Fine-Tuning and Enhancing Your Videos
Effortless customization is the main asset of Elmedia Player. Playing MP4 on Mac has never been this flexible! And with additional advanced controls available in the PRO version, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without the wide range of features this player has to offer.
High-quality full screen features
If you use multiple monitors with your Mac, Elmedia PRO lets you easily switch between them. When you go full screen, your video plays at the selected display’s native resolution for the best possible quality.
Fine-tuning video options
Elmedia Player PRO has already caught up to the ingenious technologies you can find in a home TV.

Precise screenshots
We might not be directors or cameramen, but we all can appreciate a good shot. Elmedia PRO allows you to scan the timeline frame-by-frame, to get the exact moment you want for your screenshot. You can automatically make a series of images with any video - useful for storyboarding, blogging, etc.
Continuous loop
Mark two points on a video to have it play over and over again with Elmedia PRO. This feature is absolutely necessary for subtitle transcribers. Alternatively, you can inspect a movie scene for minute details.

Advanced Subtitle Integration
Like watching foreign movies or other videos with subtitles? Elmedia Player gives you complete control of subtitle integration and support. There’s no need to convert files to other formats or use an additional source or program to get your subtitles to work with your video. And if your subs are delayed or not synchronized for any reason, you can adjust their delay as well. Here are some other things Elmedia Player can do with subtitles:
Appearance
Ever think the default font for subtitles is kinda lame? Elmedia Player allows you to shake things up, with a variety of fonts, sizes, text color, and background color of your fonts as well, so you can make sure they’re legible and match the tone of your movie or video.
Automatic loading
If you’ve got subtitles for your video file, you’re already done. The best MP4 player for Mac can automatically load subtitles in the language (or languages!) you want to use.
Online search
Do you not have subtitles? No problem! Elmedia Player integrates with OpenSubtitles.com. That means that if the perfect subtitle file for your video exists, OpenSubtitles will find it, and you’ll be able to download it and use it with no sweat.

What Other Users Are Saying About Elmedia

It’s what QuickTime should be like. Modern Video Player with the keyboard shortcuts familiar from YouTube & Netflix. I was always annoyed when I wanted to use the arrow keys to skip back in Quicktime, Elmedia gets it right.

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!
5
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.
