Go frame-by-frame through a movie with a precise timer
Give Avidemux a try. It should be able to do what you want and is freely available for Windows and Linux.
I don't know if this feature was available at the time the question was asked, but the open source MPC-HC (Media Player Classic Home Cinema) video player definitely has both these features available now.
There is a context menu option to enable millisecond precision for time indicator, and you can easily step between frames in both forward (CTRL+Right
) and backward (CTRL+Left
) directions.
You can also jump to exact time point OR frame in video file via Navigate -> Go To...
menu (or CTRL+G
).
