CinePlay for Mac
Professional media player.
Professional media player.
CinePlay is a media player for video professionals complete with timecode overlays, markers, masking, safe areas, and cloud playback support. It is ideal for dailies, portfolios, client feedback and mobile note-taking.
It supports modern video codecs in MOV or MP4 containers, along with WAV, MP3, M4A and AIFF audio.
Not inexpensive for a utility, but useful and the pricing is fair and not absurd like Telestream's Switch (from $19 to $729 for HEVC playback and markers).
Strength is in the features. I need to do visual comparisons of different compression parameters – CinePlay makes it possible with ganged playback throughout the video, including sync and drag and drop. For those who like to create notes on a single video before an edit, CinePlay has markers, notes, loop playback. All of this is possible in DaVinci Resolve or FCPX but sometimes one just yearns for a simple player with notation and timecode. CinePlay utility reminds me of QuickTime 7 which was fabulous software but doesn't run any more.
