Mac OS X Script: Get Full-Screen Quicktime for Free, No Pro Upgrade Needed

edited January 2007 in conversations
techpwn.comI have been using a script for awhile now that lets me go into full screen mode with Quicktime even know I don’t have a Quicktime Pro subscription. As most of you know, the basic Quicktime (the one that comes on OS X) does not allow the user to enter into full screen mode unless they upgrade to the Pro version which is $29.99. However, there is a very quick and easy way around this that will let you enter full screen mode without dishing out the 30 bucks. Here is how you do it…

1. Launch Apple Script Editor
2. Enter this exactly as follows…

tell application “QuickTime Player”
present front movie scale screen
end tell

3. Save the script as an application (I save it as “full screen” and just keep it on my desktop).
4. Open the movie you want to view in full screen in Quicktime and then double-click on the apple script application you created.
5. Enjoy
