Customized Video Playback

Create the Video World of Your Desire

A unique Flash player for Mac

You can play SWF files and change quality and privacy settings like you would in the Flash Projector (or any web plugin, for that matter).

Video tuner

You can enhance and personalize your video playback by adjusting brightness, saturation, contrast, gamma and other parameters.

MacBook Touch Bar support

If you have a Touch Bar, it can be used to control the playback. Play, pause, see the elapsed time and customize it to suit your needs.

Making Screenshots

Elmedia screenshot functions are highly automated and will satisfy even the most ardent screencapper. No need to pause, either.

A-B Loop

Elmedia can loop any video segment as many times as you like. This also works for songs - handy if your music album is a single file.

Deinterlace Improvements

Flickering, jaggies, blurring and other video defects are a thing of the past - just check the Deinterlace box in Elmedia Preferences.

Attune Audio with Video

Misaligned audio can be fixed. You can adjust the audio delay even while the track keeps playing - this way it’s easier to correct.

Advanced Fullscreen Mode

If you have several monitors connected to your Mac, you can select one to be used for the fullscreen mode.

Sound Improving Video Player

The New Era of Sound with Elmedia Player

Volume control

Fetching External Audio Files

When opening a video, Elmedia Player can automatically load audio files from the same folder and add them to the list of tracks.

Surround Sound

Elmedia can connect to advanced audio systems via AC3 and DTS. Give it a listen, and freshen up your hi-fi music!

The 10-band equalizer allows you to adapt the sound to your personal preferences. Crank that BASS up to the max.

Downloading Web Clips

Elmedia is not only the best free video player for Mac owners, but it’s also an efficient search engine, and a great video downloader. No effort is required to download files. From the browser mode, enter a filename or an address, select video quality and press Download. The video will start loading in seconds. YouTube support is especially extensive, accounting for playlists and subtitles. When it comes to SWF files, Elmedia can download additional resources.

Audio Extraction

If you want to download audio tracks separate from the videos, Elmedia Player can do that too. Consult the Audio tab - more than one format is available for the final conversion.
