Is there a quick way to open a resident video in fullscreen mode?

Short and not-so-simple, I have a client who requires the following:
Starting from the home screen, he wants the shortest number of taps to open a video (resident on the device) in fullscreen mode. Ideally, I wanted to have a "shortcut" on his home screen that opens a directory on his iPad that contains videos. Unfortunately, iOS does not allow for this. In fact, finding resident files on the HDD at all doesn't seem so easy.
For now, I have him going to his camera, switching to video, and then opening the Video Roll to access videos I've downloaded to his iPad from various sources like email attachments or download links. This is definitely not a long-term solution.
To clarify, the client needs to be able to bring up one of several videos near-instantly, with no buffering and in many cases without an active internet connection. He wants his iPad to be a video gallery, with "a two-click process." Someone (such as myself) would be syncing/uploading the videos as they are created, updated, or replaced, so getting videos onto his iPad easily and remotely (if possible) is also a desire (Dropbox or iTunes?).
Can someone please give me some advice? I am an idiot with iOS, as I spend all of my time on Android devices.

Is this a cpvc or a cptx file, when you talk about 'video'?

  • Is there a way to open photoshop cs6 in 32-bit mode on a windows 7 64-bit system.

    I was wondering if there is a way to open photoshop cs6 in 32-bit mode on a windows 7 64-bit system, because photoshop won't recognize the pen pressure on my graphics tablet (yiynova msp19u) I read that some users got it to work in 32-bit mode on macs, and all my other programs like zBrush, art rage, sketch book pro recognize the pen pressure on the tablet.

    well I am going to assume that the application marked photoshop is the 32-bit application, since the other on is marked 64-bit and I don't see one 32-bit. in any case it still not recognizing pen pressure and i have the newest drivers. The only thing I can think of now is that wacom drivers are interfering with it some how since they don't get along, although I was pretty sure i got rid of all wacom software.
    Sigh, it's starting to look like I have to format my computer

    Just the regular way. Take the photo and then open the Messages app and select that photo and send it. That does not seem hard.

    Hello, Gazzlaa84.
    You can import your media a couple different ways.  If you plan on keeping the media on the external drive, I would just direct iTunes to read the media folder on the external.  Here are the steps on how to make that change.

    Okay so I'm trying to download Adobe Flash Pro. I've gone to creative cloud and downloaded "Flash Professional CC and Mobile Device Packaging (2014)" and I have no idea what to do afterwards... There's no way to open or run the file. And to be honest, I'm not even sure if it's the right download... Help!

    I'm using PC with Windows 8.1. I got onto the Creative Cloud and downloaded "Flash Professional CC and Mobile Device Packaging (2014)". <--- That would be the file. I can't open or run it from CC and I couldn't find a file in my computer either.
    I've also found direct downloads for the trial version and hit the set-up button, it loads up, and then nothing happens.

    You can restore your iPad with your iPhone backup but items that are iPhone only will not transfer.  It should recreate all your folders.  It can't hurt anything to try.

  • Is there a quick way to convert Albums to Projects?

    Due to bringing in legacy organizing from iView MediaPro into Aperture years ago... I have an organizational structure consisting of few top level Projects containing many Albums. I now realize I should have few top level Folders containing many Projects (which contain Albums when necessary).
    So the question is... is there a quick way to convert an Album to a Project? If I have to create a new Project for each Album I have by hand... this will take forever as I have hundreds of Albums.
    Thanks!

    Doing it manually is what I'm trying to avoid... I have a LOT of albums. I started trying to script it but I am trying to piece it together with my uber limited applescript knowledge... here's what I've got:
    tell application "Aperture 3"
    set imgSel to (get selection)
    if imgSel is {} then
    error "Please select an image."
    else
    set pName to name of parent of item 1 of imgSel
    set pID to id of parent of item 1 of imgSel
    set cID to id of parent of parent of item 1 of imgSel
    tell library "Aperture Library"
    make new project with properties {name:pName}
    repeat with i from 1 to count of imgSel
    move item i of imgSel to project (pName)
    end repeat
    end tell
    end if
    end tell
    It's ghetto (there's some stuff I need to comment out that wasn't used) and it seemed to work in the test library I setup, but when I went back there were some weird thumbnail issues so I'm scared... not to mention it doesn't seem to work in the actual library for some reason. It won't create the new project. Weird.

  • Is there a quick way to replace entire sets of styles?

    I am currently working on updating InDesign templates that the rest of our team use to start translating different versions of our books.  In the template we have the guides and text boxes all created as well a sets of styles to use..  (Headers, Body, Captions..etc).
    They started on an older version of this template and I've just updated it by re-defining all the styles.  Is there a way I can replace a document's styles with an entirely new set?
    The styles are all named the same from the previous versions - but currently I still have to go delete each style and apply the 'new' style - one by one.  This takes a while when we have nearly 100 styles.  Is there a quicker way to do this?  Or am I looking at this whole template thing wrong?
    Is there a tutorial or a video explaining the philosophy behind these templates?  Basically, we create new books or documents all the time and although they go to different typesetters, I would like them all to use the same 'standard' styles.

    When you load styles that have the same names you should get a dialog that lets choose whether to update the existing style with the incoming style or rename the incoming:

  • Is there a quicker way to hide file extensions on multiple files.

    So, there's the real filename (visible in Terminal) and then the displayed name in Finder and some other applications such as Front Row. Well, I'm using Front Row and I would like my AVI files to display just the name of the movie - not the full filename.
    OS X allows me to change each file individually to hide the extension (either by renaming it in Finder or by checking 'hide extension' in the file's info box) and also allow the whole curtain to be pulled back via a setting in Finder's preferences. But there doesn't seem to be a way to hide the extensions of a particular bunch of files en masse.
    What I would like to know is: Is there a quicker way to do this for all my AVI files? There doesn't seem to be an Automator task that will change file properties (other than permissions). Is there a way I could do it at the command line perhaps? I'm fairly handy with Unix shell scripts and Perl - I'm just relatively new to OS X, that's all.

    The basic mechanism is to select all the files you wish to change then hold down the OPTION key and select Show Inspector from the Finder's File menu. Check the box to hide extension. This will set the preference for all selected files.
    If your files are scattered all over the place, then use the Finder's Find function to find all files with the extension attribute you want, then save the result as a Smart Folder. Then select all files in the Smart Folder you created and do the above.

  • Is there a quick way to get email addresses from Mail into Address Book?

    I would like to collect the email addresses that pop up when I start to type email addresses into the "To" area and transfer them into my Address Book, but have no idea where they are stored. Is this possible and if so is there a quick way to do it.
    Thank you

    I think I figured it out... I went into Apple Mail > Window > Previous Recipients and now im adding the ones not in my address book into my address book.
    It seems relatively easy... Apple, this is why I love you.

    Dear Support team,

    best regards

    For the record, this is a user-to-user support forum. You aren't actually addressing Apple.
    I'm not clear what you are trying to do, but Numbers will open a CVS file adn will export to CVS (as well as Page, Numbers, and PDF) using the document function (looks like a box with an arrow; upper left). If this isn't what you are looking for, perhaps you could provide a bit more detail.
