What is IINA?
IINA is born to be a modern macOS application, from its framework to user interface. It adopts the post-Yosemite design language and keeps up the pace of new technologies like Force Touch, Touch Bar and Picture-in-Picture.
Revolutionary user experience.
IINA simplified a lot of user interactions. In addition of traditional cascaded menus, it prefer using interactive UI components and gestures to give you intuitive, flexible and powerful control of the playback.
Powerful functionality.
Based on mpv, one of the most powerful media player projects ever, IINA supports almost all common media types (even GIF) and stably output high-quality video that optimized for retina screen. MPV's config file and script system are also integrated.

it's elegant. the better version of quicktime and it meshes perfectly with every design aspect of macos. it's actively developed. and it provides massive support while being so lightweight!
Since there is a lack of recent reviews I will mention that i have used this open source product as well and it is a joy. Came here from mpv since I am design over function kind of person on video players (sorry vlc). Anyways IINA was the perfect combination of design and functionality, love the submenu offers great user experience. Best in its class for mac os. Have used Quicktime, VLC and MPV never looked back after IINA was introduced even in the second quarter of 2021.
I like IINA because it's fast, clean, not resource hungry, doesn't make laptop hot like MPV does sometimes.
IINA is like VLC’s feature set meets QuickTime’s simplicity and OS integration. It’s the best generic video player for macOS by a BIG margin.
Plays video without the jumpiness VLC is showing for some reason
WOW! I'll be writing a full review, but for now I'm impressed. Thanks for everyone being part of this.
usually when I write a review it is mixed with some negatives. For now I cannot report any significant drawbacks to this app, so install, try, enjoy.
-- when using picture in picture mode you cannot fast forward or back.
-- when starting the player the recent file could be started by just hitting the enter button, no mouse is needed.

-- Also picture in picture latches itself either two left top or bottom or right top or bottom but not for example two middle or somewhere custom or getting out of the way if you try to hold the mouse over it or something like getting out of the way.

Absolute best media player for Mac, does everything you need or might want it to, like vlc but just better, cleaner UI and lightweight.
