A little about me...
There used to be more here but we all lost so much on 3/11. Placeholder: This Sifter is a citizen-soldier with a commercial pilot's license and a degree in history. I live in the best city of the world's third best country: Montreal, Canada. I am a pillar of Sift, but unsung, since I make too many comments that are cryptic and baffling and not enough that are zesty and sexy. I submit an awful lot of music, much of which takes a year to get sifted, because you are all philistines.

You just edit the embed to include a start=secs parameter, with the number of seconds into the video you want it to start. You have to do this for both (or at least the 2nd) url, the first one puts the red dot at the start point, the 2nd actually starts there.

The one you were looking at was:


<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="500" height="401"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BtJuoAl8iWE?version=3&controls=1&fs=1&border=0&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&iv_load_policy
=3&loop=0&egm=0&rel=0&showsearch=0&start=90&modestbranding=0&showinfo=0&theme=dark"/><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BtJuoAl8iWE?version=3&controls=1&fs=1&border=0&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&iv_load_policy=3
&loop=0&egm=0&rel=0&showsearch=0&start=90&modestbranding=0&showinfo=0&theme=dark" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="500" height="401"/></object>


I don't normally put the start= in the middle like that, I normally put it after the theme=dark.

There are other options you can tweak, documented here:
http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/player_parameters.html

I found mention of a chrome thingy to do it for you if you use chrome:

Obviously pros and cons vs using lucky's vs submit one.

Now if you just want a segment out of the middle... then you have to use tubechop.

Opo, how'd you get the video embed with a specific start time? I thought that only worked with the URL.

oritteropo says...

Me too. I'm withdrawing and re-grouping for the moment, the scattergun approach of calling quality or promote hasn't worked out for this one. I think it has a rather niche target, or else people need to be persuaded that Deer Tick is a cool indie band and not just a sure fire way to get Lyme's disease

Thanks O! I'd love to see this thing hit 10!
