Ask HN: Good way to extract small parts of YouTube videos as you watch

1. FreeTube

   1 516 17,828 9.9 JavaScript

   An Open Source YouTube app for privacy

   

   I've been using youtube-dl for years. And https://freetubeapp.io/ is amazing. But what I really want is right in the gui where the video is playing being able to mark timecode1,timecode2 and then download just that small clip.

   Flow like this: hit spacebar to pause, then press A to mark that SpotA and then hit space bar again to resume playing... space again to pause, then press B to mark that SpotB. Download and repeat again for another section in video.

   Before I build myself a gui to do this, is there a good way already?

   update I got this: "I would recommend watching the video in FreeTube, writing down all the time ranges and then using yt-dlp with it's --download-sections option.
