How to Crop YouTube Videos in Seconds

Both SnipSnip.it and Splicd bring users an easy way to quickly crop out sections of YouTube videos by simply inputting the video’s url and timestamp.

Using both SnipSnip.it and Splicd, you will able to alter and crop (or deep link) your favourite news blooper in seconds to display only the best part. Obviously none of this is groundbreaking stuff but considering the amount of videos you've personally received with time stamp notes appended, it stands to reason that these services might not be common knowledge among social media enthusiasts.

If you've been guilty of sharing lengthy videos that only contain a second or two of relevant information, these services may be perfect for you and they’re both free. It might also be of some value to bloggers, by using SnipSnip.it / Spicd, only vital information is shared, a bit cleaner than adding time stamp instructions into the video's caption.
