VidStats Studio Dock: 18 Free Tools + Pro Tools for Every Video
Free & ProDocked at the bottom of YouTube and collapsible to a small tab, the Studio Dock puts viewing, study and capture tools one click from the player, plus the VidStats Pro tools for the video you’re watching.
Cinema Focus Mode
Blurs surrounding YouTube recommendations, masthead, and comments with an optical aperture, keeping the video crystal-clear. Press Esc anytime to exit.
Dynamic Ambient Cinema Glow
Samples video edge colors in real-time and projects dynamic wall glow around your player, mimicking high-end ambient TV illumination.
8 Bespoke Studio Themes
Instantly reskin YouTube with hand-crafted color palettes: Midnight OLED, Cyberpunk Neon, Sunset Amber, Matrix Emerald, Nordic Arctic, Dracula Purple, and Crimson Night.
Video Visual Filters
Toggle between Night Slides Inverter (darkens blinding white slides for nighttime lectures), Vivid High Contrast, Warm Sepia Comfort, and Noir Monochrome 35mm film.
300% Audio Gain Booster
Boosts quiet videos up to 3× (300%) with a Web Audio gain stage: made for whispered speech, old recordings and low-volume uploads.
Precision Speed Tuner (0.25× – 4×)
Fine-tune video playback from 0.25× to 4.0× with 0.1× micro-adjustments, breaking free from YouTube’s rigid speed presets.
4K UHD Frame Grabber
Capture lossless PNG frames directly from the HTML5 video stream, instantly copied to your clipboard and saved to your downloads folder.
Distraction Shield & Video Expansion
Eliminates the recommended video sidebar and comments, smoothly widening the video player across the vacant desktop space for an immersive view.
Precision Transport Shuttle
Step forward and backward frame-by-frame (◀ / ▶) for analyzing fast motion, tutorials, or edits, plus ±10s and ±30s quick jumps.
Picture-in-Picture & Infinite Loop
Pop out videos into a native desktop mini-player to multitask across tabs, or loop tutorials and study music indefinitely.
A–B Section Loop
Set point A and point B to repeat just one part of a video: a guitar riff, a dance step, a workout set or a tricky explanation, as many times as you need.
Moments: Timestamp Bookmarks & Notes
Bookmark the moments worth coming back to, with a note on each. Jump back in one click, or copy them all with timestamped links for your study notes.
Sleep Timer
Pause playback after 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes, or when the current video ends, so podcasts and lectures don’t autoplay all night.
Mirror Video
Flip the video left to right so dance, fitness and instrument tutorials match your own movements, like following along in a mirror.
Force Maximum Quality (4K UHD Lock)
Forces YouTube to lock the highest available resolution stream (4K, 1440p, or 1080p) instead of degrading down to auto low-res.
Timestamp Share & Quick Factory Reset
Copy exact-second links (?t=XXs) with one tap, or reset all visual styling, themes, and audio adjustments back to default YouTube instantly.
