What’s the Active Users list?

Posted in Personal, MyHome, Explore, Home by support on the September 23rd, 2006

The Active Users list shows people who recently made movies on the site. If you click on their picture, you’ll go to their page where you can check out their latest creation. Chances are, they’re still on the site, so give their movies some love (if they deserve it) and leave them a comment.

What’s the Popular Movies list?

Posted in Personal, MyHome, Explore, Home by support on the September 23rd, 2006

Popular Movies shows recently created movies that are popular with the community. The formula that determines popularity is based on a number of factors. One of the factors under your control is the amount of love that a movie has. So, if you see something you like, give it some love…maybe it will end up on the Popular Movies list.

What’s the difference between a movie and a clip?

Posted in MyPage, MyHome, Explore by support on the September 23rd, 2006

Good question! On Jumpcut, Clips (aka video clips) are single video files that were uploaded by our users. Movies are what you create using the Jumpcut Editor. They are combinations of individual video clips, photos, music, titles and effects. Movies are analagous to photo slideshows, but you can do a lot more.

The distinction between clips and movies can be confusing to some people because they’re used to video sites that just let you upload individual clips. We think Jumpcut is more exciting because you can use these raw materials to make your own movies.

But, if you want to make a movie out of a single video clip, you can do that too. Just press the green Edit/Remix button on the clip to open it up in the editor and then Publish.
