Timestamped note-taking app
For Windows users: install the provided codec before running the app.
Releases can be found here.
Notes are stored in a data file in the .pkl format. If you have a notes file ready, go to File -> Start Session -> Load from file. The app will ask you for the associated video first, then the .pkl file. If you are starting a new set of notes, go to File -> Start Session -> New, then provide the video file you want to take notes on.
Use the slider and the play-pause button to stop at a frame. You can add a note by clicking on the bottom left "Add Note" button. Double-clicking on a note takes you to the timestamp it refers to in the video. To edit a note, right-click on its text box and select "Edit." To save changes, right-click on the text box again and press "Save."
You can leave comments on a note by right-clicking on it and pressing "Comment." Comments can only be left on a note and can't be edited. If you don't like what you've entered, you can delete a comment or a note by right-clicking on it and selecting "Delete."
You can assign tags to a note. You will need to create tags by right-clicking anywhere on the tags box and selecting "Add" before assigning them to your notes. To delete an existing tag, select it, right-click and press "Remove." After defining your tags, they will be available as checkboxes. They will become checkable once you have selected a note. Using the drop-down menu at the top right corner, you can filter notes based on the tags you assigned to them.
You can attach image files to a note. To do this, right-click on a note and select "Attach Images." If a note already has images attached to it, right-clicking on it gives you the "Show Attachments" option.
Go to File -> Save to save changes. If you imported a notes file to begin with, the app will save changes to the file you imported. To save changes as a new notes file, go to File -> Save as... "CTRL + C" and "CLRL + A" ("command + C" and "command + A" on Mac) are available as shortcuts.
