“It's insanely FAST to load image sequences, has a logical layer system, useful hotkeys/functionality for managing those layers and sequences, handy color space and image adjustment controls, it can apply alpha masks for quick dirty comps, and has fun paintbrush tools for notations per frame. Pdplayer is all around awesome product.”
