One thing that's difficult is choosing the finishing time on the video. For example if it's 5 seconds or something, the two end points are really close.
What do you think about beta.gifyoutube.com? It's a little different mechanics for choosing start time (which I'm not the best fan of), but maybe it's a little easier for end time.
I'm actually not really sure on this. We were going to try some A|B testing but the beta GYT isn't 100% ready
