Player controls

Play, pause, scrub, and the keyboard shortcuts every analyst learns first.

The player is built for analysis, not just playback. Worth learning the keyboard shortcuts — they outpace the mouse for everything except scrubbing.

Keyboard shortcuts

  • Space — play / pause
  • / — skip backwards / forwards 5 seconds
  • , / . — step one frame back / forward (paused only)
  • / — speed up / slow down playback
  • F — toggle fullscreen
  • M — mute / unmute
  • 0+1++9 — jump to 0 %, 10 % … 90 % of the video

Resolution

The quality menu lets you switch between 4K (when the original is 4K), 1080p, and 720p. equiReelz keeps the original at full quality plus auto-generated lower-res copies for slower connections. The original is always available for download.

Two-finger left/right swipe is mapped to frame-by-frame scrubbing — useful when reviewing a takeoff frame by frame without leaving the trackpad.
