Update May 08 2013\/ I just installed version 3.6.0.87 and I am delighted to say that H264 files now loop but there is a big issue for us animators….. The audio feedback doesn’t work anymore when step framing! <\/p>\n

Right let’s see if I have an older version on my hard drive.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It's like Magic!<\/p><\/div>\n

If you don’t know about KMPlayer,<\/strong> you probably think that VLC IS<\/strong> the best player ever. Very wrong! VLC is alright, but KMPlayer is much better, especially if you happen to be an animator.<\/p>\n

KMP is a Korean Windows Media player on Steroids<\/strong>. It has thousands of features but for animators, the ones that makes it standout are the following:<\/p>\n

– Opens and play XVID\/Divx footage frame by frame, forward and backward \u2026. with sound feedback.<\/strong> Except Premiere, do you know any player that does that? This function alone makes it perfectly suited for troubleshooting lipsync.
\n– Plays H264 quicktimes<\/strong>
\n– Setup In and out points and loop between the two<\/strong> (A-B function)
\n– Takes automatic screenshots<\/strong> (great for generating colorscripts)
\n– Hotkeys that make sense!<\/strong> Space bar to toggle the playback, 1 to play in half size, 2 original and 3 double size.
\n– You can autohide the interface so only the video is visible<\/strong>
\n– You can loads as many videos as you want and have them all playing.<\/strong> Great to pretend you are the master of the univers.<\/p>\n

I made a walkthrough as a PDF file. Check it out:<\/p>\n
