I find it incredibly useful to be able to toggle styles on and off in a simple GUI, especially for these two simple global styles:
video { /* flip video horizontally */
transform: scaleX(-1) !important;
}
or
/** scale videos that were originally 4:3, but
were encoded as 16:9 into proper 4:3 again */
video {
transform: scaleX(0.75) !important;
}
It's not extremely useful, but every time I toggle them on, I'm very happy that I added them both.
- the_pwner224 6y agoOut of curiosity, what do you use the first flip horizontally style for?
- bastawhiz 6y agoNot OP, but there's a lot of unscrupulous videos out there that flip video horizontally to evade content matching algorithms, and plenty of videos taken on phones or web cams that get flipped as well
- pvorb 6y agoMost video call software will show your own webcam stream flipped horizontally to make it feel like a mirror, but others will see it correctly.
- markussss 6y agoTo flip videos that have been flipped, or for watching a video in the mirror. Maybe it's 1 in 100 videos, or even less, but it's so nice to be able to just toggle a button that flips the video properly.
