What I can do is only stopping or running this movie, and no other actions can be done. If I missed one frame that I want to see while the movie is running, I have to restart the movie, and can not move the movie back.

VMD has nothing to do with how you view the movie that you created. it
all depends on the program you use to view that movie.

forward single stepping is easily possible with almost any tool that
can view such movies. backward single stepping is not quite as common,
as practically all animation formats are designed to be viewed forward
and thus need special processing and buffering for backwards viewing
or single stepping.
