Windows Media Player does single frame and was not on my computer. This works.

I just downloaded Windows Media Player for my Windows 10 computer. I set it as my default viewer. It is simple to use. It works well for frame advance but to go back it jumps several frames.

These are my instructions to include those not familiar with Windows computers.

I did the procedure described at the bottom of this webpage - I removed a check in the box next to "Windows Media Player" as described. "OK"? I took that to be the computer shut down icon.

Video of User Instructions - you have to remember this procedure: 1) Right click on middle of video screen. 2) Select "Enhancements". 3) Select "Play speed settings" and a box appears on the video 4) click on forward icon in box.

"Next frame" works perfectly. But when I click the "previous frame" it jumps many frames. ?

After downloading, "Windows Media Player" is in my list of apps under Windows Accessories.  It now works now as my default video player.

To set WMP as default -

under START (window icon)_search in magnifying glass, type "Default Apps"_select "Default Apps"_Click on whatever is your current default video player. A list of other options appears with "Windows Media Player". Select that.

under START _Click the search magnifying glass_Type in "Windows Media Player" as usually done to search the computer or internet. A box allows to open WMP.

START_Search Windows Media Player_Windows download box appears. Selected Windows "Recommended" settings and downloaded it.

I may have left something out, but I don't think so.

For Apple computers apparently Quicktime is available.

That covers single frame advance for my project and any inexperienced computer users.
