Stop Rewatching Videos You Already Watched

You've rewatched the same video 3 times looking for that one part. That's 3 hours wasted. Here's a better way.

The Problem

Average YouTube video: 15 minutes.

The part you need: 30 seconds.

Time spent scrubbing: 10 minutes.

Times this happens per week: 5+

That's almost an hour wasted every week on rewatching.

The Solution: Transcripts + Search

Every video you save has a full, searchable transcript. Instead of rewatching:

1. Open the video in BrainTube
2. Press Cmd+F (or use the search icon)
3. Type a word from the part you remember
4. Click the result → jumps to exact timestamp

Time spent: 10 seconds

Even Better: Read the Summary First

Before rewatching anything, check the AI summary:

• Key takeaways listed in order
• Important timestamps noted
• Main arguments summarized

80% of the time, the summary tells you what you need without rewatching.

Best: Highlight the First Time

When you watch a video for the first time:

1. Highlight important passages in the transcript
2. Add notes on key moments
3. Mark chapters for major sections

Next time you need it:

• Open video
• Click "Highlights" tab
• Find exactly what you highlighted last time

You'll never rewatch a full video again.

The Math

That's 42 hours per year you get back.

Quick Start

1. Save the video you keep rewatching
2. Wait for transcript to generate (usually <1 min)
3. Search or highlight the important parts
4. Never rewatch the full thing again
