Badass Video Player

Play is a great video player with some very unique features not seen anywhere else. The play button animations will be an eye catcher that make you want to stay on the page hovering on and off for fun. The video thumbnails will add another dimension to your content that will make it more compelling for users to watch your videos. And don't forget that it's fast!

Key Features

Rad Animations

The animations are unique and unlike any other player out there.

Play Button Styles

Custom colors and shapes for the play button allow you to make it fit with your site design.

YouTube Vimeo HTML5

Load videos from YouTube and Vimeo or load your own video file from your server.

Dynamic Thumbnail

By default, the thumbnail will be pulled from the video service hosting your video.

Custom Thumbnail

Load your own image via drag & drop, warehouse or from your favorite CMS.

Video Thumbnail

Give a glimpse of your video's content with a loop ing video thumbnail.

Inline Player

By default, the thumbnail will fade away when clicked and the video will autoplay.

Lightbox Player

The video can be opened in a lightbox player that also has some really great animation options.

Integrations

Works great with Total CMS, Feeds, Raincheck, Cookie Jar and more.

Performance

Videos are not loaded until the thumbnail is interacted with. This makes for faster page loads.

Demo

Demo #1

This demo uses a custom thumbnail image. When you hover, you see the thumbnail image animate as well as the play button change color.

Demo #2

This demo shows off a video thumbnail. This is a great way to show a glimpse of some of the times in the full video if you user were to watch. When you hover, you see the play button with a fun animation. Video thumbnails can be animated like above, however, I wanted to show that it was possible to only animate the play button.

"Wonderful video player. Good news: it's efficient, easy to configure, beautifully designed. Bad news: I have to update all my videos to use Play."
