Video Transformer Chrome Extension

Zoom, stretch, reposition, rotate, and mirror video using hotkeys inspired by MPC-HC player..
This extension is a video manipulation tool that can perform transformations via hotkeys on most streaming videos. The hotkeys and functionality are inspired by MPC-HC's Pan and scan rotate system. These transformations are useful for fixing black bars via resizing the video (Zoom), correcting aspect ratios (Stretch) to make video full-screen, GoPro or POV (Point of View) or head mounted video perspectives (mirror aka flip, or Rotate). You can also combine transformations. For example, you can zoom in on a specific area by using zoom and Positional Movement.

Supported Websites:

✔ YouTube™

✔ Vimeo

✔ Dailymotion

✔ Bilibili

✔ And many more, though this extension is targeting user uploaded videos that need tweaking.

Transformations Include:

✔ Zooming (in and out)

✔ Stretching (vertically and horizontally)

✔ positional movement (up/down/left/right)

✔ Rotation (clockwise and counter-clockwise)

✔ Mirroring (horizontally and vertically)

✅ To get started, go to a webpage with a video playing on it.

Then press Alt + V and then try the hotkeys below:

Default Hotkeys:

▸ numpad 5 to reset all transformations back to the original

▸ Numpad 9 / Numpad 1 to zoom in/out

▸ numpad 8 / Numpad 2 to stretch / compress vertically

▸ numpad 6 / Numpad 4 to stretch / compress horizontally

▸ Control + Numpad direction (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9) to move the video

▸ Alt + Numpad 1 / Alt + Numpad 3 to rotate clockwise / counter-clockwise

▸ Alt + Numpad 2 / Alt + Numpad 8 to flip vertically

▸ Alt + Numpad 4 / Alt + Numpad 6 to flip horizontally

▸ Alt + Numpad 7 / Alt + Numpad 9 to rotate 90 degrees clockwise / counter-clockwise

▸ Alt + V will toggle on and off all of the hotkeys above

Alternative Hotkeys:

(Note: This is for anyone with a tenkey-less keyboard like laptops, and some mac keyboards. enabled via a checkbox in the popup action options.)

▸ arrow left / Arrow Right to reset all transformations back to the original

▸ Arrow Up / Arrow Down to zoom in / out

▸ shift + Arrow Right / Shift + Arrow Left to stretch / compress horizontally

▸ Shift + Arrow Up / Shift + Arrow Down to stretch / compress vertically

▸ Control + Arrow direction (Up, Down, Left, Right) to move the video

▸ Alt + Arrow Left / Alt + Arrow Right to rotate clockwise / counter-clockwise

▸ Shift + Alt + Arrow Left / Shift + Alt + Arrow Right to rotate 90 degreees clockwise / counter-clockwise

▸ Alt + Arrow Up to flip vertically

▸ Alt + Arrow Down to flip horizontally

▸ Alt + V will toggle on and off all of the hotkeys above

⚙️ Customizability:

▸ You can add your own custom hotkeys for any of transformation operations via chrome://extensions/shortcuts.

▸ You can change 'toggle default hotkeys' (Alt + V) using chrome://extensions/shortcuts too.

⚠️ Troubleshooting and Notes:

▸ Some sites may load a thumbnail of a video and not load the actual video, so you may need to start the video first before attempting to do video transforms.

▸ This extension tries to override browser and website shortcuts like ctrl + Numpad 5 on YouTube. You may need to toggle off the hotkeys to use the overridden keys normally, for example using the numpad to type numbers into an input field.

▸ Sometimes I've noticed that I have to click away from a video (to any area on the page) to get hotkeys working. I suspect the video player or browser is trapping the keypress events strangely or perhaps the content area of the page wasn't "focused" and thus wasn't getting the keypress events.

▸ feature requests and bug reports are welcome.
