QuickTime Player User Guide
QuickTime Player has onscreen playback controls that let you play, pause, fast-forward, or rewind your video or audio file.
You can also use playback controls to share a file, or play a file on an AirPlay-enabled device.
Open a file
To open a video or audio file in the QuickTime Player app on your Mac, do any of the following:
Double-click the file in the Finder.
If your videos or audio files are in iCloud Drive, click iCloud Drive in the Finder sidebar, then double-click your file. See Use iCloud Drive to store documents on your Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
Choose File > Open File, then select a file, and click Open.
If a file is an older or third-party media format, QuickTime Player may convert it before playing.

Quicktime Player App For Mac Download
In the QuickTime Player app on your Mac, open a video or audio file.
Download safari 6 for mac 10.6.8. Move the pointer anywhere over the movie to show the playback controls. Controls for audio files are always visible.
Tip: Depending on the duration of the file or how much time is left during playback, you can change the playback or reverse playback speed by 2x, 5x, 10x, 30x, or 60x. Simply keep clicking the forward or rewind button until you play at the desired speed.
Note: Some media files display timecode—an 8-digit code (00-00-00-00)—in the playback controls, instead of the 4-digit code showing the remaining time. The timecode shows source time information about a specific frame or recorded point, like the time of the original recording, or the frame number. When editing a project, you can use the timecode to navigate to an exact location of a frame in the media file.
Use the playback controls to play the video or audio file; you can drag the controls to move them out of the way.
If your Mac has a Touch Bar, you can use the playback controls in the Touch Bar.
