- Capture from video playback
- YouTube chapter validation
- Runs in your browser
Choose a YouTube video
Use a standard YouTube URL, Shorts link, share link, embed URL, or direct video ID. Playlist context is retained when it is present.
Share one moment or map the whole video
Watch the video, capture its current playback time, or enter timestamps manually. This builder keeps share links and chapter formatting together without making either workflow depend on the other.
Automatic chronological output
Enter moments as you find them. Links and chapter text are sorted without losing the editor rows you are working in.
Chapter readiness checks
Catch missing titles, duplicate times, a missing 0:00 start, short chapters, and incomplete chapter lists before copying.
Useful for publishing, teaching, support, and research
Precise links help viewers reach the useful part quickly, while chapters make longer videos easier to understand and revisit.
Link directly to an answer, demonstration, quotation, or key moment in a discussion.
Prepare chapters for tutorials, interviews, podcasts, lectures, product walkthroughs, and long-form videos.
Keep timestamped references beside research notes, editorial briefs, course material, or support documentation.
