Cut out a piece of video on YouTube Windows

Sometimes it is necessary to place a video from YouTube on a site, but there is no need to publish the entire video, but only a part. There should be no difficulty with this. It is enough to use the built-in functions of YouTube itself. And add a couple of symbols to the code.

Instructions on how to cut a fragment from a video on YouTube

First, you need to decide on a video and, most importantly, on a piece of this video on YouTube that you need for a blog or website. For example, we need that moment from the now popular Druzhko Show. Namely, that moment where he levitates. You won't believe it until you see it with your own eyes

  • Let's go to the video https://youtu.be/1pJBh8h49hQ
  • Find the right moment. The levitation itself begins at 11 minutes 40 seconds and ends at 11.45
  • Scroll down to the bottom of the video and find the share button
  • Click on it and select the HTML code
  • Let's copy it

Cut out a piece of video on YouTube

Here is the code itself

<iframe width=»560″ height=»315″ src=»https://www.youtube.com/embed/1pJBh8h49hQ» frameborder=»0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>

Now we'll need some basic math knowledge... or a calculator.

Add and multiply

11:40 = 11 minutes and 40 seconds = 11* 60 +40 = 700 seconds

11:45 = 11 minutes and 45 seconds = 11* 60 +45 = 705 seconds

We will need this data to insert at the end of the video. Now in the code itself we find the link to the video and add our magic code there

?start=Start time&end=End

Where Start time we set 700, and End put 705. After the work is done, the embed code for the site or blog should look something like this

<iframe width=»560″ height=»315″ src=»https://www.youtube.com/embed/1pJBh8h49hQ?start=700&end=705» frameborder=»0″ allowfullscreen>

Changes are marked in red

If everything went well, then by pasting the code into the site you should see the following

When you start the video, it will start from the moment we specified and end where you specified. If something didn't work, you need to check the code for errors. Usually you miss some symbol and that's why the video doesn't work or isn't displayed when you insert it into the site. By the way, you can check the code in any online HTML code checker

As you can see, there is nothing complicated in how to cut a fragment from a video on YouTube
