I think this might work on slightly newer OS's? I'm not sure when Apple got rid of LegacyMovie.qldisplay.
PERIAN FOR EL CAPITAN 1080P
With the above command and my updated FFusion QuickTime plugin, I'm able to view H265 and even VP9 videos in QuickLook! (As long as the video is 1080p or below even unmodified QuickLook doesn't appear to like 4K regardless of the codec.) (LegacyMovie.qldisplay` will still be available at its original location for anything that actually uses it). The above terminal command renames Movie.qldisplay to AVFoundationMovie.qldisplay (so you have a backup) and then symlinks LegacyMovie.qldisplay to ``Movie.qldisplay, so QuickLook will use the QuickTime-based version. However, QuickLook doesn't use this plugin, it uses the AVFoundation-based Movie.qldisplay instead. On Mavericks, this will bring back animated QuickLook previews for any format that has a QuickTime plugin.įor some reason, Apple left a QuickLook Display plugin in Mavericks called LegacyMovie.qldisplay which uses QuickTime instead of AVFoundation, and thus supports more types of media.

Since this question is for Mavericks, you can do: sudo mv /System/Library/Frameworks/amework/Versions/A/Frameworks/amework/Versions/A/PlugIns/Movie.qldisplay /System/Library/Frameworks/amework/Versions/A/Frameworks/amework/Versions/A/PlugIns/AVFoundationMovie.qldisplay & ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/amework/Versions/A/Frameworks/amework/Versions/A/PlugIns/LegacyMovie.qldisplay /System/Library/Frameworks/amework/Frameworks/amework/PlugIns/Movie.qldisplay
