Video Comparison Player

In the editing phase of a video, some editors might want to look to compare their footage. This involves comparing the source material with the edited version, which can ultimately help one decide on what further changes to make, or if it's time to dial things back a bit.

Users looking for a dedicated program for such a duty can utilize Video Comparison Player, a no-nonsense player that features synchronous playback and a footage overlay slider, to make this whole process more convenient for all.

The name should tell users all they need to know about the program: it's a video player whose interface has been modified to support simultaneous playback between two sources. You don't necessarily have to compare two videos, as the app also allows one to add pictures instead.

The interface can best be described as practical, as the sole focus is on the user's footage. Feel free to add the videos you wish, and get to comparing: the two sources will be played in their individual players, and you'll be able to go through each of them separately.

Data about your footage will be displayed just below its respective player. Information about its duration, start time, bit rate, creation time, and other such metadata info is be featured therein.

The functions you'll spend the most time with are Split and Overlap, which are the highlights of the program. Through Split, users will be able to go through the frames of the two videos at once, which can be of aid when looking to spot anything of note.

The Overlap function works to provide a slider, which one can utilize to better look through their footage. In essence, the tool will overlap the two sources, and users will be able to move the slider to look through each of them and compare the two.

Video Comparison Player is a very aptly-named tool: it's a video player that was repurposed to support simultaneous playback, with some functions added on top, to help users compare their footage more efficiently.
