Quicktime 10.5 doesn't allow me to view frames on a video file on Macbook, BUT the latest QuickTime version installed on a windows PC allows me to switch to frames, and view the video frame by frame. Is there a particular reason for this?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 13.4
QuickTime Player on Windows is very different software from long ago (version 7.x) (2016 or earlier).
The current version QuickTime Player on Mac has been rebuild from the ground up as 64 bit app, and had many of its features reconsidered. Some features have been discontinued, some procedures are done in a different way. They’re only the same application in name.
What did remain, is that you can forward/backward frame-by-frame using the left/right arrow key, from a paused position. (For some codecs and encoding methods, forwards may be faster rendered than backwards, as inter frames are optimized for that.)
If a timecode is embedded in the movie clip during encoding/recording, then the Frame Count can be shown instead of time, in QuickTime 10.5 as well.

Thank you very much for breaking it down for me. I am having trouble understanding where in the decision-making they decided to remove one of the best features of Quicktime, but at least I can wrap my mind around why it doesn't have the same features on different platforms.
