![]() I have been using pre-release versions of Optimus Player for a few months now to watch movies and TV shows I love it and I can’t go back. “I created Optimus Player because I was disappointed with the state of media players on the Mac I wanted to build something much better. This is a letter from Darren Mo which speaks volumes to us and although he designed it for watching movies, it should prove to be a very useful tools for us. Display color values were measured using the Digital Color Meter app in “Display native values” mode while the display color profile was set to “sRGB IEC61966-2.1”.”īut the simple answer for us audio people, is that Optimus Player has been designed so you see the colour as the director saw it in the edit, after grading etc. The test video was created in Final Cut Pro, an industry-standard video editor, and was tested on Optimus Player 1.0.0 and VLC 3.0.6 using default settings. The color space of the test video is the Ultra HD (Rec. “consisting of three colors: 100% sRGB red, 100% sRGB green, and 100% sRGB blue. There is a test video which Darren explains as… “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. I hope you understand that it is useful information for many of us Mac users.When Apple releases the successor to macOS Mojave there will no longer be any support for 32 bit applications including QuickTime 7 Pro. This is just my 'additional' solution for those diehards who love this old but fantastic program, but who now face the likely prospect of not being able to run MPEG Streamclip on Mac OS again.ĭear Moderator, I realise this isn't exactly an "Apple Mac solution", and I modified my post to hopefully now meet your regulations. The MPEG Streamclip Windows installer prompts specific instructions on what needs doing for a successful installation, which I followed to the Tee. ![]() I have two PC laptops (an Intel Celeron, and a Core i7) running Windows 10, that I managed to install MPEG Streamclip for Windows. ![]() But even when this happens, there is one fallback I still have on hand. I know eventually this program will "bite the dust" when my iMac passes away, and I will need to upgrade to an M1, M2 or M3 Apple machine. I have a 2014 5K iMac which I deliberately keep on High Sierra, so I can (just barely) still run MPEG Streamclip to this day. Anyone have any software recommendations on what to use instead?" I have been using it for a very long time to make subclips from much larger files. "So the latest Mac OS update no longer supports MPEG Streamclip. I saw this query posted by another users on this forum: ![]()
