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
