Documentation

When a video has chapters defined, they appear as visual markers on the progress bar and are listed in a dedicated panel. Clicking a chapter jumps to its start position. The transcript panel displays the full text of the video synchronized with playback: each cue shows its timecode, the active cue is highlighted in real time, and clicking any cue seeks to that moment. The transcript also supports full-text search to quickly find a specific passage. Use the toggle above to show or hide the chapters button in the control bar.
