The review player built for motion design.
Play any video or image sequence frame-accurately, EXR and ACES included. Step, loop, compare and export previews without waiting on your comp app.
Windows 10 / 11 · 64-bit · Version 2.0 · macOS coming soon
See it finished before it's finished.
ACES, grain, halation and motion blur as live previews, plus dodge and burn that tracks the shot.
Find the frames that ate your night.
Playtank reads the render time of every frame and lays the sequence out as a heatmap. The hot ones glow. Click any bar.
Works only with image sequences rendered directly from a 3D application, not with re-exported or encoded video.
Same EXR. One plays, one stutters.
Playtank builds a light proxy while you keep watching. P switches over, the cache keeps it for next time.
From review to client in one drag.
Pull a still, a clip, a GIF or a WAV out of the player and drop it into chat, mail or your edit.
Check the model, not just the render.
Drop in OBJ, FBX, glTF, USD and more. Orbit with the mouse, switch to wireframe.
Background gone.
One click, running locally on your machine.
Before, after, side by side.
Drop a second version on the image and drag the line.

Questions
How does the licence work?
After purchase you get a licence key by email. Enter it in playtank (or during installation) and Pro unlocks. One key activates playtank Pro on up to 2 of your machines. Moving to a new computer? Deactivate the old one in playtank first.
Does playtank need to be online?
Only now and then. Playtank checks the licence every 14 days and keeps working offline for up to 45 days.
Can I use the Free version for client work?
Yes. Commercial use is allowed in both Free and Pro.
Is the €29 price permanent?
No, it is an introductory price. The regular price of playtank Pro is €49. Anyone who buys at the intro price keeps their licence.
Who handles payment and invoices?
Lemon Squeezy acts as our reseller. They process the payment, handle VAT and send your invoice and licence key.
