How can I turn off Quicktime as the default player for video clips? I click on the video (AppleTV is the default) I tell it to open with VLC (which is the default for all other programs), it still opens with AppleTV. And Apple TV will NOT show the subtitles in the opera video clips???

THANK YOU Matti -- yes, I have tried that...and it does indeed open with VLC if I open it immediately. But my basic problem is that when I insert that same video (with the previous instructions to ALWAYS use VLC to open, and VLC IS already the default for all other videos) into a Keynote slide and press play, the subtitles do not appear...so I am assuming that Keynote was forcing Quicktime to play it? It ONLY does this with the latest 14.1 version of Keynote, it has worked fine in older versions of Keynote. And of course I cannot find a way to download an older version of Keynote to solve my problem...and all older versions of Keynote were upgraded on all my laptops because it is in the Cloud 😱 Somewhere I read that Quicktime is the default for Keynote..? BTW, I tried converting the video to .MOV -- did not fix it. ANY other suggestions you might have will be gratefully received 😊

Oh, so you use Keynote that might use its own framework to play embedded movies.
If you do not mind re-encoding movies and the slight quality loss and time and hassle it requires, you might want to "burn" the subtitles permanently to the movies pixel data. I don't right now have access to my drone movies with .srt subtitles to try this, but here is some info how to do that with VLC:

THANK YOU Matti for your suggestion. Am still trying to figure out if I am doing something wrong in making the original clip with Handbrake...the subtitles are THERE when I play it in VLC, they disappear when I insert it in Keynote...???
How can I remove QuickTime as the default player for videos?
