When click quick time player in my application directory, it opens up an empty directory.
What happened to my Quick time Player? Does that mean my mac have virus?
How could I recover this application? How could I find out if my mac has virus?
Thank you very much.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

Confusion abounding for you, I see.
When you Launch SOME apps from the App itself, they will open a New-Empty document. Try it with TextEdit.app or somesuch.
QuickTime X is a PLAYER - so when you Launch it, it then waits for you to choose what you want to do... Open a movie, Record a Screen Session, etc. Is it possible that you are seeing an "Open" dialog? It may only show playable files, so it could very well look empty, even if not.
If you DO mean QT X just opens an empty Folder in the Finder, take a few screenshots of your actions flow to let the pictures do the talking
Meanwhile, I will ask our Hosts to move this to the Quicktime Forum

I just looked at the TITLE... "container"? Do you mean a NEW empty movie window? That may be normal - like the TextEdit example above. - ÇÇÇ
Thank you again, Chitlins. It is indeed looking for mov files. I see it is not an error but by design now.

You're welcome (again? still waiting methinks 😉 )
I have been a MacAddict for almost three decades. I always find the file I want in the Finder and let dubl-clicking do the dirty work. The only Apps I Launch from their Icon (got 'em in the Dock) are web browser & mail client.
buenos tardes
