Boris and I were chatting in the park about Shynola’s wonderful video for Move Your Feet, and naturally when I got home I wanted to download it.
But lo! QuickTime 7.0.1 says you need to upgrade to QT Pro for �20 just to be able to view it full screen. Even if you shell out �20, it will attempt to smooth and anti-alias video when you enlarge it, which you really don’t want with a video like this. You want raw, nekkid pixels.
Anyway, I found a way of watching videos full screen (or nearly) for free.
Go to System Preferences > Universal Access.
Click Zoom on, click on Preferences and turn the zoom up to about 10x for the Shynola masterpiece. You can choose if you want smoothing or not (I don’t think QuickTime Pro even gives you the option!)
Back in QuickTime, put your cursor over the video and invoke Zoom by pressing apple-option-equals.
And don’t forget to Move Your Feet!
