Pump up the volume in Quicktime

This week, I started my spanking new job at Dubberly Design Office. I got a fresh MacBook Pro and had multiple eyegasms while pulling off the wrappers of my new ginourmous 30-in Cinema Display. Before I get sucked into the immersive display, here’s a little Quicktime tip I’ve neglected to tell you about:

When watching Quicktime movies such as movie trailers and music videos, you might notice the volume——even at its highest setting—just isn’t very loud.

To access a secret volume control, hold down Shift while clicking on the volume icon in the controller below the movie. A modified slider will appear, letting you increase the movie’s volume to its true resounding potential.
