Show HN: Scenestamps - A website for sharing movie scenes with
timestamps
Hello hackers, I've launched a website specifically for sharing
scenes, complete with descriptions and timestamps from various
films and TV shows. I'm reaching out to gather your perspectives
and recommendations in these domains to improve the site and extend
my outreach. Link : https://scenestamps.com You are not required
to register/login to browse the site. Scenestamps Features: 1.
Search : You can directly search for a scene or a source. 2.
Upload Posts : You can register with your google account, login and
start posting right away. Unlike other sites in this specific
domain, users are allowed to upload posts. There are two types of
posts - scene - source Source is a movie,tv show, documentary,
etc... One source can have multiple scenes While creating a scene
post, source can be selected there. Scene post will have the
timestamp fields. There are two types of it: - single - one input
field of timestamp in which the scene happens. - from-to - two
input fields, from and to within which the scene takes place. 3.
Share posts : Share feature is available on both source and scene
posts, with which you can share the post to your favorite social
media platforms 4. Tagging system : You can add tag to the scene
posts. You can also get all the scenes that has that tag name by
clicking on it. I think people wanting to create scenes is quite a
small audience, but I want to make this the best it can possibly be
so please post any problems or suggestions in the replies or at
reddit.com/scenestamps.com or message me x.com/gjpx_ if you prefer.

| It'd be really neat to be able to link to a specific scene
| halfway through an episode of a netflix show, like you can
| with youtube videos. Especially if it didn't mess with your
| watch history. They'd still authenticate users, so I doubt
| there'd be a rights issue.

| ya, kinda a bummer. Users can add source streaming url in

|
| [edit] : Atleast with scenestamps you can stop dragging and
| get to the correct timestamp of that scene.

|
| For example, BBC uses:

|
| YouTube uses: https://youtu.be/PVemGumEEgo?t=13

| What's the timestamp relative to?

| Depending on the origin, the same movie/episode may have

| json_bourne_ wrote:
| timestamp related to how long the scene takes place.
|
| Eg :Joker Stairs Dance:
| https://scenestamps.com/scenestamp/01hv65eahhtfr58phx5keb1b1...
|
| Timestamp :1:30:19 to 1:30:16
|
| joker dance takes place between 1:30:19 to 1:30:16 in the
| movie.
| explodes wrote:
| Why is the 2nd timestamp seemingly before the first?
| json_bourne_ wrote:
| Fixed it! thank you for pointing it out, didn't realize
| that.
|
| Joker Stairs Dance: https://scenestamps.com/scenestamp/01hv
| 65eahhtfr58phx5keb1b1...
|
| Timestamp :1:30:19 to 1:31:39
|
| joker stair dance takes place between (starting from
| elevator)1:30:19 to 1:31:39(running from the cops where the
| dance ends) in the movie.
| aradaelli wrote:
| I meant where do the timestamp begin? Depending on the
| definition of "begin" you may have issues with different
| editions of the same movie.
|
| I.e. if in the same episode Netflix adds it's own logo and
| Amazon doesn't, then 00:01:35 will point to different scenes
| depending if you're watching Netflix vs Amazon

| You're definitely correct. Not even only on different

| instance, Blade Runner has 5 different cuts
| actionfromafar wrote:
| It _has_ to be more than 5 cuts, even.
| superasn wrote:
| Nice idea for a very niche audience.
|
| I was wondering Since all movies have subtitles, can't this be
| done if you give gpt4/chatgpt the whole subtitles and ask it to
| identify identify the start and stop time in the above subtitles
| where "The President of the United States meets the X-Men, as
| they try to convince him to work together against the growing
| mutant threat". Just a thought.

| Subtitles are not accurate all the time. Yes I think gpt can

| Personally I don't have money for gpt api, this site is being
