Étude — Loop & Slow Down YouTube for Practice

About

An étude is a piece composed for practice. Étude turns any YouTube video into one.

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

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

FREE. NO ACCOUNT. NO TRACKING.
Étude collects no data — declared in the extension manifest, enforced by the only permission it asks for (storage, to keep your saved loops on your machine). Loops are stored locally; uninstalling the extension removes them.
