In nuce: Chaos releases the Chaos Player. Despite its new name, the Chaos Player is no stranger: The player was previously known as PDPlayer.
Who is the Chaos Player aimed at? It is primarily intended for users who are looking for a fast-operating playback app. The product description of the player advertises that you and your team can view film images – directly after the rendering has output your images. As you can already guess from the description, the Chaos Player is suitable for remote working. Very contemporary.
And what else? Chaos Player can also be used to make basic settings for compositing, colour correction and real-time editing.
Showcase features: Chaos lists ten features on its website to make the new Chaos Player appealing. Let’s take a look at them..
- Playback Image Sequences (The intelligent caching system should allow you to view your film images quickly)
- Layer Sequences (You can view several sequences at the same time. Rudimentary editing is also possible here)
- A/B Wipe Compare (you can compare different versions of your image using a wipe screen)
- Export to MP4 (We’ll be cheeky and say it’s self-explanatory, right?)
- Composite (real-time compositing, or export to After Effects or Nuke)
- Adjust Colors (quickly adjust exposure, contrast, colour balance and blending modes in real time)
- Edit and Cut (including fade effects)
- Broadcast and Collaborate (share your film images via HTTP server or via a broadcasting monitor. Communicate better with your team by adding text and brush annotations)
- Key and grade on set (live and in real time)
- Command Line Support (allows the Chaos Player to be customised and integrated into your pipeline)
