I tried the 'control-open' but unlike Mavericks, that didn't allow the application to start. I went to security settings and it had selected VLC ready for me to approve security exception for VLC, which I did. Option 2: When opening the application a security warning came up saying application wasn't signed. Option 1: Go to 'System Preferences' -> 'Security & Privacy' -> 'General' For 'Allow apps downloaded from:' choose 'Mac App Store and identified developers' Then you should be able to right-click open the application and confirm security exception.
