About Video Controller
🎵 Video Controller - Speed, Pitch & A-B Loop for YouTube
Slow it down, change the key, and loop the hard part.
Made for music practice, language learning and lectures.
🆕 What's New in v4.4.0
✅ Speed, pitch and loop are fully independent: change one and the other two stay exactly as set
✅ Loops play smoothly: no more stuttering or getting stuck when you turn a loop on
✅ Clean pitch shifting: no more crackling noise when raising the pitch
✅ "Now" buttons: set loop points A and B at the current playback position
✅ Keyboard shortcuts: change speed and set A/B without opening the popup
✅ Everything fits on one screen: no more scrolling in the popup
✅ The popup connects instantly and shows your current settings when reopened
✅ Seeking within a video no longer resets your settings
