20 Chapter 1 Using QuickTime Player
Changing Movie Size for Playback
QuickTime Player includes several options for changing movie playback size. QuickTime
Pro provides additional playback options, such as setting the screen so that only the
movie, and not the QuickTime Player window or any other windows, or the desktop, is
visible. This is called “full-screen mode.”
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).
With QuickTime Pro, you can also view movies at full screen. For more information, see
“Viewing Movies at Full Screen” on page 22.
Looping a Movie
You can play a movie repeatedly. When the movie finishes, it automatically starts
playing again.
To loop a movie:
m Choose 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:
 Double-click another movie file.
 Choose 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 19.
