Heya runners and community members! My name is TVtheTV and I recently set up the Pixel Cat’s End Adventuring leaderboard for us PCE players. My question is this: what’s the best way to determine time on videos? I’m not sure how to or if it’s even possible to see millisecond times on youtube videos or if there’s an addon that’ll let me do that (I have Firefox). My current best idea is to open them in my editing program and edit them down to the nearest possible starting and stopping frames, but that will take a lot of time and effort. Any help is appreciated! Thank you all for reading.

there is this neat little tool: https://slashinfty.github.io/yt-frame-timer/

Yeah there's the online tools like posted above and then something myself and others use with what you've been doing is downloading the files with YT-DLP and then double checking time in either Amarec or w/e software editor you use. Nice thing is with the YT-DLP program, you can set it up to download multiple videos at a time instead of doing 1 at a time.

Thank y’all so much!

I like https://retime.mcbe.wtf/ over the Slashinfty site since a bug has been fixed on it. And that it has the possibility to be updated more in the future. Since the developer seems to be inactive on the Slashinfty GitHub.

But personally, I would use https://somewes.com/frame-count/ since going though the video frame by frame is a bit more accurate than using the , and . keys and then copying the debug info (it seems).

Also on Somewes, the framerate of the videos don't get entered automatically, so you still need to enter it manually, just like on the previous two I mentioned.

Also a YouTube video in lower quality may have a lower FPS than on a higher quality. So I recommend to retime a video in one of the highest qualities to get a higher framerate. Since retiming with a higher FPS is more accurate than a lower FPS.
