What are the most useful QuickTime Player shortcuts?
Key QuickTime Player shortcuts include Space to play/pause, F to enter fullscreen, and the Left/Right arrow keys to skip back and forward by 10 seconds. Hold Shift with the arrow keys to jump 5 minutes at a time. Press Cmd+Left to go to the beginning and Cmd+Right to jump to the end. Use Cmd+= and Cmd+- to zoom in and out of the video size.
How do I trim a video in QuickTime Player?
Open the trim bar with Cmd+T. Drag the yellow handles on the left and right edges of the timeline to set your start and end points. Press Space to preview the trimmed clip. When satisfied, press Cmd+T again or click Trim. Save your trimmed file with Cmd+S (overwrites) or Cmd+Shift+S to save as a new file.
How do I record my screen with QuickTime Player?
Go to File > New Screen Recording or press Cmd+Ctrl+N. Click the record button and choose whether to record the entire screen or drag to select a portion. Click anywhere to start recording the full screen, or drag a selection then click 'Start Recording'. Stop recording with Cmd+Ctrl+Esc or click the stop icon in the menu bar.
QuickTime Player keyboard shortcuts not working - how to fix?
If QuickTime shortcuts aren't working, make sure the QuickTime Player window is focused and not in a dialog box. Some shortcuts like Cmd+F for fullscreen only work when a movie is open. If macOS System Preferences has remapped a conflicting shortcut (e.g. Cmd+T), it may override QuickTime's defaults. Check System Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts for conflicts.
