You can download youtube videos and drag them into MarginNotes.
Simply use youtube-dl. It’s open source and supports all the videos sites from twitter to vimeo to youtube, even with password logins. It restarts failed downloads and ensures you never download a file twice. It allows downloads of entire youtube channels if you wish or all the videos on a web page you are studying. Then you can just drag the videos into DEVONthink or into MarginNotes or whatever you are using for your video database.
Does anybody know if there are hotkeys for playing videos in MarginNotes? I’m searching for a way to hit play and have it play/pause the videos. Also wondering if there is a way to turn on the audio wave form so that I can cut the video where the person stops talking and see that in advance rather than have to listen to the entire track. I want to quickly cut all the video tracks and then go through an annotate them. If I had a visual way to see the audio, I could do it faster.
Oh, by the way, lots of other features in that downloader. You can download transcripts of videos from youtube with youtube-dl as well. https://youtube-dl.org/
Thanks!
