Unlike YouTube, you can't see milliseconds data on a video, and the retiming tools posted around here only support YouTube, if I'm not mistaken. So on the one hand you can't see milliseconds or frame-advance on Twitch, but on the other hand, if I try to download videos from Twitch (to retime it on my computer), I often get broken videos.
I tried sites like "untwitch" or "keepvid", but often I get incomplete videos, or videos that skip some important portions of the run (like the very freaking start of it).
Which is why I prefer runs hosted on YouTube. Worst comes to worst, the retimer can screenrecord the entire run into a new video and retime that.
I retime Twitch VODs the same way I retime every and any VOD - I download the video using youtube-dl and then I open the video in Sony Vegas and frame-count it. I’ve never used an online tool for any retiming, I do it manually to make sure I’m accurate with it.
I’ve never had an incomplete video download when using youtube-dl (I used Twitch Leecher before that and also didn’t have an issue).
I will try youtube-dl. Hopefully this will be better than all other downloaders I tried so far.
Update: It works! 3 runs that were previously broken, now downloaded perfectly. For reference, I used youtube-dl-gui (because doing things on a command line is not for me). https://mrs0m30n3.github.io/youtube-dl-gui/
Just want to update this thread to help other runners and mods.
To retime Twitch VODs, I'm currently using the Chrome Frame by Frame extension.
Previously, I was uploading all the videos on youtube but this method is way more easier.
The play is to just record while streaming then use windows photos editor to cut what you have down to the run and work with it form there.
I've been searching for this forum, and I think i've found one thing that can help retime twitch vods or clips https://somewes.com/frame-count/ Hopefully this helps!
@HeyItsCeleste, Somewes is good for YT and local runs, but that's only really it, since Somewes doesn't update its FPS automatically, and that you can't really view a Twitch video's FPS. Making it inaccurate for that and other platforms. But it is accurate when used on YT, with the correct FPS.
@jackzfiml I'm not sure why you're saying that to me. But you can't view the video's FPS without downloading it, and that this is the thing that most people don't want to do. And at this point, just retime the downloaded video💀 Also, different websites/downloading methods may give videos of different qualities.
@Aiivan there isn't one which I know of
You can try using a browser extension such as Video DownloadHelper to download Twitch videos, or a tool like OBS Studio which can record streams. Some users have also reported success using Twitch Leecher. However, keep in mind that downloading copyrighted content without permission may infringe on the owner's rights.
@anawilliam850 I do not trust those sort of browser extensions, since sometimes different websites/download methods produce different qualities of video. If I want to download something, then personally, I just look at my network requests, on the website, then I find the video, then download it from there. [quote=anawilliam850 ]or a tool like OBS Studio which can record streams[/quote] I also don't reccomend this, since OBS records your screen, and not the actual video itself
