⚠️ Note: When you open the ELMX.app for the first time, a warning pops up. You can avoid this by clicking on the app with the right mouse button and then selecting "Open" in the context menu. Then you need to confirm once again and the message will no longer appear.

Getting started

Select a folder from your hardrive that contains at least two video files. Drag & drop it into one of the windows (pictured above).
If video files were found, the first video starts playing, at a random start position.
You can now cycle forward and backward through the list of videos by pressing the respective arrow buttons.
Again, each video starts at a random position. To avoid that, unselect the "start clip at random" option. Now each video plays from the start.
Hit the ⚡️-Button to start a new, shuffled sequence of trimmed 15 sec clips.
Experiment with changing clip length.
Explore other options, like fading, speed and info overlay.
Resize the viewer window to adjust to your needs.
Set the viewer to fullscreen. Use the keyboard. Press <arrow left> or <arrow right> to navigate the list, hit <space> to ⚡️ reshuffle and start over.
