I have a growing number of movies on my Mac, each in a QuickTime movie file. Watching movies on the streaming platforms you can fast forward 5 or 10 seconds, back up, and so on, it's even better in YouTube you can click forward by 5 seconds 10 seconds, or even frame by frame if you know the keyboard buttons to use.
But during a long movie in QuickTime on my Mac, I seem extremely limited to hop back a few seconds to take a second look or screen grab of this or that... or to watch the last few seconds again. Is there a player I can open my movie files in to be able to do that? Something with more controls? I read a bunch of Google results about how to speed up 1x or 2x but still it's not at all useful, especially for someone who does it constantly during a movie.
Or if something like that doesn't exist, would it be possible to create one (player or controller app) if I had the money to hire a developer? Or is controlling a movie file something that's more complicated than I realize? YouTube is great, I can move around from any point by frame, seconds, or click the 1 to hop to the 10% of the video, 4 to the 40%, 9 to jump to the 90% of the video, etc and a bunch more. I'm surprised that there's not similar controls for something that's already downloaded to my computer. Are there any kind of controls or anything like that for QuickTime?
Thanks!
