html - In HTML5 Video , how to play a small clip from a long video?

Question

I would like to show a small clip from a long video file that is over 10 minutes long. This segment of video would start at time offset /seek time of 90 seconds and would have a duration of 45 seconds . How can I do that ?

Answer 1

HTML5 video also supports the Media Fragment URI spec. This will allow you to specify only a segment of the video to play. Using it is fairly trivial:

<source src="video.mp4#t=30,45" type="video/mp4"/>

Will start the video at the 30 second mark and pause the video at the 45 second mark.
