QuickTime Player is the Mac's built-in media player, and it doubles as a quick screen, camera and audio recorder with basic trim and split editing. Its keyboard shortcuts cover frame-by-frame stepping, speed scrubbing and one-keystroke recordings, which makes it handy for reviewing footage or capturing a fast demo.
