More About Video Transformer
This extension is a video manipulation tool that can perform transformations via hotkeys on most streaming videos. The hotkeys and functionality are inspired by MPC-HC's Pan and Scan Rotate system. These transformations are useful for fixing black bars via resizing the video (Zoom), correcting aspect ratios (Stretch) to make video full-screen, GoPro or POV (Point of View) or head mounted video perspectives (mirror aka flip, or Rotate). You can also combine transformations. For example, you can zoom in on a specific area by using Zoom and Positional Movement.
Supported Websites:
✔ YouTube
✔ Vimeo
✔ Dailymotion
✔ And many more, though this extension is targeting user uploaded videos that need tweaking.
Transformations Include:
✔ Zooming (in and out)
✔ Stretching (vertically and horizontally)
✔ Positional Movement (up/down/left/right)
✔ Rotation (clockwise and counter-clockwise)
✔ Mirroring (horizontally and vertically)
✅ To get started, go to a webpage with a video playing on it.
Then press Alt + V and then try the hotkeys below:
Default Hotkeys:
▸ Numpad 5 to reset all transformations back to the original
▸ Numpad 9 / Numpad 1 to zoom in/out
▸ Numpad 8 / Numpad 2 to stretch / compress vertically
▸ Numpad 6 / Numpad 4 to stretch / compress horizontally
▸ Control + Numpad direction (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9) to move the video
▸ Alt + Numpad 1 / Alt + Numpad 3 to rotate clockwise / counter-clockwise
▸ Alt + Numpad 2 / Alt + Numpad 8 to flip vertically
▸ Alt + Numpad 4 / Alt + Numpad 6 to flip horizontally
▸ Alt + Numpad 7 / Alt + Numpad 9 to rotate 90 degrees clockwise / counter-clockwise
▸ Alt + V will toggle on and off all of the hotkeys above
Alternative Hotkeys:
(Note: This is for anyone with a tenkey-less keyboard like laptops, and some mac keyboards. Enabled via a checkbox in the popup action options.)
▸ Arrow Left / Arrow Right to reset all transformations back to the original
▸ Arrow Up / Arrow Down to zoom in / out
▸ Shift + Arrow Right / Shift + Arrow Left to stretch / compress horizontally
▸ Shift + Arrow Up / Shift + Arrow Down to stretch / compress vertically
▸ Control + Arrow direction (Up, Down, Left, Right) to move the video
▸ Alt + Arrow Left / Alt + Arrow Right to rotate clockwise / counter-clockwise
▸ Shift + Alt + Arrow Left / Shift + Alt + Arrow Right to rotate 90 degreees clockwise / counter-clockwise
▸ Alt + Arrow Up to flip vertically
▸ Alt + Arrow Down to flip horizontally
▸ Alt + V will toggle on and off all of the hotkeys above
⚙️ Customizability:
▸ You can add your own custom hotkeys for any of transformation operations via chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
▸ You can change 'Toggle default hotkeys' (Alt + V) using chrome://extensions/shortcuts too.
⚠️ Troubleshooting and Notes:
▸ Some sites may load a thumbnail of a video and not load the actual video, so you may need to start the video first before attempting to do video transforms.
▸ This extension tries to override browser and website shortcuts like Ctrl + Numpad 5 on YouTube. You may need to toggle off the hotkeys to use the overridden keys normally, for example using the numpad to type numbers into an input field.
▸ Sometimes I've noticed that I have to click away from a video (to any area on the page) to get hotkeys working. I suspect the video player or browser is trapping the keypress events strangely or perhaps the content area of the page wasn't "focused" and thus wasn't getting the keypress events.
▸ Feature requests and bug reports are welcome.
Changelog:
1.9.0:
▸ add support for videos in iframes like on Dailymotion
▸ listen for hotkeys before the page is fully loaded
1.8.0:
▸ added customizable shortcuts: chrome://extensions/shortcuts
▸ added 90 degree rotation hotkeys
▸ improved video tag selection (starting/toggling-hotkeys should work more reliably)
▸ added icons
▸ misc documentation improvements
▸ misc code improvements
1.7.0:
▸ fix fullscreen horizontal flip (when no other transforms are used)
▸ fix z-index issue that hid player controls on some websites
▸ dark-mode popup options
▸ misc code cleanups and improvements
