Online personal media company Photobucket, has launched a new service, featuring lightweight, web-based video remix and editing technology powered by Adobe Systems. The Adobe web-based video remix and editing technology is available online as part of the Photobucket user experience, and is currently offered as a Beta application.

Photobucket users can now combine images, videos, text, and music to create personalized videos or 'mashups' of content from their Photobucket albums, without requiring any additional downloads.

"At Photobucket we're committed to helping our users get the most out of their personal media, and have fun doing so," said Alex Welch, CEO, Photobucket. "Collaborating with Adobe gives our millions of users a simple way to create mashups that showcase their personality and creativity. Users can either broadcast these mashups widely, or share with a small group of friends and family."

Adobe's web-based video remix and editing technology is a Flash-based application built using Adobe Flex, and delivers video editing capabilities pioneered by Adobe Premiere Pro and Premiere Elements.

Using Adobe's web-based video remix and editing technology, Photobucket users can combine images and video with captions, bubbles, frames, transitions, music, and other effects by dragging and dropping content to a sceneline. Clips and content can be reordered, trimmed, and split directly in the sceneline in a web-based environment. Users can work with content from their own albums, or access over 2.5 billion publicly-shared images and videos on Photobucket.

Once editing is complete, the resulting video mashup can be embedded into any web page, blog, or social network profile by copying and pasting a snippet of HTML code. The mashup can also be shared with family and friends using Photobucket's built-in sharing tools. Photobucket recently launched features to enable quick and easy posting to blog services and social networks such as Blogger, Xanga, LiveJournal, MySpace, Bebo, and Facebook directly from within a Photobucket album.

Photobucket video is free to all its users, and members can upload videos in any standard video format (mpeg, avi, Divx, etc).

Adobe's web-based video remix and editing technology opens directly in the browser on Photobucket's website, and requires Adobe Flash 9 to operate.

This technology is initially available via limited public beta to Photobucket Pro users, and will be available for free to Photobucket's entire user base of 35 million members by early March 2007. Users can access the product directly from their albums by clicking on a button in their album.
