A quick post on the news that Youtube has added a function to be able to link directly to a portion (a specific timestamp) of a video. So if you want to highlight a particular part of the video,you can modify the url to include this start timepoint.
E.g. Just pop #t=1m45s on the end of the normal url, to get the clip to start at 1 minute 45 seconds in.
Example:
So, you've found a neat move you want to share, or show your dance partner. For example: uk.youtube.com/watch?v=wOiYFWCBlUw
the uploader has been so generous as to add captions, and comments within and on top of the clip, to help out even more.
So the move: "Loop over locks" could be linked as follows:
Angle 1:
uk.youtube.com/watch?v=wOiYFWCBlUw#t0m35s
Angle 2:
uk.youtube.com/watch?v=wOiYFWCBlUw#t1m11s
In depth analysis of the move:
uk.youtube.com/watch?v=wOiYFWCBlUw#t5m28s
or if you want to play around: #t4m14s hehe, but the system has the potential for something a bit more useful*. If you want to show a specific timerange, there are sites like splicd.com that will also allow a specific endpoint.
e.g. splicd.com/7UMCEU7O5bk/24/38
or splicd.com/od51Y0w4KSw/88/96 showing a piece of Edie and Alex doing a move with a longer musicality demo clip.
I'm sure there must be a way to link these (either the splicd versions, or the youtube versions) into a playlist? uvlayer.com can do playlists, but you can't do direct url input into the playlist yet.
*With something like DownloadHelper for FF, and some scripting say in Automator, using iMovie, you could be able to, once you have a list of timepoints for specfic moves, make individual clips of moves you want to look at. You wouldn't need even necessarily to download the clips from the web, if you're getting a video podcast subscription, or have converted your DVD's into a nice useful H.264 format for example.
