Hi there,

I'm trying to run a video from a macbook pro that'll be projected on a large screen through a projector. Anyway to run the video without seeing the controls on the large screen?

I was thinking about using quicktime.

Thanks!

Sure. Among several other methods:

1. Put the video on a slide in a slideshow.
2. Don't move the mouse while the video is playing.

Hmmm, the only issue will be that I have to start it on cue.

Thanks

In that case put it in a Keynote slide.

Righto, thanks.

I also found this today, could be a little overcomplicated for the job. None the less I think it'll do the job.

Another method:
1) keep the cursor outside the video frame
2) use the space bar to start and stop
