Trying to create Unix script to record categorized timestamped bookmarks from VLC videos
Posted: 04 Apr 2016 21:39
Hi,
I am trying to record custom identifying timestamps or bookmarks from VLC videos.
I have multiple videos containing over 20 hours of footage that I am trying to sift through for 'key moments' which I will later have to revisit. I am looking for a way to set up different keyboard keys that when pressed while watching a video will record a one word description timestamp or bookmark. Will need about 10 keys to press that will each serve to as an indicator of what is shown at that specific time stamp. For example, if the footage is of a bear, I would like to press "B" for bear and have a timestamp documented somewhere...
I am using an older version of VLC (Version 2.0.10 Twoflower (PowerPC 32bit)) since my MAC OS X is a little dated (10.6.
. Some friends were telling me to create a bash script to query VLC video's and to implement the mechanisms to timestamp these moments with possibly using screencapture along with the time stamp.
Any ideas would be VERY appreciated as I am feeling kind of lost on this...
