Use: Easily combine video snippets from multiple locations into one seamless video
In an earlier blog post, I featured an app called Crowdflik that allows you to aggregate video clips from various shooters at the same event. JumpCam is a similar concept but allows videographers at different locations (and different times) to collaborate on a single video and edit it in real-time. Using the free app, a user can shoot up to a 10-second video and then invite others to add their clips to the same video (for up to 30 clips). Users can arrange the clips in any order, add music, etc.
Publishers can use JumpCam to create a single video from reporters covering different aspects of the same story. For example, reporters can be spread out over a town capturing perspectives on a new city ordinance and integrate them into one video. Or students covering simultaneous football games at different locations could provide quick game summaries that can be combined into one movie.
