The Fullscreen Player

 
 
 

The fullscreen Player occupies the entire screen (the taskbar is also hidden) and is available from any Player view, as well as from the mini-Player.

When you enter the fullscreen Player, it plays the composition or media forward from the frame at which you entered the fullscreen Player.

The fullscreen Player

The fullscreen Player occupies the entire screen and does not, by default, display any Player controls. You can access the Player controls by displaying the Player options from within the fullscreen Player (go through the south gate). The Player controls appear at the bottom of the Player options. You use them as you would in the Player view—see Using the Player Controls.

You can also use the Player hotkeys to navigate frames, set in and out marks, set a region of interest, and so on—see Player Hotkeys.

Using the Fullscreen Player

You can enter the fullscreen Player from either the Player view or the mini-Player. If you enter the fullscreen Player from a Player view, you can add tools to the composition, either directly from the Views tab, or by dropping the view from the Views tab into the Schematic overlay. If you enter the fullscreen Player from the mini-Player, you can only access the Player options from the Gate UI.

To enter the fullscreen Player:

  1. In the playback controls, click the Fullscreen button or press F.

To exit the fullscreen Player:

  1. Press F.

To control the fullscreen Player:

  1. Press L to play forward, press L again to stop.
  2. Press J to play backward, press J again to stop.
Note When you enter fullscreen mode, the Player plays forward by default.

To add a tool to the composition in the fullscreen Player:

  1. In the fullscreen Player, middle-click or press the tilde key (~) to display the Gate UI and swipe east to display the Pick List, Tools, and Views tabs.
  2. In the Tools tab, drag the tool you want to add to the composition, and drop it in the fullscreen Player. A drop gate appears and you can specify where to add it in the dependency graph (the options that appear depend on the current tool node selected when you perform the drop).

To add a tool to the Schematic overlay in the fullscreen Player:

  1. In the fullscreen Player, middle-click or press the tilde key (~) to display the Gate UI and swipe right to display the Pick List, Tools, and Views tabs.
  2. In the Tools tab, drag the tool you want to add to the composition outside the Tools tab, but do not release it.
  3. Go through the north gate to display the Schematic overlay, and drop the tool in the position in the dependency graph you want it to occupy.

To Navigate Views:

  1. Press Ctrl + Tab.
