Étude — Loop & Slow Down YouTube for Practice door freddo123

Built for musicians learning by ear — and anyone who needs to study a passage of video closely.

PRACTICE TOOLS, BUILT AROUND LOOP REGIONS
• Set a loop region with draggable handles right on the YouTube timeline
• Loop it — or drill it one-shot at a time: playback pauses at the end of the region, press play (or space) to run it again from the top
• Slow playback from 0.25× to 3× in 0.25× steps; click the readout to snap back to 1×

ZOOM IN FOR PRECISION
Open the zoom panel to expand your loop region into a magnified timeline. Place the start and end exactly where they belong — down to the split second.

KEYBOARD-FIRST DRILLING
• A — restart the loop region
• S — cue: hold to play from the top of the loop, release to snap straight back
• D — push-to-play: hold to listen, release to pause, hold again to carry on

MOVE THE LOOP, KEEP ITS LENGTH
Dial in the right length once, then walk it through the piece — the loop slides, its length stays put.
• [ and ] nudge the loop back or forward by a second
• Shift+[ and Shift+] step it by its own length — march through a passage one phrase at a time
• Shift+drag a loop handle (on the timeline or in the zoom panel) to slide the whole loop; playback picks up at the new start

SAVED LOOPS
Name and save loops per video. Come back tomorrow; your work is where you left it.

SYNCED ACROSS YOUR DEVICES
Saved loops follow you between computers through your browser's own account sync — set a loop at the desk, pick it up on the laptop. No Étude account and no server; when browser sync is off, loops simply stay local.

FREE. NO ACCOUNT. NO TRACKING.
Étude collects no data — declared in the extension manifest, enforced by the only permission it asks for (storage, for your saved loops). Loops live in your browser and ride its built-in account sync (Chrome / Firefox) across your devices — never through an Étude server. Uninstalling the extension removes the local copy.
