I’d never heard of jumpcut.com before, but Yahoo! just acquired them and after playing with it for a few minutes I agree that it’s pretty slick. (Update: In fact, after remixing the video below in less than 30 seconds, I think it’s actually really slick.)
Jumpcut is a video site, but the coolness is their web-based online video editor. With an easy to understand Flash interface you can rearrange and trim clips and add snazzy transitions. Also cool: you can email video from the video camera on your mobile phone to the site. Every video has a “remix” button, that when clicked makes the video you’re watching editable and mixable with your own content or other content on the site.
You can slice and splice the clips. You can import Flickr photos to use in your videos. You can pull in mp3s and audio clips. Title screens are cake.
As with most video players, this one is in Flash and seems to Just Work.
All and all, a pretty cool piece of web-based software.
Update: Jumpcut announced the acquisition with a “Great Combos” video. I remixed it in 30 seconds:

Haha, you’ve never heard of them before? Yeah, jumpcut is indeed pretty damn slick. Now with Yahoo!’s backing, they will take some users away from YouTube. =)

I found Reuter’s Lab (http://labs.reuters.com/) has several cool video editing tools. The Reuter’s Video Player allows a user to add comment on a news clip. Others not only can read the comment, but also can reset the video to the very position when the comment was added.
Our company, Overcast Media (overcastmedia.com) has a similar technology but is open to everyone (e.g. you can’t use Reuter’s video player to play your own video, but you can with OMI’s studio program.

Looking for an online video editor? You could also give youMashTube ( http://youMashTube.com ) a try. It is a new fast & lightweight way to search and edit YouTube videos and save them as webpages. It doesn’t have many advanced video editing features yet ( right now all you can do is set start and end points for each video ) but it lets you work with 118 million YouTube videos, and doesn’t need any downloads…

Makes you wonder when you’ll be able to do full blown special effects online.
