is there any one that can show me how to get a video to preview at the same time another video is playing on youtube like on this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRNm6r6O-5k&feature=sub about at the 1:45 spot is where it comes up.

Thanks

Ah yes. I did something like that for a client in Abu Dubia for a TV show - who wanted the video playing, exactly to what you saw on that youtube video.

Now, I don't know what software he used, but I used sony vegas pro.

I'm not sure what your level of editing video is but here goes..

1. We have two videos.
2. We import the first video in sony vegas. So the first video is the MAIN video on Layer One.
3. We then import the next one and sure it's on a Layer ABOVE the first video we imported.
4. Then we right click on our mouse and choose Video Even Crop tool, and zoom out to make this particular clip small and move it to left.

That's it, done.

Thanks for the post Adam. I personally use Adobe Premier but yes, you use the same technique.

The way he makes it link to the past video, is by using what is called an Annotation on YouTube. It is under the settings for the video. Then he just overlays the annotation on the mini video in the corner and sets the link to the video on YouTube.

Hope that answers your question Derrick. Let us know if you need any more detail.

Ah yes, that would work for youtube. Haven't tried it that way, but only because I use other share video site, so like to embed it in manually so I can just send to all to the sites.

Cool trick though with youtube.
