Playing a personal video
There are two things you can do with the Video app: You can view your personal videos, or you can purchase or rent, and then view, professional ones. Here you’ll play a personal video. The Video app offers several controls for managing playback after you’ve started it, including play, pause, stop, fast forward, and rewind. You’ll need to have personal videos on your computer in the Videos folder to work through this set of steps.
