Play and navigate
Open a local video, jump forwards or backwards by 5, 10 or 15 seconds, and use chapters to navigate to marked moments.
VideoKapitel · Videos & chapters
Important moments. Easy to find again.
Play videos, mark points and ranges, and give chapters your own descriptions.
For hobby filmmakers and photographers who want to find important moments in their local videos, including footage from a GoPro, smartphone, camera or drone. Support depends on the file format and media profile.
VideoKapitel is planned to join the Motivspur product family with version 2.0. The final full app name has not yet been decided.
From video to chapter overview.
Mark points and ranges
Add a point marker or a range with a start and end. Edit descriptions in the list, and undo or redo chapter changes.
Import GoPro HiLights
HiLights from supported GoPro MP4 files are imported as point chapters. Existing chapters at the same time take precedence. You can edit the imported titles.
Write chapters without re-encoding
The current export supports MP4 and MOV with compatible media profiles. Existing chapters are replaced; video and audio are copied without re-encoding. Before replacing a file, the macOS app creates a verified backup of the original in the same folder. FFmpeg is bundled and does not require a separate installation on the user's device.
MP4 and MOV are containers, not a guarantee of support for every camera or codec profile. Playback depends on AVKit; unsupported export profiles are not silently re-encoded.
A point is saved as a chapter ending at the next chapter start or the end of the video. A range marker does not cut a clip out of the video.
On Mac. In development for iPad.
A native macOS app, targeting macOS 13 or later in the project. The current local development state is not an approved App Store release; this page does not offer a download.
A native iPad app targeting iPadOS 18 or later is in development. Simulator checks are documented; acceptance testing on a physical iPad and a public release are still pending.
The iPad app works with a local copy and exports a new file. Its workflow must not be described as replacing the original with a macOS-style backup.
