appreciated! Nina

1, Uncheck that silly Full Screen option. It does not do what
the name
suggests, and never has done.
2, Use center on Screen instead
3, Authorware cannot and will not rescale to fit your users'
screen
settings. If you want that kind of setting you should use
something other
than Authorware. Flash or Director are good choices for that.
If you still want to resize the window, then use the function
ResizeWindow,
but you will find that your content does not rescale, so you
will be back to
your content sitting top-left of the screen.
Finally, you can use the old workaround of utilizing Cover
u32 to cover the
are of the screen not used by your application. It will set
the rest of the
desktop to black, essentially framing your application. Check
your
Authorware CD for Cover.u32, where you will find an example
file too.

Video iChat for Full Screen presentation in dual-display mode

I plan on giving a presentation and want to use video iChat with a special effects background projected using dual display mode. I find that if I use video preview in iChat, that I can't enter full screen mode (this would look best when projected). It seems you can only enter full screen if connected to a buddy in iChat, which I don't want for the presentation.
Any thoughts on how to accomplish this, or maximize the appearance?
Thanks.

Hi,
You want the Flipped pic that iChat gives you but using the Preview only as you do not require an actual chat to make a Presentation.
Ideally you would like that to be Full Screen but the Preview only does not do full screen.
Adding a second Screen in the form a Projector and mirroring is possible.
This of course would allow you present a "Live Feed" as it were.
Do you gave Quicktime Pro ?
This allows you to set a window to Full Screen even if not actually recording, but shows what the camera sees. (albeit not Flipped like iChat although iGasses can fix that.
I would also look at some of the options on this page

Non-Full Screen Presentation with Keynote?

Does anyone know if it's possible to run a Keynote presentation not in full screen mode?
I have a couple of kiosk displays that I'd like to display Keynote presentations along side some data feeds and real-time information from other apps. Do you know if you can display a presentation say in a single window? (and not the full screen?) I'm guessing not, but I figured I'd ask.
Thaks for the help!
Mike

Can't use external monitor as default monitor for full-screen settings

Hey guys,
I have been trying to get quicktime to let me use my external monitor as the full-screen monitor. Every time I go into full-screen, it reverts back to my MBP screen.
I cannot seem to find this option even in the fullscreen preferences. Rather than having an option I can click on (like I've seen in pictures), it just says "Movie Size." I have Quicktime Pro 7.5.5 and I am running Leopard.
Any ideas? I can play most of my movies on VLC, but since I paid for Pro it would be nice if I can get it to work on my external monitor.

I have to say, I am in exactly the same place ppshr150 is. I have checked both Quicktime and Quicktime Player preferences and the option to choose a default screen for full-screen presentation of movies does not exist.
I can drag movies over to the second monitor and then press Command F and they will play there but from a presentation perspective, this is rather unprofessional.
It surprises me that Apple does not have this option. Or is it a bug they haven't/won't fix?

How Can I set QT to open ALL files in Full Screen Automatically?

Am I missing something obvious here, or is this a major option missing in preferences of QT? I know that you can set this option for EACH movie in the Presentation tab in the movie's Properties, but I have 1000's of clips on my computer. I just want EVERY movie to automatically open up in full screen mode. This seems like it should be an obvious universal option for QT rather than handled individually for each file (with the option to over ride it per file if you wish for some reason).
Plus setting the option per file is not even practical, because in order to save that option in a file that is not .mov file QT wants to convert it to .mov and save copy of the file...

I am still pretty sure, say 95%, (do not recall perfectly - to many things on my mind... hihi) that the settings in Quicktime in the Preferences DID work before.
QT Player "Preference" settings only control how the content is displayed in the "Full Screen" mode -- not how it is activated. Pop-up options include:
1) Half Size,
2) Actual Size,
3) Double Size,
4) Fit to Screen,
5) Fill Screen,
6) Panoramic, or
7) Current Size
The options are available individually for "widescreen", "standard", or "other" aspect movie formats. The only other method of I can think of using the QT Player to automatically open in the the "Full Screen" presentation mode would be using a QTL file linked to your original source file but it setting the "Full Screen" option is "boring" for you, then creating QTL files would be even more so.

Acrobat XI full screen mode: how to hide the window control frame

i mainly use Acrobat to prepare full screen presentations and training, and it is annoying not being able to hide the window control
i previous versions the window control frame was always hidden / please bring this option back

Thanks, but my ID CS6 is already set to open as a "normal window". What I'm trying to resolve is the sizing and positioning of that "normal window".
I found one older post (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4609791) from someone who has the same problem, and it looks as if their question was never resolved, either. I haven't tried the script mentioned in the other message that has a link from that one. Btw, I've never seen a Window > Application Frame option within InDesign CSx for Microsoft Windows.

Safari Full Screen Page Width Customization Feature Missing

Let me explain the title.
In the previous Safari version, when you were in Full Screen viewing mode, you were able to set the width of the webpage you're browsing by hovering the mouse on either left or right edge of the screen, then clicking and dragging the cursor towards the center to set the width for the webpage. Now, in the latest version, this feature seems to be gone.
Now, why would you need this feature, you ask? Simple: some webpages, such as Wikipedia, are coded to always use the browser's full viewing width, thus making the paragraphs really really wide. The problem is that the human eye will have dificulty reading those really wide lines of texts, especially if they're huge paragraphs. Narrower paragraph widths are much easier to read. You can actually test this by viewing a Wikipedia page NOT in the Full Screen mode by comparing a wide Safari window compared to a narrower one. (This is actually the reason why they use narrow text collumns in news papers; easier to read.)
Apple, PLEASE bring that feature back. I don't for the life of me understand why you keep making inferior upgrades to a lot of your products: the Preview app (no more loop when viewing pictures in Full Screen Presentation mode), MacBook Pro Retina & iMacs & Apple Cinema Displays (no Anti-GLARE option) …

I have to agree that it was a very useful feature.
A very smart browser it was...

Full screen YouTube videos halts MBP

When watching a YouTube video, going to full screen mode causes the machine to halt. MBP (late 2008, 2 Gb 2.4 Ghz dual core processor.) This happens in both Safari and Firefox. The display will go full screen, but the image is momentarily forzen, then the processor clicks off as though the power button had been held down for a few seconds. Playing videos full screen in Quicktime works just fine as does full screen presentation in Keynote and PowerPoint.
Restarting does not bring up a report-to-Apple window or other indication that an error had been detected or noted.

OK, I turned off all extensions, restarted Safari, the problem is still there.
I tried different videos and found that some work fine, others don't. So the issue must be something that is related to the type of video that is being played. Here's a YouTube video that has a problem in full screen mode . . . . it's the trailer for "Here Comes The Boom"

ISight Full Screen+Record

Hello
I wonder if I can show a full screen presentation live image from my MacBook isight cam (even if the quality is not ideal.) How do I do it ?
And can I record this "film" on the internal HardDisk?
How ?
Any suggestions ?
Yours
Sandeep
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hello Dozz,
And Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You can record "film" on your Mac by choosing iMovie, set the camera to iSight, and record away. It's that simple and easy.
For recording, I and many others use this:
http://www.ecamm.com/mac/conferencerecorder/
and you can "try before you buy" with the free demo.
And if you have the upgraded version of QuickTime Pro, you can record as well:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=QuickTime+Player/7.0/en/c2qt7.html
Or for full screen recording, try this one, SnapzProX found here:

Do post back and let us know what you ended up with or if you have more questions.
Respectfully,

Want Keynotes' presenter's display to be NOT in full screen

Hello,
I do live music shows on a Single MacBook Pro. Retina Display, Running 10.10.1
In my show I run Keynote for visuals (always on a secondary large TV via HDMI out) and I run Audio via MainStage from the Logic Suite.
I want to be able to exit work in MainStage, (switching songs, changing volumes etc.) WITHOUT interrupting Keynotes Video display or pictures, text, videos etc.
How can I do this.
The only way to play a slide show is to play it, and when it plays it automatically turns the presenter's display to full scree, thereby locking me out of access to MainStage, or any other software.
Any way to play a Keynote slide show NOT in full screen for the presenter's display????
please help.

When Keynote is in play, no other applications will be seen as Keynote takes over complete control of the graphics system, if you switch from Keynote to another application, Keynote will be hidden. Keynote has always worked this way.
We use two Macs to be able to display Keynote and a second application.

Can I display a Power Point presentation in full screen on an HP Pavilion g

I have a working Power Point presentation with an imbedded video, whic means I can not use Power Point "Show". Can I display a Power Point presentation in full screen on an HP Pavilion g? If so, how do I do it?

Hi,
On any machine, please try:
Click the "Options" tab on the PowerPoint toolbar,
then select "Play Full Screen" from the "Movie Options" group.
The "Options" tab is located directly underneath the "Movie Tools" button.
Regards.

How can I run a keynote presentation in full screen mode ?

How can I run a keynote presentation in full screen mode?

Keynote runs in full screen by default when you click the Play button in the toolbar. If you want the slides to fit the display area, check the box next to "Scale slides up to fit display" in Preferences...

Appearance on screen (via projector) when presenting - full screen or not?

How do I control / determine how keynote uses the "full screen" to run a presentation? I am anxious that when I have to run it through a projector it will appear too large or too small - any tips re using Keynote with a projector - as I have not done that yet but will have to soon.
Also - what does the slide size on the initial drop down box control? using this I can make the photos I bring in very large, but to large to be practical - what is the purpose of this sizing control?

<< How do I control / determine how keynote uses the "full screen" to run a presentation? I am anxious that when I have to run it through a projector it will appear too large or too small - any tips re using Keynote with a projector>>
Once the computer and projector are connected and operating, first go to System Preferences > Displays and click on the button "Detect Displays." This will show you the current settings for the resolution of both displays. Adjust these if/as necessary to produce a proper image on both your computer and the projector.
One useful tool to check and adjust these settings is to use a "test pattern" slide. You can find several from which to choose (and copy) by searching Google for the words "test pattern." (The old "Indian Head" test pattern is always fun.)
Next, if you will be using the projector for presentation to your audience and your computer display for your Presenter Notes, be sure that "Mirror Displays" is NOT checked in the System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement window.
Now, in the Keynote Preferences > Slideshow Preferences menu, check the box "Scale slides up to fit display." This will ensure that your slides fill the projection display properly. Then check the button "Present on Secondary Display" to assign your presentation to the projector and in the Keynote Preferences > Presenter Display Preferences menu check the box "Use alternate display to view presenter information; this will put the Presenter notes and cues onto your computer monitor.
You also might want to try checking all of the other boxes in this menu; the information this will put on your screen will be very helpful while making your presentation.
Good luck.

How to exit full screen mode while playing a presentation in Keynote '09

Hi, my question is: when I play a presentation it starts by default in full screen mode; I would like instead to see it in a little box, in order to be able to take notes on another file; how can I do that?

When playing Keynote will indeed take over the full screen -- there is no option for playing a presentation in a window. However, in the Preferences, under Slideshow, there is an option to enable Expose, which will allow you to switch between a running Keynote presentation and other applications.

Artefacts present in full screen mode

Hi guys,
I'm noticing that when I am in full screen mode (not the bi-directional arrow, present in some applications) that I sometimes see the bottom of my desktop background as an artefact in the application.
Has anyone else had this issue and do you know to fix it.
The laptop i'm using is the Mid 2012 Retina model.
Thanks

Why should you bother with troubleshooting. Your computer is still under warranty.
Call Apple Care and get a case number.
