How to Quickly Fast Forward YouTube Video With Your Keyboard [Quick Tips]
By | November 1, 2010 |
While watching YouTube videos, you might come across some scenes that are stupidly boring and you just want to skip ahead to get to the next interesting scene. Other than the mouse, you can also use the keyboard to quickly fast forward (or rewind) the YouTube video. Let’s see how it can be done:
Trick 1: Fast forward/Rewind the video
To fast forward the video, you just have to press the “right” arrow key on your keyboard. Similarly, press the “left” arrow button to rewind the video.
Trick 2: Skip to a particular section of the video
To skip to a particular section of the video, you can press “1, 2, 3…” or any number button to skip to 10%, 20%, 30%.. of the video. Press “0″ to go back to the start.
Note:
1. Trick 2 does not work in full screen and embedded mode.
2. Both tricks work when the video is playing or is paused.
3. In Firefox, if you have enabled the “search for text when typing” feature, you will have to click on the YouTube player to give it focus before you can perform trick 2.

No Video Editor? No Problem – Try JayCut Online
By | October 14, 2010 |
At first, it seems so simple. If you want to record a video, just flip on your webcam, record, and upload to something like YouTube. But when you go to do it, you might run into some of the same problems I did. What’s the best software for recording? How does it handle audio? What’s the best output codec? Does it run in Linux? These any many other stumbling blocks catch me every time I try to work with video. What if there were a website that could handle all this? One that could let me edit, sequence, and dub my video. One that could add text and transitions and – as long as we’re dreaming – send my video right to YouTube when I’m done? Well as you’ve probably guessed by now, there is, and it’s called JayCut.
