Go Beyond Basic Playback
Sometimes you want to leave playback exactly as it is. Other times, you need to adjust something. Elmedia Player PRO gives you the option to change the picture, save a frame, repeat a scene, or fix audio timing without interrupting your workflow.
Choose your fullscreen display
Elmedia PRO lets you select the display used for fullscreen playback and shows video at the monitor's native resolution.
Adjust the image as you watch
Change brightness, contrast, gamma, hue, sharpness, and noise reduction during playback with Elmedia PRO. See the effect immediately without leaving the video.
Capture individual frames
Save a frame from any point in the video with Elmedia PRO. You can capture single images or create a sequence of screenshots while the video plays.
Set up a video loop
Choose the exact portion you want to repeat, and Elmedia Player PRO will play it over and over. No need to seek back to the same point manually.
Video deinterlacing
Older and interlaced footage can contain visible lines and motion artifacts. Elmedia Player PRO includes deinterlacing to make this type of video easier to watch.
Match audio to picture
A small delay between sound and video can be distracting. Adjust the audio delay in Elmedia Player PRO to synchronize the two tracks.
From Mac to TV via Wireless Streaming
Keep your high-quality content on your Mac or send it to Apple TV, Smart TV, Google Cast-enabled devices, including Chromecast and Android TV, or other DLNA-enabled or AirPlay devices. Elmedia Player PRO handles wireless streaming while your Mac remains the place where you manage playback.

What Other Users Are Saying About Elmedia

I am extremely impressed by this app. I had previously tried using the FFᴘʟᴀʏ utility to play back VVC video, but it had such high CPU utilization that I couldn’t watch 4K content. Elmedia Video Player, on the other hand, is so efficient that it only uses about 3/8ths of my M3 MacBook Air’s CPU to play back 4K HDR VVC — the most computationally intensive video format available!

I highly recommend you to check out the Elmedia player if you often watch movies on your Mac. The free version can satisfy most users and if you are interested in the advanced features like 4K video streaming, you can upgrade anytime at a very affordable cost.

Nice program, easy to use, main features that are available in the free version are more than enough. Supports various file types and is working well with finding subtitles. I do not need more and I am happy with the usage.

If I were to pick one based on my usage and needs, I’d lean towards Elmedia Player. The extra stability, advanced features, and professional support simply make it a more robust option.
