Probabally old question, but why can't I get Full Screen?

Hi, I have the latest Quicktime, upgraded to Quicktime Pro...installed and registered but still no full screen. At Best I can few 3/4 screen. What do I need to do to fix? My old Windows Media was a true full screen....Is Apples? Thanks, Bill

As they say in the movies, "What we have here is a failure to communicate." Or, in this case, a simple problem of semantics. If you are asking if there is a QT Player setting that will "automatically" scale both height and width of your movie to the size of your monitor screen, then the answer is "no, not unless the aspect ratio of both your screen and your movie happen to be exactly the same." What you do have is:
1) Full Screen - display of movie without contol planel centered to monitor screen with non-display areas (if any) rendered as a user selectable solid color. Default size of movie area can be set using the "Prefeence" option to Half, Actual, Double, Full Screen (i.e., scaled), and Current.
2) Presentation - display of movie in "Full Screen" mode with the option to temporariy modify the default display size.
3) Half Size - movie displayed in control panel at one half the "normal" size.
4) Actual Size - movie displayed in control panel at "normal" size.
5) Double Size - movie displayed in control panel at twice the "normal" size.
6) Fit to Screen - movie displayed in control panel with height of control panel scaled to height of screen less menu bar or width of control panel scaled to width of screen depending on which dimension requires the lesser amount of scaling.
What you don't have is a "Zoom" mode in which the lesser relative dimension is scaled the the associated screen dimension with excess display area "cropped" from screen. However, if you are not a "purist" you can always "simulate" either the "zoom" option or a true "fill" screen option. To do this, simply
a) open the "Show Movie Properties" window
b) set the video track display setting shorter relative dimension to the associated monitor display dimension with "Preserve Aspect Ratio" option selected to simulate a "cropped/zoom" screen display or
c) set the height and width of the video track display setting to exactly match you monitor display setting with the "Preserve Aspect Ratio" option deselected to simulate a "fill" screen display
If you wish to preserve your movie settting for quick and easy viewing at a later time, then add the following steps:
d) select the main movie track
e) set the "Automatically Play" option under the "Presentation" tab to auto play the movie when opened
f) set the "Enter full screen" option under the "Presentation" tab to hide the menu bar when playing
g) save the movie as a reference movie in the same drive location and do not delete or move the orginal file
Now you can view the "fill" or "zoom" version of your movie whenever you wish by simply double-clicking the reference movie icon. Hope that helps.

    Why can't I get full screen from my ipad to Apple TV?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Mirroring won't fill the TV screen. The iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3 and the iPhone 4S or prior an aspect ratio of 3:2, neither of these will fit exactly into a TV screen which as an aspect ratio of 16:9. The Apple TV will not zoom the mirrored image, because it may well cut off information which is situated at the top or bottom of the screen.

  • Why can't i use full screen on netflix?

    With Firefox, using my MacBook Pro (3 weeks old)I cannot go to full screen when running a movie on Netflix. It worked fine on my older MacBook Pro.The screen goes dark after 2 attempts.
    However I can go to full screen on Netflix using Safari.

  • Why can't I get wide screen when burning a dvd?

    My sequence is all 1920x 1080 HD footage in mpeg2. My photos are all 1920 x1080 px. In encore if I want to burn a standard DVD it automatically goes to 720x480 if I choose " mpeg2dvd" format. Why isn't there a wide screen mpeg2 dvd format?

    Colin, what you show is the  dialog box when I do file> export media, right? Except mine is different (Pr 5.5 iss different?) and has a check box for "match source attributes" and when that is checked the format box is grayed out.  And I don't see where you can customize anything.
    What's the purpose of File>export media if it doesn't create a dvd?
    If i do File> dyn link> send to encore there is no dialog box like you showed. it doesn't give any choices except dvd or blu ray and no "wide screen".
    Are you all saying that 720x480 is all you get on a dvd and if your source is 16x9 it will squish it to fit? aren't hollywood dvd's in 16x9?

  • Silly question but why can't I see my rejected images

    I'm sure there's a really easy solution to this. When I reject an image with an 'x' it disappears from my viewer. I know it's still in the same project because I can see it in the 'Rejected' project folder and check its master location. What I want to do is look at my rejects alongside my other rated images in the same project. Is there a quick filter option I've clicked without realizing?
    Thanks in advance...

    Another approach is to set up a Smart Album with Rating is X (slider to left) selected; then you can look at your rejects anytime.
    To make the point even clearer, you can name the album "Rejects [Rating = X]" or similar.

  • Why can't I get my screen back when it goes to sleep?

    I Have my 17" Macbook Pro (mid-2011) set to have the screen and backlit keyboard turn off after 15 minutes of inactivity, however at least half the time when I come back to use it again and I hit the trackpad or a random key to "wake it up", the backlit keyboard will light up again, but the screen won't come back on...it just stays black and I cant do anything. I have to hold the power button (HATE doing that too) and turn it back on that way....is there a fix for this at all?

    I have been having the same problem with my MacBook Pro -2010 though. It just started a few weeks ago; can't seem to get the to screen stay on long enough to log back in; it goes back to black within seconds. I have tried all the different buttons; esc works sometimes after holding the power button down for a few seconds.  Eventually the log in screen [or the screen I was at when I closed the top] will come back on.
    I hope I can find the answer to this as I can't afford a new machine right now. Besides, it's only a year old but out of warranty.

  • May Be Old question but undo not available in Acrobat X Standard

    This maybe a tired old question but I can not find a straight forward answer. In Acrobat X standard, I have some large pdf's that I created by merging many smaller PDF files together that were MS Word files converted to PDF. When I want to update something I go back to the orginal Word Doc and edit, resave as pdf then I replace the page with the new PDF. Once in a blue moon I screw up and replace the wrong PDF page (it happens). But lo and behold no UNDO, I don't get it, in Acrobat 9 it worked but I had the professional version of that. I had not saved the file or anything, so why no undo? Is it because I have the standard version?
    If I edit the PDF file with the text editor then the undo function lights up but I would think something as simple as a page replacement should be able to undo as long as you have not saved it?

    If the plug-in is not even loaded, chances are that something goes wrong
    when the OS tries to link the plug-in to dynamic libraries. Verify that you
    have all the libraries installed that are required to run the plug-in.

  • Can't get full screen in QT 7 Pro

        I cannot get true full screen in QT 7 Pro in Panther on my 15" PB. I select full screen and select present movie but still get top menu (and dock but I can hide that). Full screen is selected in preferences too.
    Any ideas.
    ETA - Okay now I see I just can't get rid of the menu bar when I have my projector hooked up to the PB. What's up with that?

    Most movies are 4:3 aspect and your Powerbook screen is not.
    Try Command-3 (while in full screen mode) when the file is opened as it will maximize to your screen height.

  • My old appleID use email with domain already deactivate. So I changed my appleID and primary email and now I can not access iCloud with iOS7. ICloud shows my old appleID but I can't change it. How do I get iCloud to work with my updated ID?

    Hi ccharat,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you did a good job editing your Apple ID and primary email address, but you didn’t sign out of iCloud on your iOS device before hand. What you may need to do in this situation is go back to the Apple ID website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the email address that is signed in with iCloud (there is no need to verify the account after editing it back to the old account, just changing it back is enough). Once your Apple ID is back to the original account, delete the iCloud account from the iOS device and be sure to keep all info on the device when prompted. After you delete the iCloud account, go back to the website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the new address. Once it is back to the account you would like, you can sign into the iCloud on the iOS device with that new account and merge all of the data when prompted. Please use the following article as a reference.
    iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5223
    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    I hope this helps,

  • This is probably a dumb question, but I can't find an answer. How do I make the text on my calendar larger so I can actually read it when I print it out?

    This is probably a dumb question, but I can't find an answer. How do I make the text on my calendar larger so I can actually read it when I print it out? I am using a MacBook.

    Press "Command P" and when the Print dialogue box comes up, towards the bottom there is an option allowing you to choose the text size, i.e: small, med, large.
    Hope this helps,
