Share snippits of YouTube videos with SceneMaker
Have you ever wanted to show someone 5 seconds of a video off YouTube, but have had to make them watch the entire 3 minute video clip to get to that important 5 seconds?SceneMaker is designed to allow you to select a portion of a video off of YouTube, Metacafe, Google, or DailyMotion and share just that portion of the video with your friends without having to show them to the entire original video.
Creating your own scenes is fairly easy. You upload a video to the site using the original videos URL, and then select an in ands out point for your scene by pressing a start and stop button within SceneMaker while the video is playing.
