Pause Until condition Fails, but pause for time OK!

No Idea why !

Surely the first action leads to QuickTime Player being at the front (at least in the eyes of MacOS, even if you don't see it appear immediately). If that is the case, then the second action should not pause.

does it mean the Trim function not yet loaded into menu even when QT is launched, therefore the following shortcut keypress fails ?

oh yes !
the video which is needed to be edit not yet loaded completely, therefore Pause until the application launched is not enough.
Thanks pal !
