10.4: Watch fullscreen QuickTime movies via Automator
Authored by: dbax on May 03, '05 02:15:52PM
You can use Automator with the script posted by guybrush to make yourself a little app that will tell Quicktime to go full screen. Here's how:

Create a new Automator workflow. Click on "Automator" in the Library column, then move the "Run AppleScript" action over to your workflow.

In your workflow, replace
(* Your script goes here *)
with:
tell application "QuickTime Player" to present movie 1
In the File menu of Automator, choose "Save As...". In the "File Format" dropdown, choose "Application", then save it someplace convenient.

Start up Quicktime with the movie you want to watch fullscreen, then run the app you created. Fullscreen!

You could use (after "Get Selected Finder Items")

on run {input, parameters}
	tell application "QuickTime Player"
		open input
		present movie 1
	end tell
end run
and make it an Automator Finder plugin.
