I'd like to be able to export a sequence of graphics cells, typically 4 to 6 inches in size, from Mathematica into a QuickTime movie, using Mathematica Export or Save commands. When I do this at present, most of each graphic falls outside the fairly small QuickTime window that results. Is there a Mathematica default I can set to enlarge the QuickTime window into which the plots are exported? Or a "QuickTime editor" to enlarge the frame afterwards? (probably not, because the trimmed off portions are probably not even in the QT file) Or, what ImageSize, exactly, would I have to set in Mathematica to get the images down into the QT movie size? (probably a bad idea, because their resolution will probably come out very limited in the QT file) It should be possible to solve this problem, because there's a less convenient but very effective workaround I'm presently using. That is, Export the plots to individual EPS files on my HD; catalog the files with iView MediaPro; and make them into a QuickTime movie with large (near full screen) high-resolution frames using the very effective QuickTime movie-making command built into iView. (And iView also "flattens" the frames for multi-platform use in the movie-making process, which Mathematica doesn't.) -- "Power tends to corrupt. Absolute power corrupts absolutely."
