Why not? 

What happens when you try to open QuickTime? 

Do you get an error?

What are you trying to do with Quicktime?

You need to provide more details if you want help.

Try opening QuickTime player from the Applications folder, as opposed to a shortcut on the Desktop or Dock.

You can also use Spotlight to search the computer for QuickTime. If Spotlight doesn't find the app, it probably isn't there.

Are you getting an error?

Quicktime 10 is built into OSx Yosemite, so it has to be there.  There would be a really big issue if Spotlight could not find it.

What format is the video in?

Unlike VLC, Quicktime may not be able to open every video format under the sun.

You would need to convert the video to a format Quicktime can open.

If QuickTime Player can't open an audio or video file - Apple Support
