Authors

Summary

This video coding tool will let you play/pause/stop resume and code two videos playing at once. Of course it's also useful for coding just one video.

This is what it will allow you to do:

  • Use keyboard shortcuts for a number of operation (play, pause, skip, add codes, ...).
  • Load custom code sets and display as buttons (with keyboard shortcuts).
  • Resort transcript if you do multiple passes.
  • Play, half, normal, double, and triple speed.
  • Jump to video positions directly from the transcript (double-click on the line).

There are a few problems:

  • Changing play speed seems not to work with AVI files and not all options work with all codects.

Q&A

  • How do I load custom codes into the software?
    • Create a small .txt file. Put one code per line of the file. Then load the file through File->Load Codes... the codes should appear below the bottom-most text field.

Download

If you're interested in using the software feel free, it's freeware. Let me know if you have suggestions for improvement and I will consider them for the next release.
