I have been using QT7 for a more than a decade, and it was a big blow when I realized it doesn't work on OS Monterey. QT X lacks many options and useful functions, but the most perplexing is that some of the options are just greyed out for no reason! Basically half of the options in the View Menu are not working. Here is a screenshot of what it looks like. Any fix for that?

Those very handy time display options are displayed only if there is timecode in the movie. I usually insert timecode to movies encoded with ffmpeg.
Hi danas_blia,
Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today.
We didn't find any reference to those features inside the QuickTime Player User Guide so those features may no longer be available.
You can leave Product Feedback and the right team may be able to review it.
Have a fantastic day!
it feels we are rolling back to prehistoric times. how come QT7 and any other film editing software can read frame count without a problem and QT X suddenly needs a mysterious “embedded timecode” which none of the videos have by default because… - well, because there are FRAMES in any video anyway! And by the way - QT X does recognize frames, because I can press the arrow keys right or left and it will go one frame at a time, which means it can perfectly count frames… this is simply ridiculous! I’m quite perplexed and I don’t understand the logic of QT player developers - making everything worse again seems like the only strategy now…
that's sad and strange to deprive users of such basic and handy features that we relied on for ages... and why do they appear in the menu - I hope not to tease us :( ?
besides - all the other view functions are not related to timecode, and they too are greyed out - like Actual Size, Fill Screen, etc.
QuickTime Player X many View Menu options are greyed out
