What’s a good alternative for Quicktime Player 7 Pro that will be supported in the next macOS?
I still use QTP to conveniently chop off beginnings and ends of downloaded 720p YouTube tutorial videos ("subscribe to my channel…") and then save them as .mov without recompression.
Current workflow:
Cmd + O to open in QT as the standard player
Space Bar to start playing, Space Bar to stop after intro, Arrow left/right keys to nudge perfect position, O for out, backspace to delete.
Cmd + S to save, done. No complex save/export dialog to go through.
Has anything comparable come out by now?
A minimalist window playing a video. The QTP timeline with i/o handles below the video is not much of a distraction.
An app that can also be used as the standard player for most common video file formats, without high price, distracting panel clutter and loading time only appropriate for professional editing.
I keep getting told by macOS Mojave to find an alternative that will run in the future.
What do you use? Thank you!
