Keyframe Pro 2

Advanced Playback and Review

Overview

Keyframe Pro 2 is a high-performance, feature rich, playback and review tool designed for students and professionals working in games, tv and film. Built from the ground up and focusing on the unique needs of animators in production, Keyframe Pro 2 is a powerful addition to the animation toolkit.

Building on the core functionality of modern media players, Keyframe Pro 2 adds a wide range of features specifically tailored to animation: frame stepping and mouse scrubbing (forward and backward), audio scrub, editable source in/out points, frame and range bookmarks and much moreā€¦

Create timelines using multiple source files for seamless playback (RAM caching). Edit the in/out points of the timeline sources for the perfect cut. Export the timeline as a standalone media file*.

Compare shots using the A/B viewer (wipe/transparency) or split the viewer for a side-by-side review. Manage source files and timelines from the project view, quickly swapping elements between viewers.

Make notes, review shots and check animations using the annotation toolset. Save project files for individual use or share them in collaboration with colleagues.

Keyframe Pro 2 includes a robust, Python-based, client API for communicating with external DCC applications as well as the Maya to Keyframe Pro 2 script for syncing with Maya.

* Export requires ffmpeg
