New Feature: Embed videos with a specific start point

We've always tried to make embedding a video as easy as possible. Recently, we added the ability to link to a specific point in a video, but it wasn't clear how to embed with a specific start point. If you want to share a specific part of a video on your blog or website, these directions should be helpful.

1. Get the embed code (Click on the 'Embed - Blog - Post to MySpace' button, and then the 'Embed HTML' link):

2. Copy the code, and insert the following

FlashVars="initialTime=number"

Where "number" is the time in seconds. For now, you can only specify seconds for embedded videos.

An example of embed code using this time parameter is:

<embed FlashVars="initialTime=2171" style="width:400px; height:326px;" id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=-4935715412555856092">
</embed>

It looks like this:




And if you want, you can combine this with autoplay as well:

<embed FlashVars="autoPlay=true&initialTime=2171" style="width:400px; height:326px;" id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=-4935715412555856092">
</embed>
