Apple QuickTime 7.2 - Manual (Page 12)

12 Chapter 1 Using QuickTime Player
QuickTime Player has onscreen controls similar to those found on CD players and DVD
players. Use the controls to play, pause, rewind, fast-forward, jump to the beginning or
end, and adjust the volume of a QuickTime movie. You can also use the controls to
move forward or backward in a movie.
To go to a specific point in the movie, drag the playhead (the small black triangle) in
the timeline. To step through frame-by-frame, first click the small black triangle and
then press the Right or Left Arrow keys on your keyboard.
Some movies have chapter lists you can use to jump to a specific point in a movie. If a
movie has a chapter list, a pop-up menu appears between the timeline and the
equalizer.
You can drag the handle in the lower-right corner of the window to resize the viewing
space.
Opening and Playing Files in a Web Browser
With the QuickTime plug-in (part of the free QuickTime software), you can play most
multimedia you encounter on the Internet within your web browser. On some
websites, movies play automatically. On other sites, you need to click an image of the
movie or a play button.
When a movie plays on a webpage, you typically see controls you can use to play,
pause, fast-forward, rewind, and adjust the volume of the movie.
To play a movie in a web browser, go to the website and follow the site’s instructions to
watch the movie.
Choose a chapter from
the pop-up menu to
jump to that chapter.
