Pro Player's clean and simple monochromatic interface provides a fast, elegant and streamlined way to review or present video content. Motion graphics designers will value the ability to quickly view alpha channels, and with a dedicated area for playback controls outside the image, users are able to see all of their video, all of the time.

London, UK - 15 August 2012

Digital Heaven today announced the release of Pro Player, a QuickTime player designed for video content creators and motion graphics designers.

The goal of Pro Player is to deliver a superb experience for professional users, who commonly need more than the built-in OS X player can provide. Comprehensive control is the hallmark of a good player app, and Pro Player excels in this respect with some unique features. The industry-standard JKL keyboard control for variable speed is included, along with interactive jog and shuttle on the viewer area itself. The Jump Back command allows instant rewind (with a choice of timings), so it's easy to review a missed moment again.

A unique time-saving feature of Pro Player is the ability to view embedded alpha channels without having to open the movie in a full-blown graphics or editing application. Video, audio and timecode information for the current movie is always visible and the current timecode is shown in a large and clear display.

Beta testers have been enthusiastic about Pro Player:

"Pro Player has been great for reviewing renders with precision and ease."
Paul Conigliaro, Motion Designer and Editor

"Pro Player allows me to send QuickTime files with embedded timecode to producers and they appreciate the nice big timecode number that they can reference. JKL control over playback makes it easy to locate specific areas that might be problematic such as flash frames, black frames or anything that might need blurring."
Shane Ross, Editor
