ClipTunes does not replace YouTube. It gives you a cleaner way to rehearse the specific parts you already keep replaying.

How a clip gets made<br>Set the exact start and stop<br>Scrub to the moment, mark the in- and out-point to the tenth of a second, and add a note. Every clip plays only the part you kept.

1Scrub to the moment<br>Drag the timeline or nudge by ±0.1s until you’re exactly where the good part begins.

2Mark in & out<br>Press I to set the start, O to set the stop — right where the video’s paused, like a video editor.

3Annotate & save<br>Add a note (tuning, capo, key, count-in) and a gap before the next clip. The segment is locked in.
