“Color management cannot guarantee perfect color accuracy however, not using color management (or implementing it incorrectly as some media players do) will have obvious negative effects on the faithful reproduction of an image”. Optimus Player has been created to feel right at home on your Mac with multi-touch gestures and standard keyboard shortcuts for controlling playback, as well as features like video hardware acceleration for smooth playback and longer battery life and window restoration so you can pick up where you left off after restarting the app or your device.

As a result the Optimus Player can play all the major file formats, with support for 250+ file formats and 400+ codecs including Avid’s DNxHD formats. As a consequence I have been on the lookout for a simple player to function as a replacement to the QuickTime 7 player and I think I have found it in Optimus Player from Darren Mo which has only just been released.ĭarren has built Optimus Player on top of the FFmpeg software libraries, the same libraries that are used in the ffWorks video conversion software that I covered in our recent article Two Ways To Create Pro Tools Friendly Avid DNxHD Video Files Without Using MPEG Streamclip - Expert Tutorial. With macOS Mojave, even now if you try and play an Avid DNxHD video, it starts converting it. In addition, its replacement QuickTime Player will no longer play unsupported codecs like Avid’s DNxHD format.

When Apple releases the successor to macOS Mojave there will no longer be any support for 32 bit applications including QuickTime 7 Pro.
