You can paste formatted timestamps (like "1:24:56") directly into the time fields.
Use arrow keys to quickly adjust time values up or down.
Use the end timestamp feature to create shareable video clips. When viewers click your link, the video will automatically start at your chosen time and stop at the end time - perfect for sharing specific moments, highlights, or important information without viewers having to watch the entire video.
