SAN FRANCISCO – MiraVida Media is launching Jumpcut at this month’s NAB show in Las Vegas. The online video sharing and remixing – or mashing – service allows users to upload video and stills and then mix them together with video from other Jumpcut users. The realtime collaborative group movies can then be shared over the Internet.
Users do not need special software, and can instantly join the Jumpcut community. The service also allows members to use parts of other members’ movies in their own works, and to search for and find content.
Jumpcut (www.jumpcut.com) is currently a free service and is compatible with both Windows and Mac PCs. Users can upload files from a wide range of devices, including digital camcorders, digital still cameras, and PC devices. They can also import images from a Flickr account to use within movies, or to make video slideshows. Once a user finishes remixing a movie, Jumpcut enables the finished product to be shared instantly.
