After going in cruise control while looking at possible ways to do certain things (like brainstorming) I came across just what I was looking for: the new YouTube player. Complete with fancy opacity and animation effects, this is the YouTube player update probably rolled out to the select few on the already redesigned interface of the site (I’ve confirmed it doesn’t work with featured videos or some episodes of Top Gear). Gradients are added to the play/stop and volume buttons, where in order to change the volume setting a red bar appears via a very smooth animation. Remember I’m not talking about the new site, but the player itself that’s changed. Check out the screengrabs after the jump to live through the new awesome player Google has been tinkering with.
Above is a shot of the new toolbar, and below is another view of the new player.
