Sequence Player
Play a folder of render frames as a video right in the browser — new frames appear while the render is still going.
How to use
- 1Open a folder with frames — the button, drag the folder into the window, or pick a recent one. PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF, BMP and GIF are played.
- 2The player splits files into sequences by name and number; if there are several (passes, versions), choose one from the list. Missing frames are marked red on the timeline.
- 3Play forward or back, looped, ping-pong or once, every frame or every Nth, at the fps you set; step frame by frame, jump to a number, set the I/O range.
- 4While the render goes, press R or turn on auto refresh (every 1–10 s): new and rewritten frames are picked up, and the player can jump to the newest one.
- 5Add up to 4 windows, each with its own folder, and play them in sync to compare versions and passes. Zoom with the wheel, drag to pan, change the background.
FAQ
- Are my frames uploaded?
- No. The player reads the folder straight from your disk in the browser; nothing is sent anywhere.
- Which browsers does it work in?
- Fully in Chrome and Edge (they can read a folder and re-read it while rendering). Other browsers can open a folder once, without live refresh.
- Can it play EXR, TIFF or TGA?
- Browsers cannot show these formats, so the player only tells you how many such files it found. Render or convert a PNG or JPG preview to watch it.
- Why does it pause on some frames?
- Frames are decoded into memory ahead. If the next frame is not ready, the player waits instead of skipping it. A bigger cache (512 MB – 8 GB) helps with long or large sequences.
