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

Does Celluloid support ProRes video streams?
Yes, Celluloid relies on mpv, which can decode ProRes if the underlying libraries (libavcodec) are built with ProRes support. Most modern distributions include this support.
Can I use Celluloid on Windows?
No, Celluloid is a native Linux application. Windows users would need a Linux environment or a different player.
Is there telemetry in Celluloid?
No. Celluloid is open‑source GPL‑3.0+ and does not collect or send usage data.
