Finally YouTube Adds Pre-Load Jumps
by Allen Stern on October 27th, 2007
One of the reasons I love the Viddler player (CN Coverage) is because you can jump to whatever spot you want inside the video. If you want to see the winning run when the Yankees beat the Red Sox, you could jump right to it. With YouTube, you couldn’t jump until that portion of the video loaded. If the video is long that could take a bit.
Well it looks like they have added the ability to jump to any point in the video. I am not sure if this is part of the upcoming redesign, but this feature is new to me. Thank you YouTube.
To demonstrate, I have embedded the pop princess’s latest track, "Gimme More" below. It’s 4:00 in length, just jump to 3:30 upon immediate load to lessen the pain of listening to the entire track.
