If you show videos as part of your teaching/training etc., and/or use video evidence, SnipSnip.it could be useful for skipping over the parts of a video you don't need learners/assessors/verifiers... to watch.

Another benefit of SnipSnip.it is that when the videos playback they are displayed on a blank canvas devoid of the distracting and sometimes inappropriate "related videos" that appear on YouTube.

To use SnipSnip.it...

  • copy the link (URL) of a YouTube video;
  • paste it into SnipSnip.it; and then
  • enter the start and end times for the section of video you want to share.

After you've completed those steps SnipSnip.it will generate...

  • a link; here is the link I made earlier, pinpointing the lunar eclipse - http://snipsnip.it/a7d02xni4r5/; and
  • an embed code that will play just the section of video you selected; I've embedded my first effort below...
