You can find bunch of video sharing/mixing services that are available in market, but Eyespot is one of the first online video editor that is Ajax Powered and available free to use. The innovative aspect of eyespot is video remixing. Also If you find out any video you like on eyespot? Add it to your account with one click, mix it with your own videos, and publish it back to the eyespot community.
Eyespot allows the users to import clips, rearange, trim clips, add music and publish to your blog. This could be a quick and simple way to get people vlogging without needing really any knowledge of editing software. Another nice feature of these services is that you don't need to worry about compression or hosting, since the video is already online!
Michael who recently released ajaxWrite is also one of the invester in EyeSpot.
He writes on How's EyeSpot works. First, you need to get your videos into the online account eyespot provides. One handy method is to shoot video with your cell phone and send it as an MMS message to your eyespot account, e.g. michael@eyespot.com or whatever your username may be. The video usually shows up in your account in less than 30 seconds. You can also email audio tracks you want to use as background music.
For videos already on your PC, eyespot supports uploads in most popular formats (.wmv, .avi, .mov, .divx, etc.) up to 25MB in size. Eyespot uses ajax on the upload page to give real-time upload status. This is a nice touch since most video hosting sites give you no feedback during upload, which leaves you wondering if they are even working.
The real magic happens in the Mixer, where you can edit your videos, add soundtracks and more in a point and click manner. First you drag and drop video clips or photos onto a timeline. Then you drag an mp3 file into the timeline as a soundtrack. Click the "create this mix" link, wait a few seconds, and the mix is done. The same functionality can literally take anywhere from 15 minutes to many hours with desktop video editing software. Remember, there's no software to purchase or install - this all happens inside a web page.
Eyespot is off to a stunning start on their bold vision to provide an ajax video editing platform and will eventually challenge products like Apple's iMovie, Microsoft's MovieMaker, and Adobe Premiere for all smaller video editing needs. At the same time, they are proving that just about anything is possible using ajax. Watch the video of the Mixer and sign up for you own free account to see for yourself.
