How do I hide the controls in QuickTime in Apple Golden Gate (Mac OS 27.0)?

In QuickTime Player on macOS 27.0 (Golden Gate), simply move your pointer away from the video and the playback controls will disappear. 

Move the pointer back over the video and they will reappear. Apple — QuickTime Player User Guide

If the controls are covering something you want to see, you can also drag them to another position.

For an even cleaner view, press Command–F to enter full screen. Press Command–F or Esc to leave full screen.

You move the mouse pointer off the QuickTime window, and the controls will vanish.

Move the pointer completely outside the QuickTime window, for example, onto the desktop or another part of the screen, —and wait a few seconds.

If the controls still remain, then the normal auto-hide behavior is apparently not working in your installation.
