Preparation ### 3. Running the software Double-click the file to open the program. If Windows displays a security warning, click "More info" and then select "Run anyway." This happens because the application is new and does not have a formal certificate from a software publisher. ### 4. Setting up your workspace When the window opens, the software asks you to select a folder. This is where your notes will appear. Select a folder on your computer that you use for documents. The application creates a subfolder named `wiki` inside this location to store your findings. ## 🎞 How to use the tool 1. Copy the URL of your YouTube video from your web browser. 2. Paste the link into the box provided in the application. 3. Click the "Start" button. 4. Wait for the progress bar to finish. The application needs time to download the transcript and analyze the video frames. 5. Check your `wiki` folder once the process completes. ## 🧠 Understanding the results The software outputs two types of files: * **Images:** You will see JPEG files that contain the most important snapshots from the video. * **Notes:** You will see Markdown text files. These files contain the transcript and references to the images. If you use Obsidian, your notes will show the images automatically. Even if you use a simple text editor like Notepad, you can read the summary and see the file names for the images. ## ⚙️ System settings The application requires a standard Windows 10 or 11 environment. Ensure you have a stable internet connection. High-quality videos take more time to process than shorter, low-resolution videos. The software uses your hardware's processing power to analyze the images. If your computer feels slow while the process runs, you may want to close other heavy programs like web browsers or games. ## 🔍 Frequently Asked Questions **Does this work on all YouTube videos?** The tool works best on educational videos, tutorials, and presentations that have clear text or slides. It works less effectively on music videos or fast-action gaming footage. **Do I need an account?** No, you do not need to sign in to any service to use this tool. **Where does the software save my data?** It only saves data in the folder you selected during the first run. No data is sent to external servers unless it is required to analyze the video content. **Can I stop the process?** Yes, you can click the "Stop" button at any time. The process will halt, and the files created up to that point will remain in your folder. **How do I update the tool?** To update, visit the download link again, download the newer version, and replace the old file with the new one. Your data in the `wiki` folder remains safe during this process. ## 🛡 Performance tips If the output contains too many images, limit the video length by choosing specific segments. If the text appears messy, check your internet connection during the download phase to ensure the transcript service receives all the data correctly. The software performs best with videos that have English subtitles, as these provide the most accurate timestamps for the analysis engine.
