I can't get annotations to work! Help!

[justcat]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to add an annotation to the end of my video, pointing it to my previous video. I go to the annotation tab of the video via creator studio.
This is where things get weird...
Sometime, the dark grey time thing with the slider appears and sometimes it doesn't - I have to refresh the page loads of times to get this to come up. Then, I click on add annotation and then go to move the slider. I click and drag it to where I want it to go, but when I let go it just disappears!

Is anyone else having issues like this?

I'm using Chrome but I've also tried IE which didn't help.

Check the start time of the annotation, sometimes that happens to me i realize that the start time was different than where I had initially dragged the annotation.

thanks but no annotation appears! The drag thing is gone and if I click on edit annotations it says there aren't any.

That's odd, maybe try using a different browser?

I'll try firefox too

That sounds weird. Do You have any extensions or plugins which could interfere with Youtube?

OMG! You were right! I had smart video installed as I had a problem a while back with Youtube videos buffering! Thank you so much!
