- Rated 4 out of 5by Camryn2223, a month agoWorks amazingly in 95% of cases. The 5% of cases it doesn't work in are YouTube and Twitch streams (it will constantly try to skip ahead if there's dead air but since it's live, the audio just sounds like the stream is skipping a bunch). If you could blacklist specific sites to not run it on(kinda like how uBlock Origin does) the issue with Twitch would be fixed, not sure how YouTube live streams could be handled though. I'd assume YouTube uses the same video player for both streams/videos so differentiating between a stream and video may be impossible for the developer but idk.
EDIT: It seems the developer is aware of people wanting to blacklist sites as there have been suggestions for this feature on the extension's repo; however, it seems that Firefox makes it more complicated to do than Chrome.Developer response
posted a month agoThanks a lot for the detailed review!
You raise an interesting point. I created an issue about this: https://github.com/WofWca/jumpcutter/issues/181. We can probably disable the extension automatically when playing live streams.
Workarounds for now:
- Utilize the Chromium's whitelist functionality (see https://github.com/WofWca/jumpcutter/issues/26#issuecomment-925007811)
- Just toggle the extension on and off with the Alt+Shift+X shortcut. - Rated 5 out of 5by CoralDonkey, 2 months agoWorks great on youtube, but it unfortunately doesn't seem to be able to recognise videos on echo360

posted 2 months agoHeyy, thanks for the feedback! Could you please send (email) me a link where it doesn't work, and tell me the platform you're on (Android / PC)? I tested on echo360.com/videos/echo360-expanded-solutions-webinar/ and it works, both on PC and on Android.
Edit: made an issue about this: github.com/WofWca/jumpcutter/issues/179 - Rated 5 out of 5by Shyboy, 3 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 10290316, 5 months agoWorks on youtube. And it works very smoothly. Better than I expected.
- Rated 5 out of 5by JoeMuchen, 8 months agoJump Cutter is the best product of its type that I have ever used. It skips silent passages very accurately. I can get the part I need in the video very quickly. Thanks to the developers, these work are great.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18285282, 9 months agoRequest new feature: Smoothed playback dynamic acceleration
Example :
1- set desired speed *e.g. x3
2- select starting speed *e.g. x1.5
3- % of video passed until desired speed is reach e.g. *60%
Result:
The video begins at x1.5
increases gradually as a function of time based on the duration of the video
by 60%, speed had gradually increased from 1.5x to 3x in 0.01 stepsizes.
e.g. at 60% of elapsed video duration it will be
playbackRate = x1.5 + (x3 - x1.5) * (currentTime / duration) / 0.6
This formula means that the playback rate will start at x1.5 and increase linearly as a function of the current time divided by the duration of the video until it reaches 60% of the duration, where it will reach x3.
This passive increase in cognitive load will lead to increased comprehension.Developer response

I think I have seen this feature being requested somewhere else? 🤔
Unfortunately, I think this is outside of the scope of this particular extension, this feature seems too niche.
However, a separate extension can be made to achieve this, and I believe it should work well (without conflicts) with Jump Cutter!
P.S. if you wish to fund it, email me. Should be a matter of a couple of weeks. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15941713, a year ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17178613, 2 years agoBest thing ever. I don't want to even imagine how many hours I've wasted for not having thought about a piece of software like this. Thanks!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12397002, 2 years agoI was wondering if someone had done something like this and hurray! It exists!
Very nice experience so far.
Will come back if I have more specific comments on it.Developer response
posted 2 years agoThanks! Looking forward for more feedback!
FYI there are alternative extensions, called "Skip Silence" and "Video Summarizer" (but mine is still my favorite hehe). - Rated 5 out of 5by Messi, 2 years agocan't change the settings as the screen goes blank on clicking the setting button on firefox nightly browser on android else everything is good.

Thanks for the report! I've managed to reproduce it. Will try to fix.
I personally use this extension on PC only, so, sorry about that.
