🎥 FrameTagger - Revolutionize Video Tagging Experience
Introduction: The Story Behind FrameTagger
During exam season, I found myself watching countless YouTube videos to study. I needed a way to quickly capture important slides and moments, so I began by manually taking screenshots, pasting them into a Word document, writing notes over them, and then printing the document as a PDF for quick revision. This method worked, but it was slow, tedious, and repetitive.
I thought, why not create something that could handle this entire process for me? And that’s how FrameTagger was born—an efficient tool to capture, annotate, and organize YouTube video snapshots, all in one seamless experience.
