Long videos. Made navigable.

From play button to useful idea.
SourceLayer sits beside supported videos while you watch normally.
Click Allow and analyse. SourceLayer builds the Map.
Scan the sections, open an idea, and jump straight to its timestamp.
The video stays the source. SourceLayer gives you a better way through it.
Built for people who actually use what they watch.
“Honestly saves me so much time on long podcasts. If I remember something from earlier I can just find it again instead of scrolling around trying to work out where it was.”
“I use this for tutorials all the time now. Way easier when I need to come back a few days later and find one specific explanation.”
“Really useful for long videos and definitely saves me time. Took me a little bit to get used to the layout at first, but now I use it whenever I know I’ll want to come back to something.”
“The timestamps are probably my favourite part. I’ll remember an idea but never remember where it was in a two-hour video. This fixes that.”
“Really useful extension.”
“I didn’t really want another AI summary tool. I like that this keeps everything connected to the actual video so I can check the context myself.”
“Absolute time saver.”
Built differently from a summary tool.
You can paste a transcript into ChatGPT and get an answer. SourceLayer gives the video itself a persistent structure beside the video.
Transcript → question → answer
Video → Map → idea → context → timestamp → source
SourceLayer's Map is an interpretation. The original video remains the evidence.
