I noticed this feature when watching a movie in the background and trying to scroll in Safari. If you scroll with 2 fingers while in Quicktime, the video you’re watching will fast-forward frame by frame (if you scroll up or to the right) or rewind frame by frame (if you scroll down or to the left).
This also works with the scroll-wheel if you have a mouse.
I find that this tip comes in handy when wish to replay a section in slow motion (the frame rate will be faster or slower depending on how fast you scroll). It also makes it easier to find your place if you forget to press pause when you go to the bathroom or zone out. It’s much more precise than the regular rewind and fast forward buttons.
