QuickTime Player 10.x: View movies at full screen and other sizes
In QuickTime Player, you can set a movie’s size so that it completely fills the screen. You can also set a movie to play at other sizes that best fit how you want to watch the movie. To get started, open your movie in QuickTime Player.
-
Enter Full Screen: The movie is displayed as large as possible and no other windows, the menu bar, or controls are visible. To show the controls, move the mouse. To exit full-screen mode, press Escape.
-
Actual Size: The movie is not scaled larger or smaller. It is displayed at 100% of its source size, or as close as possible to 100% for the size of the screen you’re using.
-
Fit to Screen: The movie is scaled as large as possible to fit your display, without distorting or hiding any content. Other windows and the menu bar remain visible.
-
Fill Screen: The movie is scaled and cropped to completely fill your screen in at least one dimension. This can eliminate black areas on the top (letterboxing) or side (pillarboxing) but may hide or distort the content. This option is available only in full-screen mode.
-
Panoramic: The movie is scaled to fit your screen and the outer horizontal edges are compressed to avoid cropping the image. This option is available only in full-screen mode.
