Photobucket to Introduce Web-based Video Editing Capablities

Yesterday, Adobe and Photobucket announced a partnership to introduce basic online video editing capabilities into Photobucket. Once the flash based video editor is implemented, users can perform rudimentary functions like remixing their photos and home videos with music, video caption and transition. The web-based video editor is also said to have clip trimming and splitting features as well.

The video editor is said to be very user friendly with AJAX drag and drop interface. Users can not just edit their videos, but they can also play with videos publicly shared by other users. At this point, the web-based video editing features are enabled only to Photobucket Pro users as a limited period beta; it’s expected to be available for everyone (free) by early March.

Today, Photobucket occupies the third slot among the top video sharing sites with 35,000 videos being uploaded each day, they are just trailing behind YouTube and MySpace. With these new video editing capabilities in place, Photobucket hopes to dismantle desktop based video editors and gain an edge over its competitors. For Adobe, this is just the beginning of their partnership with several other internet companies.

    [...]  Photoshop is undoubtedly the best image editing tool for both Windows and Mac, but it comes with a heavy price tag of 649$.
