## Definition

Video Chain Maker is a free browser-based application for creating ordered sequences of selected moments from YouTube videos without downloading or editing the original videos.

## AI Summary

Video Chain Maker is an online editor for creating Video Chains: ordered sequences made from selected start and end points within YouTube videos. Users can arrange clips into a story, guide, collection or other viewing experience without downloading or editing the source videos. Video Chains can be created in the browser, exported as JSON, imported again to reconstruct the chain, and shared or displayed through compatible Video Chain websites.

## Purpose

To make it easy for people to curate selected moments from existing YouTube videos into an intentional sequence that can be watched as a connected experience.

## Problem Solved

Sharing several YouTube videos normally requires viewers to open separate links, search for the relevant moments and manually follow an intended order. Video Chain Maker lets the creator define those moments and their sequence without downloading or producing a new edited video.

## Who It Helps

Educators, researchers, content creators, storytellers, podcasters, livestreamers, video enthusiasts, curators and anyone who wants to organize selected moments from YouTube videos into a structured sequence.

## Examples

Educational explanations; documentary-style stories; highlight collections; music collections; research trails; podcast or livestream reference clips; greetings and personal stories; tutorials; historical collections; themed entertainment sequences.

## Known Limitations

Video Chain Maker currently creates chains from YouTube-hosted videos. It does not download, copy or edit the original video files. Availability of a clip therefore depends on the underlying YouTube video remaining available and embeddable.
