Excited to share Atelier, my take on a more refined Video.js experience.
I wanted to create something minimal, elegant, and intuitive — with subtle glass styling that keeps the focus on the content.
The goal was simple: make video controls feel more natural, less intrusive, and enjoyable to use across desktop and mobile.
Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

Introducing Atelier, a new skin for Video.js v10.
I wanted to create something that feels simple, smooth, and stays out of the way while watching a video.
Atelier brings everything into one glass control bar, with a smaller pill mode for a cleaner viewing experience. It also comes...

Here’s my Video.js skin submission! I imagined what it would be like watching a video in a spacecraft from the future and left behind the conventional layout of the controls. What do we think?
Well done.
Plate is an HTML skin for Video.js 10. It draws the player the way quickflow.dev draws everything else: a numbered head with a status word, the picture framed by corner marks, a chapter index beside it, a ruler for a timeline and text keys underneath. A player is a diagram of a video's time, so I drew it like one.
What it does
Every chapter cue gets a button in the index, with its own frame from Mux's storyboard. Video.js has no chapter navigation control yet, so a small custom element reads the cues from the player store. Below 760px the index turns into a strip that scrolls with the video.
The time slider is a ruler, with a numbered mark where each chapter starts.
The keys are words you can read. Speed, Quality, Captions and Audio open Video.js menus. Space, K, M, the arrows, J and L, 0 to 9, < and >, F, C and I all work from the keyboard, and every control shows a focus ring.
In fullscreen the picture goes edge to edge, the controls fade while it plays, and an Index key opens the chapters as a side panel.
It comes in three themes (Night, Blueprint, Signal), takes your colours, fonts and corners through public custom properties, and speaks seven languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Romanian, Russian and Arabic, right to left included. It follows reduced motion, higher contrast, reduced transparency and forced colors.
The workbench at plate.quickflow.dev lets you try it on your own video, change every property, watch contrast and control names in a live accessibility readout, and download the CSS for your theme.
Plate plays the showreel on quickflow.dev. The code is open source under Apache 2.0.
does the chapter index stay visible in fullscreen or does it tuck away?
