CYBMediaPlayer is a native macOS media inspection tool

designed for content creators, video editors, and audio professionals who need to verify audio, timecode, and media integrity before opening an NLE.

This is not a full-featured editor.

CYBMediaPlayer focuses on fast inspection and safe decision-making prior to editing, ingest, or delivery.

🔍 Why CYBMediaPlayer?

• Detect audio issues (silence, clipping, channel imbalance) early
• Verify timecode accuracy without loading an editor
• Inspect media quickly without generating proxies
• Save time and avoid costly mistakes in post-production workflows

🆚 Feature Comparison: Free vs Pro

Free gets you the basics for fast media inspection.

Pro unlocks precision tools for professional verification and confidence before editing, delivery, or ingest.
