Freelance Filmmaker Media Production Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 3/30/2016 "The best pro media player I've found. Waiting for better." 2.5/5 What do you like best about SCRATCH? I like the price (free or $5 isn't bad!) and I love how it supports any format i've thrown at it. The interface takes time, but once you dive in, you'll find pretty cool color correction features, easy comparison, and other on-set tools that will make life easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SCRATCH? I don't love the quirkiness of the program. The interface ranges from "totally makes sense" to "what were they thinking". I can't find a quick and easy way to do a basic task like exporting a still. I really wish they'd use Finder instead of their own file system navigation to get to your media. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering SCRATCH: It's free, get it if you have the problems I do; however, I think the market is RIPE for a lightweight program that can handle pro codecs with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is SCRATCH solving and how is that benefiting you? It fills in the gap of a pro media player that supports all kinds of camera and editing codecs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
