The Geny version of YouTube will be having one very ausumm feature by which you can hover your mouse to any point in the video, without actually moving the playhead, and the YouTube player would show an image thumbnail of the video frames at that very position. Thus with this you could easily grab a visual gist of the whole video during buffering.
YouTube Storyboards
YouTube, as known, generates three thumbnail images to represent a video and these images are captured using the frames at around 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 points in the video. For eg, if a YouTube video clip is of 60 seconds , the image thumbnails would be generated around frames at the 15s, 30s and 45s mark successively.
For the new upgraded youtube player, YouTube generates jawdropping Storyboard of upto100 thumbnails per video and the thumbnails images are arranged in the Storyboard of 10x10 mesh . On hovering your mouse to different points in the video player, it quickly grabs the corresponding thumbnail of that position from the dashboard.
This saves a lot of time coz it makes you to switch over the most happenning portions of a video based on the scenes . This provides you to skip the video completely if the description doesn't tallys the inner thumbnails.
