Pixorial: Bringing Sexy Back to Online Video Editing?

The online video space is already littered with a few casualties, most notably Yahoo-acquired and later shut down Jumpcut, Eyespot, Cuts, and Grouper (acquired and turned into Crackle by Sony). Jaycut and Motionbox remain, but for a long time it seemed like the wind had gone out of online video editing’s sails. Today marks the launch of a new hope in that department. Pixorial is releasing its online collaborative video service with several new twists on the genre coupled with a business model that might just give it the legs to survive. Put together by former executives from Netscape and Oracle, Pixorial has been in private beta since January of this year. Its mission is to “help people do more with video memories than ever before,” and to that end offers an interesting mix of digital and analog video services.
