How to use it
- Open the video on YouTube and copy the URL from the address bar (or the Share button).
- Paste it above and press "Load".
- Play the video, press "Set A" where the section starts and "Set B" where it ends.
- Looping starts as soon as you set B. Use "−0.1" and "+0.1" to fine-tune the points.
Features
- 0.1 second precision: you can also type the time directly (for example 1:23.4).
- Playback speed: 0.25x to 2x. The pitch does not change.
- Pause between repeats: useful for shadowing and repeating out loud.
- Play count: stop automatically after a set number of repeats.
- Mirror: see a dance routine as if you were facing a mirror.
- Sleep timer: the volume fades out, then playback stops.
- Share link: copy a URL that contains the section and the speed.
- Save to my list: name a section and come back to it later.
Questions
It says the video cannot be embedded
Some owners do not allow their videos to play outside YouTube. In that case use thebookmarklet, which runs on the YouTube page itself.
The loading spinner or the play button appears every time it loops
Seamless looping is always on: a second player is prepared behind the first one and the two are swapped at point B, so playback does not stop (about 20 ms in our measurements instead of 300 ms). It only works when point A is at least 6 seconds into the video and the section is at least 6 seconds long, because YouTube needs about 5 seconds to hide its own controls. The page tells you when a section is too short.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. You can set the section on iPhone and Android exactly as on a computer.
The keyboard shortcuts do nothing
If you click on the video, key presses go to the YouTube player. Click outside the video first.
Where are the saved sections stored?
Only in your browser (localStorage). Nothing is sent to our server. Clearing your browsing data deletes them, so use the export button on the my list page to keep a copy.
