Preview on Youtube

Youtube has launched a new preview video feature, Youtube Preview , which helps to find the right moment in a long video clip. The function works very simply: just hover the cursor on the scroll bar - and a reduced copy of the frame is shown, which is located approximately in the specified location. Many of us know this feature very well, it has long been on those sites where preview is important.



The preview is instantly updated if you move the mouse to another part of the scroll bar.

If you hold the mouse along the strip, then Youtube shows a whole range of time-lapse scanning.

For films of more than 90 minutes, this feature works in a more complicated way: an additional small scroll bar is displayed, on which one and a half minutes of video is placed, and already on it you can watch frames (one frame per second).



The new functionality is gradually rolling out for the entire audience, within a few weeks it will be available to every Youtube user. So far, the preview only works in flash, in the HTML player it is not so easy to implement.
