Key features

• Lightweight media player with QuickTime integration.
• Basic movie combining and trimming tools.
• Full-screen playback with an on-screen controller that can auto-hide.

Fixes and improvements (recent)

• Resolved an issue preventing the application from launching on Mac OS X 10.3.0 through 10.3.8.
• Fixed a problem on Intel Macs where the cursor appeared as a black square while in full-screen mode.
• Added a preference that allows the controller window to hide automatically when the mouse is idle in full-screen playback; moving the mouse restores visibility.
• Corrected the inability to adjust volume using the Up and Down arrow keys on Intel-based systems.
• Eliminated a crash that could occur when attempting to crop a movie containing a Text Track.
• Enhanced the Combine Movies workflow so you can set IN and OUT points on source clips.
• Fixed the Static Text Inserter so that typed characters remain editable (previously, newly entered text was immediately selected, preventing entry of more than one character).
• In full-screen mode, the controller window and mouse cursor will disappear when the mouse is left still and reappear when the mouse is moved (Apple-G still toggles the controller manually).
