Bonus tweak for web masters:

This is a bonus tweak for web masters about trimming only a part of YouTube video using the embed code provided on youtube.com. If web masters want to keep only a portion of YouTube video, they can chop that video using tubechop.com and pick that embed code on that site, but some web masters want to pick embed code only from youtube.com because YouTube’s embed code has many features to customize according to their needs.

Some of these features are as follows,

• Include related videos
• Show Border
• Enable privacy-enhanced mode
• Play in HD
• Player color & size customization

So, instead of trying other methods web masters prefer youtube.com embed code. Let’s look how to trim YouTube video from that embed code. Let’s begin,

• Copy the embed code of your favorite video.

Below is an example of untrimmed YouTube video embed code,

<object width=”480″ height=”385″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/ZI1Gst7pEqc&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0″></param><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param><param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always”></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/ZI1Gst7pEqc&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”480″ height=”385″></embed></object>

• Just insert &start=15&end=46 after the  YouTube URL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI1Gst7pEqc on that embed code. The 15 and 46 are seconds, i.e. start at 30 seconds and end at 46 seconds. Remember you need to insert  &start=15&end=46 code twice because YouTube video URL appears twice on that embed code. Kindly pay attention to the syntax too.

Below is an example of trimmed YouTube video embed code,

<object width=”480″ height=”385″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI1Gst7pEqc&start=30&end=90″></param><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param><param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always”></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI1Gst7pEqc&start=30&end=90″ width=”480″ height=”385″></embed></object>

• That’s it. Now you can paste / embed it on your site. Your YouTube video should show up without any problem. If it does not, make sure you have copied the correct code, modified it properly and pasted it in the right area. I hope this tweak helps some web masters.
