The Media Viewer is part of the Blender Studio Tools repository. Note: The blender-media-viewer requires at least Blender 3.1!

It ships with its own add-on and keymap which add the functionality to make it usable as a media viewer. This Application Template reduces the Blender UI to a bare minimum to remove all elements that are not needed. One important aspect of the blender-media-viewer is to be able to use it without your mouse. It became apparent that having review tools fit well in the scope of this project, so they got added. It came to life because we wanted to have a player that could seamlessly browse media files with the arrow keys for our weekly presentations at the studio no matter if they are video, images or image sequences. The blender-media-viewer is a Blender Application Template that makes Blender usable as a Video-Player, Image and Text-Viewer and Review tool.
