Adobe Launches Premiere Express

Free, web based video remixing and editing - create your own mash-ups at MTV, YouTube and PhotoBucket

This looks like a lot of fun. Many have predicted that online video editing will supplant computer based video editing sometime in the future. Companies like EyeSpot, Jumpcut, Cuts, Motionbox and others have already provided online video editing and now Adobe has joined the party.

Adobe is pioneering a new way to deliver its industry-leading creative software technologies online, with Adobe Premiere Express. 

Adobe Premiere Express is a free, Web-based video remix and editing technology that is easy and fun to use.  The application's user interface is all drag-and-drop and designed for even novice Web users. With Adobe Premiere Express, users can quickly create and edit mash-up style Web videos by combining video clips, music, photos, effects, transitions and titles.

Adobe Premiere Express is available free to users on YouTube.com and
MTV.com. At MTV.com, site visitors can remix Kelly Clarkson's new video,
Never Again to enter a contest to win a chance for MTV to play their
music video remix on the MTV network. The contest runs through June 27.

The technology is available on YouTube's TestTube site, where users can edit and assemble new videos and publish their remixes to YouTube.
Photobucket's 44 million users have had the ability to create video
remixes and slideshows with Adobe Premiere Express since February, 2007.

Adobe Premiere Express is a lightweight Flash-based Web application, and does not require plug-ins or special software downloads. Adobe Premiere Express requires Flash 9.

You will need to upload videos to Photobucket and YouTube to use Adobe Premiere Express.  To try out Adobe Premiere Express, go to these Web sites
