5 Best Free Online Video Editing Services
Editing videos online may be time-consuming since you need to wait for upload and download especially when videos in a large bulk. However, if you just need to handle only one file, the heavy editing software may be a bit overqualified, while the light online editor yet easier to use than desktop program is capable of doing this work and very convenient when you are not at your own workstation.
Here we select 5 free online video editing services, most of them with these virtues in common: sharing online apart from download to your computer, remixing photos, audios to your video and adding effects and transitions.
Jaycut lets you upload videos and pictures from your computer, webcam, mobile phone or camcorder to do basic video editing like trimming, cropping, panning and zooming. It allows adding music, transitions, effects, titles and captions to the video as well as remixing videos and images. The finished works can be downloaded to your computer and iPhone or share with the world on YouTube and Facebook by one-click.

One True Media is fast uploading with support for a wide range of video file formats. Some features like downloading your works are only available for premium users but the free version is enough to do a great many things.

At last, you can share your work online with many options including YouTube, MySpace and Facebook, or embed it in your website or blog.
Well-known for photo hosting and sharing, Photobucket is also good at editing video. It lets you upload max 5 minutes (10 minutes for premium users) videos to your 1GB storage provided by this site.

The supported video file formats are wmv, mov, avi, mpg and 3gp with a 20MB limit for the file size.
The above is the top five I selected as the most powerful yet free online video editors. Unfortunately, some good free online video editing sites like Jumpcut and Eyespot are unavailable now. I also reviewed Motionbox and Animoto which I didn’t list above for the former just has basic editing features (though these features perform quite well) but cannot add effects and transition, nor remix audios and still pictures, unlimited storage and more advanced services only available for the Premium Member ($39.95/year); the latter allows free users to have only 30 seconds max for the video length.
