Under the ‘ Open With ‘ section, select VLC from the drop-down menu. Click the ‘Change All’ button. That’s all you need to do, the video file would open with VLC every time you double click it or press CMD+DOWN. Step 1: Download and install the latest version of VLC for Mac from the official site. Step 2: Choose the video output directory (where the trimmed video will go to). Launch VLC media player from the Launchpad or application on your Mac. Navigate to the Preferences window which is accessible from the VLC menu at the top bar. If you do not want to be disturbed at all while watching movies, series, or other videos in VLC Media Player then one option we have is to set it to be Always on top. It’s an easy thing to do, just go to View Always on Top. Activating this option means that other programs cannot overlap or display over VLC Media Player on your computer.
