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. Once a video clip is created you are prompted to name the clip, and add tags and a description of the video. You can create multiple clips from one piece of video and you can email a link to those clips to friends or embed them on your website.

SceneMaker could be great for those funny video clips that you have to sit through 2 and a half minutes of un-funny to get to, or for sharing a small part of an interview or speech with a friend without making them sit through the entire thing.

That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
