Is there a way to move frame by frame in a YouTube video?
I don't want to download the video.
I know that Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2, etc. can jump to sections in a video. That's cool, but I would like more navigation options.

Do you need to do this for many videos or just a single video? If one, just download the file and use VLC/QuickTime to play the .flv or .m4v.– Jared UpdikeSep 7, 2010 at 16:39

That looks like my only option so far. It would be nice if worked in the browser, though.– snitzrSep 7, 2010 at 19:11

I recall the earliest video players offered this feature. Why every video player doesn't natively offer this feature is beyond me, but this definitely is a peeve of mine.– MichaelFeb 6, 2015 at 18:11

Pause the video. Press . to go one frame forward. , to go one frame back. I use these whenever I use others’ animated videos as references.

Using Chrome with the Youtube HTML5 player, these actually change the "speed" of the video : - "dot" increases the video speed (x2, x4) - "comma" decreases it (/2, /4, etc.)– JohnJul 24, 2016 at 15:11

@John Not for me , I use HTML5 also, in Chrome also as you, and they do what this answer says. Jan 6, 2018 at 0:54

There's a Web App and a Google Chrome Extension which allow you to move frame by frame through a YouTube video:
- Watch Frame by Frame Web App
- Frame by frame
- Slow motion
- Current time in milliseconds
- Frame by Frame Google Chrome Extension
- Frame by frame
You can do this using the YouTube enhance userscript;

Media Controller :
☯ Step back: Go backward to the nearest video keyframe and pause.
☯ Step forward: Go to the next frame and pause.
Hope this helps.
Period (.) goes one frame forward
Comma (,) goes on frame backward
Right Arrow goes forward 5 seconds
Left Arrow goes backward 5 seconds
L goes forward 10 seconds
J goes backward 10 seconds

Forgot to add, when going frame by frame the YouTube video has to be paused.– MonkJul 9, 2020 at 20:56
Your right and left arrow keys will step forwards and backwards.

Scroll Frame does this. Simple UI buttons, or mouse scroll.

This is considered a oneliner. Add more info to your post as the link may get broken in time. Apr 27, 2014 at 7:04
