I found my notes on using some of the features of the VLC player.
-
To loop a section of the video:
When you come to start of the section to loop, pause the playback
Just above the STOP button is a button that looks like to linked eighth notes or a set of headphones. As you hover your mouse cursor over it, it will display that it is the LOOP function. Click this button once – the left side of the LOOP icon will turn red.
Click play again, and when you come to the end of the section that you want to loop, click the PAUSE button again and then the LOOP button. The right side of the LOOP icon will turn red.
When you click PLAY again, that section will loop until you stop it.-
Playback Speed:
To have a button to click on the tool bar to control the play back speed.
Click on Tools and the Customize Interface. This will bring up the Toolbars Editor.
On the left are Toolbar Elements and you should see an icon marked Faster and another marked Slower.
Drag and drop those 2 to the right in Line 1, just to the right of the Frame By Frame icon.
Close the Toolbar Editor and you should have those 2 controls in the bottom toolbar. Each click increases or decreases the speed by 10%

To set up The VLC player to slow down AV files in 1% increments, follow these steps
————————————————————————————————————————-1. Click on Tools in the toolbar and choose Customize Interface. You should see the Toolbar Editor like on my attachment below.
2. Scroll to the bottom; Speed Selector is the 3rd from the bottom
3. Highlight Speed Selector and then choose Native Slider just above the options window.
4. Highlight Speed Selector again and drag it up to Line 2, just to the left of the volume indicator;
5. Click on Close, this returns you now to the main player window. Just to the left of your Volume control, you should see 1.00x. If you click on 1.00x, you will have a slider control that will allow you to adjust your playback speed by 1% increments -

I found that if you want to loop a section, you don’t have to pause the video, while it’s playing just click the loop button once and when the video gets to where you want to loop it, click it again. 🙂

You can do that but unless they have changed things, the VLC player won’t mark the first loop point accurately. When I first started using the VLC player, the first loop point would be 1-2 seconds off from where I wanted it.
The developers may have have corrected that but the inaccuracy was the reason that people started pausing it to set the loop points

I just tried setting the loop and it seemed to be accurate on my end. I don’t use it too much for slowdown though as about 5 years ago I bought a video slowdown program that I have stuck with. It has a lot of features but I think the only feature that I would miss if I had to only use VLC player is the fact that I can also zoom in and that is good for finger placement. The VLC is pretty good though and paying zero is much better than paying the $99 I paid. I am disappointed though that the developer of the program I have has not done any updates or improvement for 4 years. He has a companion program for audio that he has updated almost every 6 months. I like the video program better.

I use VLC but can’t import a lot of You Tube videos. Some videos work fine but some must be blocked somehow. I have also tried the mp3 converters but they seem to rarely work.
VLC is a great tool to use otherwise. Any advice? -

Thanks Keith, missed this first time around. I may give it a shot.
I like the VLC player b/c slowing down live video clips, you can actually see what the player is doing at a speed that helps us to learn
Best part – its free LOL
Free is good!!
