Bloody Youtube... · 11:25pm Sep 15th, 2014
Those of you enjoying "Sparkle In His Eye" are likely eagerly awaiting the next chapter. Well, I've actually started working on the chapter, but I've hit a snag.
There's one point where I want to insert the actual video from the game of the first Infobot displaying its message - actually, I'm thinking of using Youtube links for each Infobot - but I can't find it anywhere except as part of gameplay videos, and I can't figure out how to create a link to just play part of a video.
This is the best video I've found so far, and I need the segment from 8:19 to 9:24.
Could anyone possibly either make that segment its own video or figure out how to properly crop it for me and provide a link? I'd be really grateful if you could.
While it is possible to link to a specified time index in a video, it's not possible to link to just a segment of a video. I downloaded the video and re-uploaded the trimmed version onto my own account as an unlisted video and I'll PM you the link. (Unlisted videos don't appear in recommendations or search results, you can only find them if you have the url.)

Thank you very much. I can finish the chapter now!
Word of advice: using Youtube videos in a story is considered lazy by most and is frowned upon.

In this case, I'm using the video to cover a segment where the characters are literally watching a video, and showing the video they are watching. Not only is there literally no change from the games in those segments - and I'll be focusing my writing on where things have changed - but it would be pointless and close to impossible to convey the video in story based writing.
