Remote control the Quicktime Player and insert some data from the current movie into the active buffer.

This is intended for doing transcription of videos inside of emacs.

To get started, load the file and invoke the mode like: M-x qt-scribe-mode. I'd recommend you use an extension like .qts so the mode can auto-load. Set something like this in your .emacs

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.qts$" . qt-scribe-mode))

Produces a text file that you can grep for content in a human readable format like:

[file: "subject1.mp4"]

[00:00:50.09] Participant deletes running apps.
[00:01:25.06] Queues podcast in playlist.
[00:01:40.06] Stops podcast.
[00:02:04.06] Sets alarm.

In the mode, the timestamps are clickable links to seek the player to that point.

• C-c SPC toggles the playback on and off
• C-c RET inserts a timestamp
• C-c j jump back a few seconds
• C-c k jump forward a few seconds
• C-c f insert the file mark with the active qt file
• C-c o open the file
