🎬 How to Create a Custom Playlist of YouTube Video Segments 🔗

Have you ever wanted to share the best moments from a bunch of different YouTube videos without forcing your friends to sit through hours of fluff? Maybe you want to compile the best guitar solos, the funniest movie quotes, or the most insightful minutes of a 3-hour podcast.

Instead of dealing with clunky video editing software, you can use our simple text-based tool above to create a seamless playlist of specific YouTube video parts.

Here is everything you need to know to start building your ultimate highlight reel.

📑 Table of Contents 🔗

🛠️ How It Works 🔗

The tool relies on a very simple text format. For every video segment you want to add to your playlist, you just need to write down three things on a single line:

VideoID StartSeconds EndSeconds

🔍 1. Find the VideoID 🔗

Every YouTube video has a unique ID in its URL. It’s the string of random letters and numbers that comes right after v=.

• Example URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpASSx0ecTU
• Video ID: XpASSx0ecTU

⏱️ 2. Determine Your Start and End Times 🔗

Find the exact moments you want your clip to start and end, and convert those times into total seconds.

• Example: If you want a clip to start at the 5-minute mark and end at 5 minutes and 10 seconds, your start time is 300 (5 minutes × 60 seconds) and your end time is 310.

🧩 3. Put It Together 🔗

Using the examples above, a single entry in your playlist would look exactly like this: XpASSx0ecTU 300 310

You can add as many clips as you want. Just press Enter and add the next video on a new line!

⚡ Features & Pro-Tips 🔗

• Real-Time Edits: You don’t have to hit save or refresh to see your changes. Edits made in the text box are automatically reflected as soon as the next video in your queue begins to play.
• Shareable Links: Want to show off your curation skills? The URL of the page automatically updates to contain all of your playlist data. Just copy the URL in your browser and send it to your friends.
• Try it out yourself: Click here to see a pre-made playlist of epic guitar solos (Note: Links open in a new tab!).
