From quick and easy viewing to sophisticated movie management — yFlicks does it all.

Just Watch

Firmly based on Mac OS X's QuickTime Framework, yFlicks can play any movie format the QuickTime Player can play. But it doesn't stop there.

Please Remain Seated

We love Mac OS X's Front Row feature. Access to movies on our laptop, across the room from our iMac, or pumped through our television set. But try browsing for an Adventure film or find a Hitchcock classic within a flat alphabetized list of files and you'll immediately recognize a limitation. yFlicks ushers you directly to what you're looking once you have enabled usher mode — you'll have complete access to your yFlicks library's structure via Front Row. Moreover, yFlicks also has its own Apple Remote support to let you choose movies and control playback directly from within the application without having to get up from your cinema chair.

First Glance

Sometimes, a static preview image just doesn't ring a bell. That's why yFlicks starts playing the movie your mouse hovers over automatically; and you don't have to open the movie first, then play, wait a while, stop, close it, and go to the next movie. Just move your mouse to the next movie's preview image, and that movie will start playing.

Spin Me Around

So you've shot a video with your digital camera in upright format. Now you're trying to watch it, and it's shown sideways. Duh. But never mind — with yFlicks, a perfectly oriented movie is just one click away.

Stay Organized

Quite similarly to Apple's iApplications, yFlicks not only lets you arrange movies in static groups — its versatile tags feature lets you categorize your movies any way you want. You can even tag your movie automatically by querying Amazon's online movie database, which gives you the additional benefit of having the corresponding DVD cover art downloaded automatically. And once you've done so, creating smart groups based on your tags and subdividing those smart groups by tag values will let you browse your movie library by Genre, Actor, Director, MPAA Rating, or Year, for instance.

Finders Keepers

If you're like us, you don't just want to watch web clips online. If they made you smile, you're inclined to keep them. So it's a good thing that yFlicks supports downloading from video communities such as YouTube, CollegeHumor, DailyMotion, Google Video, Metacafe, and many more. See the TubiTunes product page for more details on this, because yFlicks shares its web movie functionality with TubiTunes. In fact, it even includes a free TubiTunes license.

Non-Stop Fun

Every group in your library doubles as a playlist: Just set a sorting order or shuffle the movies for any given group, then lean back and watch yFlicks play them consecutively.

Clever Enough to Forget

yFlicks doesn't permanently add each and every movie you watch to its library. Rather, movies that are opened via double-click are added to a special section of your library that gets cleared each time you quit yFlicks. If you want to keep them, just drag them to somewhere else in your library.

Navigate your library via remote controlManage your movies just like you're used to managing your mail, photos and tunesFocus on movies by hiding the library with one click — the floating controls just vanish when you don't need themHave your movie library organized automatically, based on your tags
