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.

The YEETingus window: a video link, in and out points, quality and insert-at controls, the amber YEET into timeline button, and a clip history on the right.

How it works

Three panels in the app, three steps here.

  1. Paste a link

    YouTube, Twitch, X, or anything yt-dlp can read. A share link with ?t= fills the in point, and age-restricted videos are flagged before you download.

  2. Pick a range

    Type in and out points, or hit 15s, 30s, 60s or Whole. Choose a quality cap, where it lands, and a bin to keep a project's clips together.

  3. 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, on the first free track, at the timeline's frame rate.

DaVinci Resolve

AV1 on the GPU, up to 4K, HDR kept. Works with Studio and the free version, 18.1 or newer. Clips from a bin go to a Media Pool bin of the same name.

Studio: Preferences → System → General → External scripting using → Local

Free: add YEETingus from Settings → Add to Resolve's Scripts menu and restart Resolve. Then, each session, start YEETingus and click Workspace → Scripts → YEETingus once.

Premiere Pro

HEVC, because Premiere does not decode AV1. Version 25 or newer, with Creative Cloud installed. Clips from a bin go to a project bin of the same name.

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.

Queue it up

Flip the Queue switch and paste link after link. Three download side by side, each with its own progress. YEET them from the history when you are ready.

Bins for each project

Type a bin name, or hit Today, and every clip lands in its own folder and in a bin of the same name in your editor, until you change it.

Editor optional

A live status dot shows which project and timeline you are connected to. No editor open? Download only still works. In English or Polish.

Every clip, kept

The right-hand panel remembers everything you have pulled: thumbnail, title, bin, 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.
  • Filter by binClick a bin to show only its clips. The folder button then opens that bin.
  • Bulk insert or deleteTick several clips and YEET them into the timeline in order, or delete them together.

Install

One download, then tell your editor about it (see the cards above).

Windows 10 / 11

  1. Download the .exe and run it. Nothing else to install.
  2. First launch fetches yt-dlp, ffmpeg and Deno, and walks you through enabling your editor.
  3. Defender may flag the unsigned build once. Checksums are on the release page.

macOS, Apple Silicon

  1. Install ffmpeg first: brew install ffmpeg
  2. Download the .dmg, open it and drag YEETingus to Applications.
  3. Gatekeeper blocks it once: open it, then System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway. 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 ffmpeg first.
  • Apple Silicon has no AV1 encoder, so Macs encode HEVC on the GPU for Premiere and AV1 on the CPU for Resolve. Intel Macs and Linux are untested.
  • Builds are unsigned, so Defender or Gatekeeper may object once. Checksums and the reasoning are in the readme.
  • New versions are announced in the app, which offers the installer; it never updates itself. Turn the check off in Settings.
  • MIT licensed. No telemetry, no analytics, no account. English or Polish.
