Video Playback and Annotations

Seems DEVONthink could provide a basic video player with a notepad next to it and let us open both files, linked together, and go through the video marking off notes at any time code.
DEVONthink lets us take bookmark links to lines and paragraphs in text, why not include links to time codes in video?

Something like f4transkript | audiotranskription
With a nice audio scrubbing visualization, keyboard shortcuts for speed / text expansion / etc.

Video content and collaboration is becoming such a large market, it seems it would make sense to offer ways to tag video objects, audio objects, and transcriptions of the audio/video content.

I know I would really appreciate a real API to access video position and play/pause/rewind without needing to open another tool that doesn’t integrate with my notes.

I like InqScribe also. It has a simple text editor with no formatting and so they use the tab key to stop/start the video while you type notes and ctrl+; to insert clickable time codes. You can setup your own shortcuts for text expansions.

In any case, that’s something I would like to see in DEVONthink.
If your videos are private, this will give you a way to organize them with notes linked directly to timecodes. If your videos are on youtube, you can download them with youtube-dl ‘https link’ and then do the same thing…

Are there any OSX tools that generate links like these to video time-code frames?
