Animation Buddy study app

Hi! I love studying live action animation reference because of the necessary practice re-interpreting 3d moving things into 2d pictures, and building a strong sixth sense for motion which is perfect for animation and general gestural drawing.
Here's Toniko Pantoja's video on this exercise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y6Kkrlvzgs
Because I've done this exercise for many hours and as a result improved at producing art projects, I've spent hundreds of hours over two years making a tool for myself, and I thought others may want to try it!
- It downloads YouTube videos from the app itself when you have a URL on your clipboard
- Global hotkeys mean you can flip frames quickly without having to select the app - It's way faster at flipping frame-by-frame than any other app I've come across (and SO much more responsive than YouTube's period/comma keys; integral for studying motion)
- The window is always-on-top and super sleek and resizable and out-of-the-way
Hope this helps you guys in your studies!
