The clip downloads, converts and lands on your Premiere Pro or Resolve timeline, ready to scrub. No pulling a three hour stream to use twenty seconds of it.

How it works
Three panels in the app, three steps here.
Paste a link
YouTube, Twitch, or anything yt-dlp can read. A share link with
?t=fills the in point for you.Pick a range
Type in and out points, or hit 15s, 30s, 60s or Whole. Choose a quality cap and whether it lands at the playhead or the start.
Press YEET
Only that range is downloaded, converted for smooth scrubbing, matched to your frame rate, and dropped onto the timeline.
Drops clips into your editor
A separate app that talks to the editor you have open. The clip lands at the playhead or the start of the timeline, at the timeline's frame rate, in either of these.
Premiere Pro
HEVC, because Premiere does not decode AV1. Version 25 or newer, with Creative Cloud installed.
Install the panel from Settings → Editor → Premiere Pro, then open Window → UXP Plugins → YEETingus and dock it.
What you get
Frame-accurate range
Type 90, 1:30 or 00:01:30, or hit 15s, 30s, 60s or Whole. A share link with ?t= fills the in point. Only that range is downloaded.
Scrubs like a proxy
Half-second keyframes and the timeline's own frame rate, so it plays back smoothly the moment it lands. No retiming, no optimised media.
Up to 4K, on the GPU
Format detection tells you what is really available. Hardware encode to AV1 for Resolve or HEVC for Premiere, with a CPU fallback.
A history that remembers
Every clip kept with thumbnail, title, channel, length, size and date. Re-YEET, preview, copy the link, open the folder, or tick and delete in bulk.
Editor optional
A live status dot shows which project and timeline you are connected to. No editor open? Download-only mode still works, even offline once tools are fetched.
Knows before it downloads
Age-restricted videos are detected up front rather than failing halfway through. Clips are filed per video in your Videos folder, or wherever you point it.
Every clip, kept
The right-hand panel remembers everything you have pulled: thumbnail, title, channel, range, size and when. Before you download, it shows which resolutions the source actually has.
- InsertSend it to the timeline again, at the playhead. No re-download.
- PlayPreview the clip in your default player before you commit it.
- Copy linkThe original source URL, back on your clipboard.
- Copy title / channelClick the title or the channel name to copy it. Handy for credits.
- Open folderReveal the file on disk. Clips are filed one folder per video.
- Bulk trashTick the clips you are done with and delete them together.
Install
One download, then tell your editor about it (see the cards above).
Windows 10 / 11
- Download the .exe and run it. Nothing else to install.
- First launch fetches yt-dlp, ffmpeg and Deno, and walks you through enabling your editor.
- Defender may flag the unsigned build once. Checksums are on the release page.
macOS, Apple Silicon
- Install ffmpeg first:
brew install ffmpeg - Download the .dmg, open it and drag YEETingus to Applications.
- Gatekeeper may object once: right-click → Open. First launch fetches yt-dlp and Deno and sets up your editor.
Good to know
- yt-dlp, ffmpeg and Deno are fetched on first launch, not bundled. On macOS, run
brew install ffmpegfirst. - Apple Silicon has no AV1 encoder, so Macs use HEVC for both editors. Intel Macs and Linux are untested.
- Builds are unsigned, so Defender or Gatekeeper may object once. Checksums and the reasoning are in the readme.
- No auto-update yet; check the releases page now and then. Drop-frame timelines can land a frame or two off the playhead.
- MIT licensed. No telemetry, no analytics, no account.

DaVinci Resolve and DaVinci Resolve Studio are trademarks of Blackmagic Design Pty Ltd. Adobe, Premiere and Premiere Pro are trademarks of Adobe Inc. in the United States and other countries. Those names appear on this site only to describe which editors YEETingus can talk to. No logos, icons or other brand assets of either company are used here or in the app.
Not affiliated with YouTube, Twitch or any video platform
YouTube is a trademark of Google LLC. Twitch is a trademark of Twitch Interactive, Inc., an Amazon company. YEETingus has no relationship with either, nor with any other site a link may point to. Those platforms have their own terms of service, and many of them prohibit downloading content without the rights holder's permission. Whether you may use this tool on a given site is between you and that site.
You are responsible for what you download
YEETingus is intended for media you own, media you have been licensed to use, openly licensed material, and promotional material you have been given permission to cut. It does nothing to check any of that. You are responsible for making sure that downloading, storing and editing a given clip is lawful where you are and permitted by the source. Copyright, fair use and fair dealing differ by country; nothing here is legal advice.
Built on other people's tools
The downloading, cutting and encoding are done by yt-dlp, ffmpeg and Deno. They are separate projects, fetched from their own official releases on first launch rather than bundled, and each is covered by its own licence. Credit for the hard parts belongs to them. YEETingus is not affiliated with those projects either.
No warranty
YEETingus is released under the MIT licence and provided as is, without warranty of any kind, express or implied. Video platforms change how they serve video without notice, and a release that works today can stop working tomorrow. Use it at your own risk. There is no auto-update; check the releases page.
Your data
No telemetry, no analytics, no crash reporting, no account. The app's only network traffic is fetching the three tools above and the video you paste. Builds are unsigned, so Windows Defender or macOS Gatekeeper may warn you the first time; SHA-256 checksums for every build are on the release page so you can verify what you downloaded.
