OS X Tip #133
If you have video that can be played in QuickTime you can easily make your movie your Mac’s screen saver.

Here’s how:
Download the free SaveHollywood application.

SaveHollywood
Click for a larger view.

Add the movie or movies to SaveHollywood’s playlist. Just follow SaveHollywood’s instructions.

With SaveHollywood:

  • You can now play Flash animation as a screensaver.
  • You can use this screensaver to display Marketing material and switch back to Mac OS X with the move of a mouse.
  • It can be a solution to watch QuickTime movies fullscreen.

Features:

  • You can either select a file or a directory to watch. If you select a file, the movie will loop. If you select a directory, files within this directory will be played sequentially.
  • You can also select multiple files and/or directories.
  • You can display a Movie in its actual size or make it sized to the screen (with or without a border).
  • You can make the Movie be mute (for the safety of your neighbors for instance).
  • You can choose the color of the background.
  • You can play the movie on the main screen only (if you’re lucky enough to have multiple monitors).
