How to disable “Slow Motion” function in QuickTime Player control panel

quicktimevideo

I found that when I use QuickTime Player to play videos, it shows different control panels. Sometimes it shows the normal one like this:

I can click the time and change it to frame.
For some reasons, it may display control panels like this:

There is a controller to enable the edit of slow motion. And in this mode, it is impossible to click the time and display frame number.
I tested with the same format videos (MP4), and it seems which control panel it displays is kind of random.
I was wondering how can I manually enable or disable the "slow motion" bar.

For me, the slow motion controller always shows up when the frame rate of the mp4 is 120 frames per second.

If you change the frame rate of the videos with ffmpeg, there are other instances where the bars show up that I don't remember specifically.

Use AppleScript to launch and manage Quicktime Player in the background

How about this: It's not exactly what you want, but achieves roughly the same thing.

I seem to remember pre-OS X you could activate an app and keep it from being frontmost, but that appears not to be possible these days (or I imagined it.)

to replaceFrontQTPlayerWithFile(aFile)

tell application "QuickTime Player"
    activate

    try
        set frontDoc to front document
        close front document
    on error err number errNum
        if errNum is -1719 then
            -- There is no open document
        else if errNum is -10000 then
            -- Front doc exists, but does not really...
        else
            log err
        end if
    end try

    open aFile
    play front document

    -- Hide QTP
    tell application "System Events"
        keystroke "h" using command down
    end tell

end tell
end replaceFrontQTPlayerWithFile


on run
    set unixFile to "/Users/diggory/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Music/Underworld/Oblivion With Bells/01 Crocodile.m4a"
    set macFile to POSIX file unixFile
    set fileRef to (macFile as alias)
    my replaceFrontQTPlayerWithFile(fileRef)
end run
