 Welcome back to the review and today I'm going to take a look at Keyframe Pro. At least I'm using the Keyframe Pro version. It's a video player software that also lets you annotate and so I'll show you the details but it's a really cool tool for critiquing. And if you are interested in critiquing there is also a video about screencastimatic that records your desktop. It's really cool as a combination with Keyframe Pro if you are in an educational sector and you want to record and do things especially animation critiques. But let's go to the desktop and let me show you Keyframe Pro. As always there's a link in the description for your website. You can see all the options of Keyframe Pro and Keyframe MP. What is missing and what is not there. Where you have your purchase options. It gives you explanations about the software. You have tutorials. They are scripts. As you can see here I'm using Keyframe Pro. Here's an overview and again what you have and you can check in here what are the differences. And there are also other tools that are recommended and available. So you might want to try out Keyframe MP. It's much cheaper if you don't need all the options but it's totally up to you. So as you bring up and brought out the movie here an old clip that I did a long time ago. So this is your basic player layout. You have your volume that you can change here. You have your play and stop and go frame by frame or go back to the beginning. You can loop or not loop. You have all kinds of options there including a annotation tool or not. You have the details of what it is. The range and same thing here with different options to change your sources and all that which I want to turn off. So for me the basics that I use and I have hotkeys for this where I can turn annotation on off with a hotkey. And then once I have this I can draw and also hotkey to turn everything off. So I can have something like this where I maybe go frame by frame which might not be the best thing since it's a locked off pigeon moment here. But how about this. You go from here to here to here and it shows you these annotations frame by frame and I can immediately turn this off. So as I go backwards all those drawings that I had you can see there's a I can use my tool here my other tool. You can see that whenever you drew something there is a highlight in terms of a drawing tick that shows you what happened. So if you can look at those three my hotkey they're all gone. This is all deleted. This is the primary way that I use this tool for critiques. So you can play back you can annotate and then that's it. But on top of that of course if you have something where you want to show off well there's this, there's that and maybe you want to show off the spacing in between. You can turn on onion skinning before and after and I like that it's also highlighted on the frame that you want. You can have some interesting effects with that. Of course you can change the color at any point and you can see lots of color options in terms of accuracy and the details. So I can go back in here and say oh this and then that and then that and so on and go back and forth then you can turn this on or off. That being said you can have let's say I say hello then like the oh you also have undo and redo options you don't have to delete the whole thing. If you do have this you can hit X to delete that frame but again if I do a drawing here move forward to a drawing here and hit X it's only going to delete it on that frame. So if you go back the other one is still here. So again you have options with that and you can also clear everything like this. This is what I have on a hotkey. You can have free drawing tools you can also just erase what you see here. You can type and you can change the colors of course that's an option. You also have arrows in case you want to point at something else. Just like screencast ematic if I turn on my drawing tools I'm gonna change the color so it's not confusing. This is the software on top of what I'm using here and it has the arrow tool as well considered a slight difference but if you're interested in screencast ematic a link in description with more information about that I'm gonna turn this off and stick with this and go back to freehand. Now on top of that besides help in licensing you got your tools so you can have your range timeline. This is very similar to RV if anybody is familiar with this. You can turn this on and off of course the playback options all of this with hotkeys. Project details like this what you have so you can import multiple movies media info just in case you need it of course and the console which was put into the other corner. I'm gonna move over here and you can see it's over there and it's locked in that corner for some reason. You have all your bookmarking tools cup bookmarks copy paste remove a lot of options for that the range and the range you can also set here you can move this in and say only this section here which then you can loop or select right click on this you got rage and reset playback for everything and other options here and I'm going to go up a bit because you can't see everything here timecode seconds and display so for me I have frame numbers not seconds I prefer this it also shows you the frames per second here so if you go let's go over here you have the viewer single horizontal vertical if you have multiple ones again annotation tools and then you have the size original half you can go small if you want I'm gonna also turn this off again so I'm gonna go video size original size which is massively big so resizing options like this if you want to make this big enough you have pan and zoom toggle reset which are a bit cumbersome I wish the pan and zoom would be through a number I can hit one two three four and it would kind of zoom in kind of more like RV does that's my only bit of a gripe you have of course rotations you have horizontal flips vertical flips and so on turn this back off and then you have also snapshots so you can see all of this audio wise you can have scrubbing which is great so I have scrubbing on so if you go here and you play this you're probably hearing this and you can you can scrub through it this is really great for a lip sync now what you don't see is not a waveform there's nothing really with the sound here that you can see so in the options here you have this grub increase and decrease and mute but that's kind of it but what you do have is the speed so you have normal half quarter decrease and increase so let's say plus and minus you can have also the custom speed in here but if I play this and I'm gonna hit plus you can see and I'm gonna use the other tool down here oh it was set to arrows here here you can see my turn is off again you can see how I can change the speed four times as fast to one as in like me clicking once but it's 25% 50% and so on you can't go in here and just click on this to change it so there's no direct change of your speed you have to kind of go in here and you do custom or blah blah go back in there that being said you got your all your options here forward frame stop go to start and loop stepping and scrubbing and also autoplay and in the edits again you change your range the project settings and of course you have all the preferences and here you can have all your caching size all your options especially open media new players you have multiple movies open and not just all in one but what I use a lot is keyboard so these are my hockey so in here I change some of the settings and annotation tools if that's what you need you have export network and advanced options and in file you import a new project open import and so on save our export reason files and so on and so on there are a ton of options and of course in here you can go on to the websites and also link in description with that site so you can check it out keyframe pro is a paid version that I'm using and it's well worth your money now there are other tools out there where you can play things and you can play things frame by frame and sometimes you can even annotate like screencast a medic annotation tool but with screencast a medic especially it freezes the frame and you can only draw on that frame and I've gone through a lot of tools finding something where you can draw on the movie on a frame by frame basis so you can almost animate on your movie to explain things if you are in the animation critique feedback mentor teacher business and I think the combination of screencast a medic link in description and keyframe pro is a really powerful combination so that you can critique quickly customize your settings customize the desktop have a webcam yes or no export this out and then upload or send it to your students I really want to do this so and I've been using screencast a medic for a long time and actually by now keyframe pro as well they're very stable nothing really freezes I don't really see any crashes the only thing if you move he is up for a long time keyframe pro does the ram does it just hogs it and just gets bigger and bigger that might slow down your machine after a while and the only thing a screencast a medic is the processing time of a green screen might even slow down your machine a lot as it's trying to put all that stuff together so check out the review screencast a medic all the pros and cons about that but it's pretty much everything pro except the green screen and keyframe pro since it's using RV to me at least as a kind of a inspiration I wish some other tools and options from RV would have been included like the ease of use for the zoom tool and so on but so the little nitpicky thing that I would change but as a whole is really really cool bear robust and for annotation and drawings in the frame by frame critiquing it's absolutely fantastic speaking of fantastic you you are fantastic if you're still watching this of course hit the like

information comments are open let me know what you think if you found a better tool if you're using this and you feel like this is cool and you got your tips and tricks I don't know whatever you want to say let me know comments are open and other than that that is it for this review thank you for watching
