Resizing the Movie Window

You can resize the Movie window by dragging its lower right corner.

Control-clicking the movie itself (the actual image) opens a shortcut menu, where you
can set various image formats.

You can also select one of the following:

 Original Size: Displays the movie in its original size.
 Fullscreen: Expands the Movie window to fill the full screen.
 Keep Aspect Ratio: If enabled, the proportions of the image are retained when

resizing the Movie window.

 Center: Choosing this option places the video image in the center of your screen.

Using the Video Track

The global Video track displays the loaded QuickTime movie as thumbnails. If the Video
track is not visible, see “

Showing and Hiding Individual Global Tracks

” on page 77.

The number of frames displayed in the Video track depends on the track height, and
the zoom level of the window. All frames are aligned left, with only the very last frame
aligned to the right. This guarantees that you can always see at least the first and last
frames of a video, independent of the current zoom level. Given the left alignment of
frames, the left margin of a frame will always be displayed at the exact position of that
particular frame (except the very last frame in the movie).
