Home / Solutions / VOD timestamp generator for long streams
A timestamp list in the description or pinned comment is the simplest way to make a long VOD navigable. Generating one means knowing where every topic starts, which is exactly what a transcript index knows.
Free up to 10 hours. No card. Nothing to upload.
Chapters follow YouTube's rules and show on the progress bar. A timestamp list can be longer and more detailed, and lives in a pinned comment or description. Many streamers use both.
Watch the stream at high speed with a notes file open and write the time each time the topic changes. For a two-hour stream, expect most of an hour.
With a word-level transcript, topic changes can be found automatically and each one gets an exact time. The result needs a quick read-through, not a rewatch.
Pro and above include a timestamp index for each VOD alongside the chapters, built from the indexed transcript. Every entry links to the exact second.
