This add-on automatically embeds existing videos into Anki cards. This allows you to display a small video within the card without popping up the video player. (Video size: 240p, 426px wide).

This embedded video is for display purposes only and the add-on does not directly change the card content or templates, so if you disable the add-on the video display will revert to its original state.

How to use

Once installed the add-on will run automatically so you don't need to configure it unless needed.

When you launch Anki, this add-on searches your media folder for .mp4 video files and automatically generates small embedded videos. The generated videos are saved locally in the add-on folder, and these videos will not put a strain on your AnkiWeb server (deck sync).

[sound:Example.mp4] -> Example.webm (display only)

If video conversion is too slow or fails, please install ffmpeg on your PC. If ffmpeg is already installed and available on your PC the add-on will auto use ffmpeg to convert the video as quickly as possible.

If you don't know how to install FFmpeg please use this my add-on.

• addon: FFmpeg Downloader for Anki (by Shigeඞ)

If there are multiple videos or audio tracks, the embedded video will not autoplay because the audio tracks would overlap.

The embedded video will not be displayed while the video is still being generated, instead the MPV video player will pop up as usual. In this case please check the progress using the "Convert Video" option.

The video quality has been intentionally set to low for faster conversion. You can select high quality using the options, but in that case conversion may take 10 minutes or more. (depending on the video's length.)
