Excerpt post only for certain post

You might be able to do this using custom fields.

<?php if( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'long_post', true) ) the_excerpt();
else the_content(); ?>

I would use Post Formats.

For videos, use the “video” Post Format type, and then:

if ( has_post_format( 'video' ) ) {
     the_content();
} else {
     the_excerpt();
}

thanks guys!

@all,

this does also work:

“Oh, why can’t you remain like this for ever!” This was all that passed between them on the subject, but henceforth Wendy knew that she must grow up. You always know after you are two. Two is the beginning of the end.

It is the nightly custom of every good mother after her children are asleep to rummage in their minds and put things straight for next morning, repacking into their proper places the many articles that have wandered during the day.
