To do away with the top too, see http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/mediaskins.html
You need Quicktime Pro to do this i guess. Create an entirely black WinMask.gif and DragMask.gif the exact size of your movie and follow the rest of the tutorial, you oughto end up with sth like you see next to this mail on my desktop: http://www.vilt.net/nkdee/graphics/sondheimtech.jpg Disadvantage for performance: it gives you a white square when the film has done playing, making for a floodlight. You can avoid that only by hitting CTRL Enter in time (+ include sufficient black frames at the end of your movie) Alternetavely you could some soft/hard combinations like Pinnacle PCTV, that hides all frames except a 3 pixel border. The Pinnacle TV card also comes with a remote control which is handy on stage. But then you'd have to convert all your qt's to MPEG streams or AVI DV's. greetings, dv BTW the suzanne-graham was great! > -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- > Van: WRYTING-L : Writing and Theory across Disciplines > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens Alan Sondheim > Verzonden: maandag 20 maart 2006 20:42 > Aan: [email protected] > Onderwerp: Re: THE FIRST MOVIE and TECH QUESTION > > Was just thinking more about this.
