After dozens of hours of practicing animation with live-action video, I developed a list of needs that I answered with this software. This app initially arose out of a frustration I had with many modern video players; flipping frame-by-frame was slow, and I sought to fix that.

Animation Buddy far surpasses VLC Media Player and YouTube in frame-by-frame responsiveness, and it is tailored in design for animation practice.
