EmbedPlus Can ‘Enhance’ YouTube Videos for Commentary, Context, Linkage
Here’s a tool to help annotate and direct people to points of interest in any last minute campaign rally videos or the CNN punch-drunkness vids hopefully to come after tomorrow night’s election coverage.
A few weeks ago we highlighted TubeChop as an easy-to-use tool for highlighting parts of a YouTube video relevant to your story. EmbedPlus is another such tool, but with a handful of other additional, useful features.
EmbedPlus, available as a Chrome extension, WordPress plugin and simple wizard, allows you as a journalist to (among other things):
- Annotate YouTube videos, placing your own text and links (perhaps “explainers” or more context) at designated times
- Crop videos to the interesting or relevant portions, per the same idea we outlined for TubeChop
- Mark several jump-to points (“chapters”) relevant to your coverage, so a reader doesn’t have to go searching
- Provide quick access to conversations (“reactions”) to the YouTube video on social platforms...
