Embedding YouTube Clips

Embedding YouTube Clips

 

So here's how it works: let's say I want to embed a clip of Aaron Curry absolutely dominating Clemson. What I do is find the URL of the YouTube clip:

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1waonOFv20

 

Then I copy the part of the URL that comes after v=, and paste it in between youtube tags, like this:

 

[youtube]A1waonOFv20[/youtube]

After that, I click the post button, and I end up with an awesome embedded clip:

 

 

 

Embedding ESPN Clips

 

ESPN clips are embedded in a similar way. First, find the URL of the page on which the clip is displayed. Here's an example:

 

http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=3893342

 

Copy the part of the URL that comes after id=, and paste it in between espn tags, like this:

 

[espn]3893342[/espn]

After that, click the post button, and you'll end up with something like this:

 

 

 

Embedding Hulu Clips

 

This one's a bit more complicated. First, find the clip you want to embed. On the upper left-hand corner of the clip, you'll see an 'Embed' button. Click on that, after which you'll be given a ton of code like this:

 

<object width="512" height="296"><param name="movie" value="http://www.hulu.com/embed/EZZFfvn6BuD8Jx-al3Q44Q"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.hulu.com/embed/EZZFfvn6BuD8Jx-al3Q44Q" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" width="512" height="296"></embed></object>

 

Copy the part of the code that comes after http://www.hulu.com/embed/ and paste it in between hulu tags, like this:

 

[hulu]EZZFfvn6BuD8Jx-al3Q44Q[/hulu]

 

After that, click the post button, and you'll end up with something like this:

I've seen the "shift happen" video before but I still think it gives a magnificent perspective on both our past and our future.

 

Thanks, Todd, for sharing it.

Wow, what a cool feature.

 

This is going to be a blast on the RAC 'n ROLLS I mean ROCK-n- ROLL board.

 

Thanks Al and everybody else for giving us this killer feature.

[Guest Aloysius]

No problem, Russ. Though my initial reason for wanting to install the feature was to post draft clips (have a clip being processed by YouTube right now...), I figured that you guys over at the ROCK-n-ROLL board would get a kick out of it as well.

 

Thanks again to Stan for allowing it to be added to the board.

Thanks to Dan in Florida

Yeah, you put 'youtube' in between [] brackets, then insert the clip id. After that, you put in '/youtube' in between brackets. So your end result will look something like this:

 

[youtube]clip id[/youtube]

Feel free to experiment with it in this thread. If it's not working for you, I should be able to figure out why.

I tarded out for awhile remembering how to do these so I have some advice.

 

IMO, the easiest way to do these is to go directly to the YouTube link in your browser and copy what comes after =. Paste it here and then highlight it. After that, click on wrap in Code Tags above. That will give you the code wrapped and all you have to do at that point is backspace out the letters and replace with youtube. Make sure to leave the forward slash and wallah, you have something kickass like this:

 

 

BTW, if you're afraid to look like a tool go and practice on one of the dead forums if you want.

Hey whats up guys. This is my first post here. Let me try the youtube thing out.

 

[Guest Aloysius]

Welcome to the board.

 

For the embed feature to work, you post the part of the link that comes after v=. So you'd post this for your clip:

And you'd get this:
