How to make a Quicktime 7 video open in the center of the screen. Answered!

I open a Quicktime video and then noticed that the video didn't open in the top left top corner of the screen, like they usually do. So I placed the video in the center of the screen and did a SAVE, then closed the video. When I the video opened again it open to where I placed the video, the center. Then I placed the video on my second screen, center. Did a save and then close the video. When I reopened the video it open on the second screen centered....................! I don't know if this happens because of my OS (10.5.8) or Quicktime 7.6.4. But it works!!! People have been asking for years how to open a Quicktime video in the center of the screen. But there hasn't been an answer or a fix on how to do this, until now...! If you do a SAVE AS you can't over write the video you need to rename the video.
Footnote: If you do a SAVE to Quicktime video. The video will lose the FAST START feature. If you need the fast start feature you need to do a SAVE AS. SAVE AS places the fast start feature back into the video. Fast start is used for videos that are posted on the internet.

Hi there
What version of Captivate?
Typically there is an option to click just to the right of where you type the URL.
Below is an image of the version 5 properties.
Cheers... Rick

  • How to make movies open in the center of my screen.

    Does anyone know how to make Quicktime open up videos in the center of a screen? When I double click any movie file it pops open in the uppermost far left corner, and I have to drag it down into a more comfortable area. It's annoying with a large monitor.
    Thanks

    The script writing lobe of my brain was damaged by years of drug abuse, years ago. Try as I might, I can't seem to get it right.
    The most common error I get is:
    Expected end of line, etc. but found “end tell”.
    I tried modeling one of any number of existing scripts but still no dice.
    I tried this:
    tell application "QuickTime Player"
    activate
    set the bounds of window 1 to {235, 58, 944, 590}
    end tell
    And got this error message: QuickTime Player got an error: NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4
    I know this is simple but, like I said...

  • How to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

    how to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

    I note from your system details that you have the plugin for adobe pdf s so I would have expected the files should open in firefox '''without''' you needing to explicitly download them.
    Once the files are open in firefox, you will also get the option to save them permanently to a location on your computer. If you wish I suppose you could set the file type pdf to be associated with and be opened by firefox instead of with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, but that would just seem to be an additional complexity.

    How can I get iTunes to open to Library instead of the iTunes Store.  It does it on one of my computers, but I don't know how I did it.

    For me, iTunes always opens to whatever I had selected previously when it was closed.
    In other words, if I had Apps selected when I closed iTunes, the next time I opened iTunes it would be on Apps.

  • I opened my brand new MacBook Pro the other day and noticed a straight green line from top to bottom near the center of the screen. What is it from and how do I get rid of it????

    I am having a problem with my brand new MacBook Pro. After opening my laptop the other day I noticed a straight green line from top to bottom near the center of the screen. What is this from and how do I get rid of it? It is most annoying. Please Help!

    "What is this from and how do I get rid of it?"
    Such symptoms bode serious hardware issues and you shouldn't think about fixing it yourself when you are still in waranty. Get to an Apple Store, like the other poster suggests.

    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...

  • How do i get the preloader to stay in the center of the screen.

    im trying to get my preloader to stay in the center of the screeen. So that when I change the screen resoultioon from 1920x1080 to 1360x768 to preloader stays centerd instead of off screen.

    Hi Sabermaster,
    Here are 3 example
    http://dealsdrizzle.com/preload_stage_center/type1.html
    http://dealsdrizzle.com/preload_stage_center/type2.html
    http://dealsdrizzle.com/preload_stage_center/type3.html
    Download link
    http://dealsdrizzle.com/preload_stage_center/preload_stage_center.zip
    Please note that in some cases i have set the stage to 100% and in some in px.
    Case 1 - In this I have set the position of loading image of the preloader in % and stage as 100%. You can see that the image is almost in center.. but not exactly.. resize the window and see the error magnify with higher screen resolutions.
    Case 2 - In here I have made a little modification to the type2_edgePreload.js file
    I have added these line in there somewhere. (inside type2_edgePreload.js file)
    pow = (window.innerWidth)/2;
    poh = (window.innerHeight)/2;
    preloaderImgHeight = 18; //Add your Image height here manually everytime once you are done finally with your entire composition else edge will change this file again when you save
    preloaderImgWidth = 62; //Add your Image Width here manually
    rect:[pow-(preloaderImgWidth/2),poh-(preloaderImgHeight/2),'62px','18px','auto','auto'],
    this keeps the preloader image centered to the page... resize the window to different sizes and compare.. It will be exactly in the middle.
    Case 3 - In advancement to Case 2 - I have added these statements in compositionReady event of stage.
    sym.$("Stage").css('margin','auto');
    sym.$("Stage").css('position','relative');
    sym.$("Stage").css('left','0');
    This centers the stage.. (For this case refer to type3_edgePreload.js; which is same as type2_edgePreload.js)
    Remember - if you open the compostion in edge the changes made to edgePreload.js will be reverted.
    If you happen to revert these files by any chance. Close Edge. Make changes to edgePreload.js file and open the .html file directly to see the result.
    I hope this helps.

  • How do I stop Preview printing things in the center of the paper?

    Preview always insists on printing things in the center of the paper, which is handy when I'm printing, say, a paper-page document, but when I'm printing images or PDF's less than the full paper size, the result is a big waste of paper, especially when I have to print out multiple documents. The only workaround to my knowledge is to throw all my documents into Pages and arrange and print them from there, but come on—that isn't an acceptable solution. This is a problem I would expect to find in Windows. Anyone know how to change this?

    One action that you can follow is to open an image in Preview and set to show the Thumbnails. You can then drag some other images that you want to print into the Thumbnail bar. If you then select to print and with the Show Details view selected, choose the Layout menu and set the Pages Per Sheet menu to 2 or 4 or 6 (depending on the number of images you have to print) then this will print all of these images on a single page.
