By default, the movie controller shows stepping buttons on either side of the play button. But you can change those to scanning buttons. In this tutorial, Derrick shows you how to change to scanning buttons in Photos for macOS High Sierra.
- [Instructor] By default when you play your movie,…you have the play button itself just like that,…and then you also have step buttons…which allows you to go from frame to frame,…which can be very handy when you're looking…for a single frame to export, right?…Just go frame to frame to frame.…However, sometimes it's a little tedious…if you have a longer video clip…and you want to scrub through it,…so you can switch those step buttons to scanning buttons.…And just do it like this.…
Now all you have to do is hold it down…and you can scan…at twice the speed, okay?…At double time.…And that can be handy with longer videos.…So you have scan buttons available to you if you want them.…They're in the menu.…If you want to switch back,…then you can show frame stepping buttons,…which is the default.…So both of them are available here in the gear menu.…Choose the ones that work best for you…given the task at hand.…
