Present Movie

Calling all OS X users with Quicktime! When you go to the View menu, you get an option to "Present Movie."

Now, which sense of "present" is that?

Is it [pri-zent] — as in, to present the current movie — or [prez-uh nt] — as in, to do something with the present movie.

Both senses can work equally well, and I can't decide which Apple probably intended.

I know this is totally inane, but this kind of shit bothers me. Help me out here.

Present Movie gives you size and playback options for playing your movie or slideshow against a solid background for a cinematic effect.

That's the dialog I get because I don't have QT Pro. So, I guess it would be [pri-zent].

Oh, I thought it meant they were giving you a present -- in this case a movie but also the gift of a note topic that once again helps humanity be a little clearer. In these tiny ways, Rich, you are improving the world.
