So I was curious if there's any other software out there that is both reliable and feature-rich for use in a live production environment. I've also done performance tests on the same machine, using the same media, across the above mentioned software, and Qlab was the quickest to drop frames, etc. The problem that I have with it is that it's a little inflexible and quick to setup in last minute situations. The best balance between professionalism and feature-set that I've found.

My problem with it is that it always feels buggy and unreliable to me, and when I've used it I've had not one but two backup systems in place because I really don't trust it.

Its interface is more streamlined than Pro Presenters', it's very powerful with its multi-screen capability. I love this software for what it can and should be. It also feels and seems less reliable than Playback Pro (find myself restarting it more than I want to because it starts to bug out at a certain point).

More feature rich than Playback Pro, but since it comes from a house of worship background it isn't the most professional looking, and I personally find its interface to be a little convoluted. They had mentioned a 64-bit version several years ago and now its nowhere to be found. Pretty much the industry standard, I like its simplicity and reliability, but they have major problems keeping the software up to date with Apple OS releases and it's a little light on feature-set nowadays. So I've been doing video for quite a while and I was curious if there are any video playback software alternatives that I am not thinking of.
