Still · Mac Coming soon
Look closely.
A Mac video player built for studying motion, not watching it. Open a folder, and it starts in slow motion at 0.14×. Step one frame per tap, zoom to 64×, pan around the picture and loop a section. Nothing plays until you press Space.

Questions
Questions
Who is this for?
People who study motion: coaches and athletes, animators and dancers, naturalists with trail-camera footage, anyone who keeps scrubbing a clip to see what really happened. If you have ever held the J key in QuickTime and wished it went slower, it is for you.
Does it phone home?
No. Still has no network code. The only file it writes is one preferences plist.
