3 years ago Hi, and sorry for the delay! The icon change sounds reasonable.
For the speed changes, I assume you can only increase the speed by pressing "J" and "K" multiple times? Then when you press pause/stop the speed reverts to normal?
Reverse playback is a bit broken right now, I'm rewriting the playback engine for the next version which should improve it quite a bit.
hi it's me again ! Sorry to bother you !
I just have some other suggestions to make about the playback feature !
pause icon I find it a little disturbing to have a square icon to symbolize the "pause" action. normally the square icon is used to "stop" the video, meaning play it from the beginning. since you already have this feature, I suggest you simply replace this square icon by the more common "2 bars icon" symbolizing "pause".
J,K,L in other editing software, and in quicktime 7, J is shortcut for playing backward, L forward. it is the case here, but another handy feature is to press L or J multiple times to increase the speed of playback, instead of pausing it, like it actually does. K is normally used to pause.
reverse playback speed by the way, the reverse playback seems a little buggy for now, it plays forward frames randomly, and changes the speed of playback to be faster...
Thank you for your amazing work !
Best
