I was about to download the video of a run to retime it in a video editor yesterday, but firefox download helper won't download it for me all of a sudden. That's pretty unfortunate, so what do I do now?
EDIT: I am moderator for the Frogatto & Friends leaderboard.
What platform is the video on currently? If it’s on YouTube it’s pretty easy to retime it directly from the site.
I want to make you aware that the frogatto board benefits heavily from counting milliseconds as it is a somewhat short game. I don't think I can do that directly on youtube.
I use this site: https://youtube4kdownloader.com/en/
You can download any public video from YouTube, and it also works for several other sites (like Twitch).
Since its on youtube you can use slushys retimer tool https://github.com/Slush0Puppy/retime
Both of those tools have explicit instructions directly on their pages. SPRT has all the info you need in the README and Matt’s has all the info built directly into the form. The instructions are pretty clear to me, but maybe someone has a video tutorial if you’re more of a visual learner.
I assume that there's a way to somehow find out what millisecond the run starts on and ends on with the help of that tool? I don't want to waste my time on reading all of that if it's just a calculator where you type in two times and it counts how much time there is between. If that's the case it's pretty unhelpful. I will read it when I have time, but I have been very busy recently and I am the only moderator for the game.
instead of typing that, you could have just taken a look at the links but you clearly didnt even bother doing that. The mattbradock tool has like 4 lines of explanation.
for slushy just go to the starting frame with . and , (or whatever they are on you) these go forward and backward a frame then right click > copy debug info and paste that into the "starting frame" slot on slushy same for the ending frame and it will give you the time between those frames and by pressing the button in the bottom left it will copy "Mod note: Time starts at X:XX:XXX and ends at X:XX:XXX, at XX fps. Retimed using SPRT."
but yeah you could have found it out by opening the link and reading
@UbuntuJackson first sentence on the link I posted: [quote]Takes start and stop points of a YouTube video, down to the frame, and gives the time between them in the format 1h 23m 45s 678ms[/quote]
If we wanna be technical, it's perfectly possible to retime a run entirely within Youtube using the frame advance both these tools use. Just find the starting and ending frames, get the minute:seconds:frames value from each, and subtract the second from the first. But of course that's basically what these tools do for you and so much faster since you don't need to do the math yourself.
Thanks guys I'm gonna do my best taking care of it as soon as I can.
When I tried to download and execute it I got the error message "Failed to execute !speedrun retime tool v1.2.0" but what does it mean?
@UbuntuJackson Just use the online tool linked above (here is the link again for convenience https://mattbraddock.com/yt-frame-timer/). Works exactly the same, but doesn't require you download anything.
"Failed to execute !speedrun retime tool v1.2.0"
Dont run the shortcut but instead go run the actual exe
