Celluloid, alternative Linux à QuickTime Player

Mis à jour le

Notre avis

Celluloid can replace QuickTime Player for most everyday users who need to play .mov files, standard .mp4, and .mkv containers. It supports H.264 and ProRes via mpv, offers hardware acceleration, and lets you adjust audio/video sync. It is lightweight and open‑source, so it satisfies users who dislike telemetry. However, it lacks QuickTime‑specific features such as editing or exporting to .mov, and it does not provide a native Windows interface for Windows users. Overall, it works well for Linux users who want a simple, GNOME‑style player.

Ouvrir vos fichiers QuickTime Player

Celluloid can open QuickTime .mov files containing H.264 or ProRes streams without issues. It does not export or convert files back to .mov; if you need to create .mov files, you’ll need another tool such as ffmpeg or a dedicated editor.

Passer de QuickTime Player à Celluloid, étape par étape

  1. 1. Install Celluloid from your distribution’s package manager or Flathub.
  2. 2. Drag and drop your .mov files into the Celluloid window or use the File → Open menu.
  3. 3. If you need to adjust audio/video sync, press ‘J’ or ‘K’ to shift audio or video by 50ms increments.
  4. 4. For hardware acceleration, ensure your system’s GPU drivers are up to date; Celluloid will use mpv’s hwdec automatically.
  5. 5. To create playlists, drag multiple files into the window or use the Playlist tab.
  6. 6. If you need to export or edit, use ffmpeg or another editor after playback.
