IMovie wont show preview in full screen?

Here's a screen capture of what I mean. I was messing with the settings one day and now my iMovie makes the file narrower and distorts the quality and makes it look pixelated. I just cant remember what I changed in my setting. Is there a way to restore my changes? Before when Id upload a file it would take up the entire preview box not leave bline lines on the sides. Help?

Try a different aspect ratio in the "General" tab of "Project Properties" in iMovie's "File" menu.

How do I show ratings in full-screen preview?

I'm new to Bridge, so I bet this falls into the new-user silly question category rather than a missing feature. How do I show ratings in full-screen preview?I touch the space bar to get the preview. If I touch a number 1-5, it adds that rating and a little oval box shows up in the lower left with the file name and the star rating. All very nice. Then if I scroll through my images, that same oval shows up for each image, with its respective rating. Again, nice. But each time I first enter full-screen preview, the oval is not displayed. How do I get it to show up, short of adding or modifying a rating? Surely there is some keystroke or gesture.

--- How very odd. So the only way I can see the ratings in full-screen preview is to take a potentially destructive action. Adding a rating destroys whatever rating might have already been there.
What I have done for a workaround is to re-rate an image to same value. If I start a sequence of full-screen preview display I'll look at the rating of the first image (one star, for instance) then when image is displayed full screen I'll re-rate it one star. Starts display of ratings in full screen without altering rating. Then, as you mention in OP, I can sequence through images in full screen view and rating will be displayed.

How do I get the titles to show when in full screen mode

Hi I'm having a hard with my title showing when in full-screen mode for imovie. It shows up on the edit screen but not in full screen. Why and how to I change it?

yours is showing all the time? mine only shows when my mouse is at the bottom of the screen.
However it also shows for me in non-fullscreen mode after i've switched to a different Space (in Leopard) and back. Have to go into fullscreen and then out of it to make it disappear.

Can I change the transition animation in Preview's full-screen mode?

When moving through a PDF file in Preview's full-screen mode, the pages slide off to the left/right when using arrow keys (up when using the space bar). I discovered that I can skip this animation by holding down the option key when I hit the arrow key, or by using a four-finger swipe. But I'd like to use my remote to advance pages in the PDF, and I'd like to get rid of the transition animations permanently. Is there a way to customize the transition animation preference? I don't see anything in the Preferences to do this.
Thanks in advance.

Just as an update, Ralph explained (here) that in Snow Leopard, the iChat application no longer gets it's speed values from QuickTime.

My After Effects re sized after a ram preview in full screen and is stuck like that.

My After Effects re sized after a ram preview in full screen and is stuck like that.even if I restart. I'm not able to acces any of the top tools.

What are the pixel dimensions of your monitor?
You can reset the workspace to its default by deleting your preferences folder.
Information on finding and deleting the preferences folder can be found here, in After Effects Help:

How do I get previews in full screen?

Bridge CC on MacBook Pro 15" Retina: How do I get previews in full screen? Images with a height of less than 2000 pixels do not fill the screen.

thanks Tom, well you are right, but because so much of Final Cut footage is played back in QT I almost think of it as an an appendage of the program. I can repost this, but do you know the answer?

Preview pdf full screen shows double pages after page 1

How can I get Preview to show single pages in fullscreen mode? It keeps showing the 2nd and 3rd page (and so on) of any pdf side by side on the screen. Single page display in a window works fine, but when swithcing to full screen it always displays it as a two-page layout.

I don't have CS4 but in CS3 I could get the same results as "use software rendering" as when I clicked on "restore down" (middle symbol in upper rt corner of windows screen) even though I enlarged the window to full screen.
In maximize window mode I had several problems with the preview without software rendering, and knew my video card was weak point. I know this is not the same issue but does not cost anything to try it. Don't know why it worked either.

Preview slide show-but not full screen?

Seems to me I recall seeing an option to NOT preview the slideshow full screen. But can't find it now. I would like to view the slide show while keeping Pages on screen so I can take notes. Is there any way to do that?
Thanks.

I had gathered that, so am I to assume that the answer to my original question is no; ''"Is there still a way to maximise the screen without it going into full screen mode?"''

Iphoto 09 8.1.2 stopped showing photos in full screen

I have the above-mentioned version on both my MAC and my MACBookPro. I have never had a problem with either. Suddenly, the version on my MACBookPro (which is using OS X 10.6.8) stopped showing my pics in the full screen mode. All I get, when double clicking a thumbnail, all of which show up great, is a black screen. I can see the thumbnails above the black screen, and I can even play the pics in a slide-show.
I have tried everything from rebuilding the library to creating a new library, to completely deleting both IPhoto Application and Library, going to my MAC, copying that version of IPhoto and it's library onto a disc and loading that onto my Pro. NOTHING WORKS! I have tried everything I've seen on the web, You-Tube, and of course the Apple Support, which is usually the worst of the lot in terms of supplying information. I have searched Google to no avail. Apple seems to all but have foresaken this version, in favor of it's new ILife program, IPhoto 11, which I see is also having major difficulties.
Is there no one out there who has the slightest idea why this program, only on my Pro, is doing this? I just looked at my pics again on my MAC and that sucker is working like a charm. I don't even see a good IPhoto alternative out there to download.
HELP!

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Imovie app doesn't export full screen?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!

when ever i make a vid in imovie and export it it comes out tiny?
this is my video show you
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqgoBHs7rXU
its really f*ing annoying

Did anyone even watch the video the user posted? It's the way the app handles videos shot in portrait mode. Rather than exporting them full screen it effectively rotates the video and adds black bands on each side to make the portrait video a landscape video when it is exporting it. It is a pain because that means you must shoot every video in landscape mode to take advantage of the full 720p HD. There is no excuse for it and it should be able to create the videos full screen regardless of orientation.

How to show dock in full screen mode

Hello,
I'm wondering how to get the dock to show up temporarily in full screen mode. When I place my cursor near the bottom of the screen in a full screen app, the dock doesn't pop up. Is this normal and if so, how do I switch between full screen apps without using gestures on the mouse? I'm really hoping that this is a bug.
Thanks

Alternatively you can use the same principle anywhere on the screen, you do not have to scroll to the bottom. Simply move the cursor to the screen edge where your dock is then move the cursor the same direction again. You do have to briefly pause between the two movements but you can do this anywhere the dock is located, it does not have to be at one position on the screen. That should speed things up a bit and prevents the dock from appearing by inadvertently scrolling to the side or the bottom.
If you can, get a Magic Trackpad, Lion navigation works very well with one of these, I think that the days of the mouse are numbered. The numbers of gestures available with the Magic Trackpad is extensive in Lion.

Preview in full screen?

I swore not that long ago, when I previewed an iDVD project I had made, it went to full screen.. Not it doesn't.. is there a toggle, because I don't see one.

Hi hupjack,
Sorry, no iDVD window can be resized. Are you mistaken with Apple DVD Player which can be full screen?

Preview.app Full screen annoyance

I really like the full screen mode to read documents. There's one problem which
I found really irritating. Here it is:
1. On page 1 of a pdf file, I move to fullscreen
2. I read on to page 50 say in full screen
3. Now I want to mark up something, so I exit full screen by pressing escape
4. But this lands me back to page 1 !?
Is there a fix for this? I am considering moving to Acrobat which works all right, but wanted to
check if the preview can be made to work before I do that.
THanks.

I did not find the escape key to do anything.
1. On page 1 of a pdf file, I move to fullscreen
Do you click the green ( + ) button top left? Works for me.
2. I read on to page 50 say in full screen
OK I go to page 20 (short document)
3. Now I want to mark up something, so I exit full screen by pressing escape
I simply press the green ( - ) button
4. But this lands me back to page 1 !?
Not me, I am still on the page 20.
