Description

Setup: Tools, Video Pro, Settings, ffmpeg detected Demo: paste a YouTube link, keep a clip, insert it, play it in the card

Real captures of Anki (English interface) with short numbered captions added. The ffmpeg path is hidden for privacy. / Captures réelles d'Anki (interface en anglais), avec de courtes légendes ajoutées. Le chemin de ffmpeg est masqué.

Video Pro

Play YouTube videos and local video files inside your cards, and keep only the parts you need.

What it does

  • Clips: mark several passages of a video; playback chains them and skips the rest.
  • Editor-style insert window: preview, timeline with thumbnails, draggable handles, Cut / Final preview modes.
  • Playback: speed, loops (finite or infinite), subtitles (YouTube or your own .srt/.vtt), autoplay, start muted.
  • Keeps playing across question → answer without restarting.
  • Custom keyboard shortcuts (several keys per action, conflicts with Anki are flagged).
  • Local files: a light preview is prepared while you edit; the final video is encoded once, from the original, as WebM (VP9/Opus), only with the clips you kept. It is stored in your collection, so it syncs.
  • Repair tool: Tools → Video Pro → Convert my MP4 videos to WebM (original files are kept, undoable).

Requirements

YouTube videos need nothing. For local files, install ffmpeg (a “full” build, with libvpx): on Windows, winget install Gyan.FFmpeg, then restart Anki. Official download page: ffmpeg.org/download.html.

Languages

English, Français, Español, Deutsch, Italiano, Português, Nederlands, Русский, 日本語, 中文. The language follows Anki (or can be chosen in the settings). English and French are proofread; the other languages are machine translations. Right-to-left languages (Arabic, Hebrew) are not supported: English is shown.

Privacy

No account, no tracking, no data is sent anywhere by this add-on. YouTube videos are loaded from YouTube by the standard embedded player (optional privacy mode: youtube-nocookie.com). The small “thank-you” message shown once after an update only stores the last version seen in user_files/coffee.json on your computer; you can turn it off (show_update_banner = false, or “Don't show again”).

Limits

AnkiDroid / AnkiMobile do not run add-ons: the [vp:…] tag is shown as is. Some YouTube videos forbid embedded playback. YouTube quality cannot be forced.
