Digital Home Thoughts: New muveeOnline Web Service Lets Consumers Instantly Turn Online-Hosted Pictures and Video into Compelling Music Video

"muvee, the pioneer and leader in Instant Personal Video, launches its new muveeOnline web service at the 2006 Photo Marketing Association (PMA) Convention in Orlando, Florida. The first and only of its kind, muveeOnline is a back-end Web service that brings muvee’s award-winning automatic video production capabilities to photo-/video-sharing portals, as well as a host of other online web communities where digital media content is uploaded and shared. When integrated with these portals, muveeOnline enables end users to automatically create polished, edited video productions using their personal photos and video clips that are hosted on the portal, without having to download and install any software. Users have over 100 unique production styles to choose from and the finished productions, called muvees, are intelligently cut to the beat of the music with synchronized style effects and transitions."

Sounds interesting - I've been using muvee a lot in the past week, and having the ability to use it online might be cool, especially if you can pull in all sorts of outside sources. They call it a "back-end Web service", which likely means they're going to shop it around to online photo sharing services rather than launching something themselves. That's just my interpretation, but who knows, maybe we'll see something like this on Flickr or Smugmug at some point. Could be cool!
