- Google is releasing an update to its built-in YouTube Video Editor this week, possibly making video production as simple and fun as editing pictures on Instagram.
- “The user interface has been redesigned, removing some of the clutter from the previous version, and the many Instagram-style filters can now easily be seen during the editing process,” reports The Verge. “Changes are also easier to make on the fly, with the help of real-time, interactive previews. Combined with the service’s improved audio editing options, YouTube’s Video Editor is shaping up to be a rather resourceful tool for quickly cleaning up footage.”
- In a related TechCrunch post, ReelSurfer launched in public beta this week. The Menlo Park-based start-up from Christian Yang and Neil Joglekar allows users to clip and share video content from any website.
- “ReelSurfer set out to solve the problem of finding the right video clips online, which, using YouTube as an example, can often be a fool’s errand,” explains the post. “So the co-founders developed technology to convert long-form video into 30-second clips, allowing users to then save, share and buy that content.”
- As part of the beta launch, ReelSurfer is offering built-in clip commenting and advanced profiles so users can link reel collections to a central page.
- “This start-up is a complement to my ‘hyper-personalized offer’ project,” notes ETCentric staffer Phil Lelyveld. “It is also an opportunity for the entertainment industry to either negotiate new revenue streams or repeat the mistakes of the past.”
