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’re displayed before being hidden. 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.

Changing Movie Size for Playback

QuickTime Player includes several options for changing movie playback size.

To change a movie’s playback size, choose View > [a size], or drag the resize control in the lower-right corner of the window. To stretch the movie in any direction, hold down the Shift key when you drag (holding down the Shift key while dragging doesn’t preserve the aspect ratio).

To return the movie to its default size and aspect ratio, press Command-1 (in Windows, press Alt-1).

You can also view movies at full screen, with additional sizing options available during full-screen playback. For more information, see “Viewing Movies at Full Screen” on page 19.

Looping a Movie

You can play a movie repeatedly. When the movie finishes, it automatically starts playing again.

To loop a movie:

mChoose View > Loop.

With QuickTime Pro, you can also play the movie forward and then backward repeatedly by choosing View > Loop Back and Forth.

Simultaneously Playing Multiple Movies

You can have more than one QuickTime Player window open at a time.

To open more than one QuickTime Player window, do one of the following:

ÂDouble-click another movie file.

ÂChoose View > Play All Movies.

By default, when you have more than one QuickTime Player window open, the audio plays only on the active (frontmost) QuickTime Player window. For information about changing this setting, see “Changing Playback Preferences” on page 18.
