You can also set options for all movies playing at full screen. For example, you can hide
the movie controls, or change the amount of time they display before they hide. To set
these options in Mac OS X, choose QuickTime Player > Preferences and click Full
Screen. To set these options in Windows, choose Edit > Preferences >
Player Preferences, and then click Full Screen.
Note: As long as “Display full-screen controls” is selected in QuickTime Player
Preferences, you can make hidden controls appear by moving the pointer.
If you are authoring a movie, you can save it so that it always opens at full screen. For
information, see “Saving a Movie With Specific Playback Settings” on page 40.
Playing a Movie on a Second Display
With QuickTime Pro and a two-display setup with dual display support, you can play a
movie on one display while working in another application on the other display. This
arrangement is useful for presentations.
Mac OS X: Make sure Mirror Displays is not selected. (Open System Preferences, click
Displays, and click Arrangement. If you don’t see an Arrangement button, your
computer does not support this feature.)
Windows: Whether you can play a movie on a second display depends on your
computer and monitor. Open the Display control panel, click Settings, and make sure
that the second display is enabled. If it is not enabled, click it and make sure “Extend
my Windows desktop onto this monitor” is selected.
To play a movie on a second display:
1 Open a movie in QuickTime Player.
2 Choose View > Present Movie.
The two displays are shown side by side; one contains the menu bar. A “Q” appears on
the display on which the movie will play. To play the movie on the other display, click it.
3 Choose an option from the pop-up menu.
To play the movie without displaying the QuickTime Player controls, choose Full Screen.
4 Select Movie or Slideshow mode.
In slideshow mode, you can advance frames by clicking the mouse or pressing the
Right Arrow or Left Arrow key.
5 Click Play.
You can open other applications while the movie is playing. To make another
application active, press Command-Tab (in Windows, Alt-Tab). You can now use the
mouse and keyboard in other applications while the movie continues to play.
