$\"\"$ Mashups have been popular since broadband Internet has come to the US. \u00c2\u00a0Using clips from Hollywood movies can be dangerous, however, with movie studios often asking for the videos to be removed or clips just being tough to select or find.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

Movieclips looks to solve that problem through arrangements with six Hollywood studios. \u00c2\u00a0That doesn’t just include older, catalog films but new releases and unreleased films like Iron Man 2, Prince of Persia and Letters to Juliet. \u00c2\u00a0In all there’s an ever increasing library of 12,000 clips to choose from.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

Those clips are searchable by genre, mood, actors, theme and prop among other information. \u00c2\u00a0Once the clips are selected, they can be cut down to smaller clips and rearranged to make mashups. \u00c2\u00a0The mashups can then be shared via embedding them to a website, Twitter, Facebook, or even as e-cards.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

It does seem limited to just movies at the moment, but the fact that the clips are legal to use as you want could make up for the lack of music videos, TV shows and other types of video that would probably be of interest. It’s also worth remembering that most entertainment industries – music, TV, film, have historically demanded tight control of any portion of songs, shows and movies when it comes to their distribution online. Major studios signing on to let people create their own mashups without the fear of licensing restrictions, DMCA take down notices and copyright claims may not seem like a big deal, but is really a huge step on the part of Hollywood. We hope the music and television industries follow suit.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
