Getting Started With QuickTime
This chapter explains the basics of using QuickTime. Find
out how to use QuickTime Player to play movies or view
still images.
Using QuickTime Player Controls
QuickTime Player has onscreen controls similar to those found on CD players and DVD
players. Use the controls to play, pause, and adjust the volume of a QuickTime movie, to
move forward or backward, and to jump to the beginning or end of a movie.
To go to a specific point in the movie, drag the playback head (the small black triangle)
in the timeline. To step through frame-by-frame, first click the small black triangle and
then press the Right and Left Arrow keys on your keyboard.
To fine-tune the audio, click the Equalizer on the right to reveal Balance, Bass, and
Treble controls.
With QuickTime Pro, you have additional controls. Choose Movie > Show Video
Controls to fine-tune the video settings. For still more controls, choose Movie > Get
Movie Properties, and then choose a track from the left pop-up menu and the property
you want to adjust or monitor from the right pop-up menu.
