Media Extended is the best approach to note taking on video files that ive seen yet. It makes it super easy to get what ive always wanted from video notes:
- Timestamps that jump to that point in the video
- Timestamps without effort
- Easy markdown notes generated live while watching a video
I started with YiNote early in 2020 and moved to the browser extension memex when that offered a better experience and now finally this extension already in the Obsidian eco system adds so much value with such simple functionality.
There are 3~ main points of criticism i have about the plugin that could be worked on, but by and large its an essential at this point.
Main critique:
- The cursor end point after timestamp insertion being on the left v.s. the right
- The cursor focus after opening the plugin's modal
- The cursor focus after using the plugin's modal
- The ability to just hit enter and have the modal open the media after pasting is missing
Check out the plugin and let me know what you think!
