 * Open ''uncut.ts'' in mpv to start cutting
 * Skim through the video to find the start
-  * mark it by hitting ''-'' (or whichever keybind you set)
+  * mark it by hitting ''Ctrl+5'' (or whichever keybind you set)
-  * jump back to it with ''Ctrl+-''
+  * jump back to it with ''Shift+5''

 Using ''echo'' works best since some text editors like to create temporary lock files which isn't allowed on the FUSE file system.
+==== Tips
+  * [[https://github.com/po5/thumbfast|thumbfast]] can generate thumbnails live, for instance when hovering over a seek bar, which can help find the start and end of a talk faster. (Note: it needs to be used with a UI script, and supports most MPV UIs)
+  * [[https://github.com/po5/evafast|evafast]] gives fast-forward and seeking on the same key, which is rather convenient.
+  * [[https://github.com/CounterPillow/mpv-quack|quack]] reduces the volume when seeking, to avoid torturing one's ears during cutting
+For nix users: those are all packaged, and can be added with
+<code>
+programs.mpv.scripts = with pkgs.mpvScripts; [
+  evafast
+  quack
+  thumbfast # NOTE: useless on its own, combine with its builtin osc.lua, or with alt. OSCs like uosc
+];
+</code>
