Here’s a nice overview of online video editors – alternatives to the YouTube remixer – Jumpcut sounds particularly nice, though the website previews look somewhat dodgy! – from ReadWrite Web blog
Video Editing 2.0: 8 Ways to Remix Online Videos: “Jumpcut lets you upload video, photos, and audio, or import from Flickr or Facebook, and edit using a Flash interface. Add titles, effects, transitions, music, and split and crop video tracks. Then publish your video and let others remix it. Jumpcut also has some social networking features (like groups). Jumpcut is probably the best of the online video editors, though I really wish there was a way to export videos off the site.
Of the bunch, Jumpcut’s editor most resembles the feel of offline editors, like iMovie.”

daily summaries of the JISC online conference are available HERE.
Thom & Giedres online presentation on Communities of Practice was well received:
“The Institutional Transformation In Context area also offers a wealth of engaging and interactive experiences. Submissions under the Open call are located in this section, which this year included opportunities to engage in a wiki on using communities of practice to develop educational technology literacy…”
We also ran a short informal survey on participants use of social software in education. Results:

YouTube now have a basic online (browser based) video editor, with very similar tools/interface to that of either iMovie or Windows Movie Maker (It’s actually using Adobe Premiere Express! – great advertising move by Adobe – they include a link to ‘do more’ by using Adobe Premiere Elements 3) – includes a timeline, ability to combine video, phots, music, and graphical effects (Titles, borders, symbols) and transitions! There’s also a Flash demo overview. WOW!!!
Sometimes, instant gratification video is just the thing you need.
If you’ve ever uploaded from your cell phone, wished for an easy way to add titles and transitions, or just wanted to remix your own videos, Remixer is a great place to play. It lets you assemble your new video in an easy drag-and-drop timeline, and then publish it right back to YouTube. Your original videos will stay exactly the same.”
YouTube also have some other cool features: http://www.youtube.com/testtube
Finally – the mobile version of YouTibe is now live: http://m.youtube.com and you can upload videos to YouTube directly from a video capable mobile phone via MMS – every YouTube account has a ’secret’ youtube mms address: xxxxxxxxxxx@mms.youtube.com
iPhone to Support Third-Party Web 2.0 Applications
Innovative New Way to Create Applications for iPhone
WWDC 2007, SAN FRANCISCO—June 11, 2007—Apple® today announced that its revolutionary iPhone™ will run applications created with Web 2.0 Internet standards when it begins shipping on June 29. Developers can create Web 2.0 applications which look and behave just like the applications built into iPhone, and which can seamlessly access iPhone’s services, including making a phone call, sending an email and displaying a location in Google Maps. Third-party applications created using Web 2.0 standards can extend iPhone’s capabilities without compromising its reliability or security.
“Developers and users alike are going to be very surprised and pleased at how great these applications look and work on iPhone,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “Our innovative approach, using Web 2.0-based standards, lets developers create amazing new applications while keeping the iPhone secure and reliable.”
Web 2.0-based applications are being embraced by leading developers because they are far more interactive and responsive than traditional web applications, and can be easily distributed over the Internet and painlessly updated by simply changing the code on the developers’ own servers. The modern web standards also provide secure data access and transactions, like those used with Amazon.com or online banking.
Safari on Windows – why? – got to be some tie in to the iPhone’s capability – Safari synching?!!! on Mac & PC? with iPhone…
“To maintain the security of the iPhone, Apple decided not to let developers write actual applications for the iPhone, but rather create Web 2.0 applications that run within the version of Safari included on the iPhone. Those Web apps can integrate with the iPhone’s built-in services, giving them access to making a call, sending an e-mail, or looking up location in Google Maps. Since most of the application code runs on a server, Apple said the software is both secure and easy to update.” via Macworld
