				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you actually bother preemptively reading your software documentation, you may have already known this, but this is a huge time-saver over having to render test movies for my HDTV.</p>
<p>At work, I'm using a 27" 1080p monitor/television as my secondary monitor. We use a model that has a similar color profile for presentations, so using this screen as a preview screen is essential. Otherwise, we'd have to keep our presentation displays unpacked and hooked up to a computer, transfer files, and so on. I won't get into (more) details, but suffice to say it would be a royal pain.</p>
<div id="attachment_511" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 610px"><img src="http://www.pixelbath.com/wp-content/uploads/windowed-afx-preview.png" alt="" title="windowed-afx-preview" width="600" height="234" class="size-full wp-image-511" />
<p class="wp-caption-text">You can stretch to the edges, but there&#039;s still a border.</p>
</div>
<p>Even with this setup, I've been rendering drafts to an mp4 file and running a video player fullscreen on the HDTV (which matches the production environment). This is still a step I'd rather not have to do, so finally today I did some searching.</p>
<p>'Lo, and behold! There <em>is</em> a way.</p>
<p>According to Adobe documentation, <span class="key-button">Ctrl</span>+<span class="key-button">\</span> (<span class="key-button"><span class="unicode">⌘</span></span>+<span class="key-button">\</span> on Mac) does the following:</p>
<blockquote><p>Resize application window or floating window to fit screen. (Press again to resize window so that contents fill the screen.)</p></blockquote>
<p>Since my composition window is on the second monitor already, I pressed <span class="key-button">Ctrl</span>+<span class="key-button">\</span> twice.</p>
<div id="attachment_512" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 610px"><img src="http://www.pixelbath.com/wp-content/uploads/fullscreen-afx-preview.png" alt="" title="fullscreen-afx-preview" width="600" height="234" class="size-full wp-image-512" />
<p class="wp-caption-text">Ah, fullscreen goodness.</p>
</div>
<h3>Bonus Off-Topic Chatter</h3>
<p>The slashes in a URL are just that, slashes. They are technically <strong>forward</strong>-slashes, but we just call them slashes. There are no backslashes in URLs.</p>
<p>Right: "http-colon-<strong>slash</strong>-<strong>slash</strong>-homestarrunner-dot-com-<strong>slash</strong>-404d"<br />
Wrong: "goatse-dot-cx-<strong>backslash</strong>-mfw"</p>
