EDU 206: Survey of Exceptional Individuals

Creating a Custom Clip in YouTube

  1. First, determine where you would like your clip to start and end.  For the purpose of this tutorial, we'll start at 1 minute and end at 1 minute and 45 seconds.  
     
  2. On YouTube, click the Share link of the video you want to clip.

     
  3. Copy the link provided.


     
  4. Open up a blank Word document or a Notepad file.  Paste in the link you just copied.  



     
  5. Now you'll need to modify the code slightly.  The sequence of letters and numbers after the final slash is your YouTube video id.  Add that video ID to the following link:

    http://www.youtube.com/embed/

    In the example below, the highlighted area is the video ID.  
     
  6. Now you can add the details to customize your code.  First, add a "?" behind the link.  Then add any of the following, in any order.  Separate all with an ampersand (&).  
    • To start at a specific spot (1 minute in), add start=xx, where xx is the desired starting place in seconds.  In this example, then, add start=60.
    • To end at a specific spot (1 minute, 45 seconds in), add end=xx, where xx is the desired ending place in seconds.  In this example, then, add end=105.
    • To start playing automatically, add autoplay=1.  To not play automatically, add autoplay=0.
