Harnessing the power of search to create outstanding independent
video content
San Francisco, CA -- SpinXpress, a company which produces video
collaboration tools, today announced the release of their new
product, Get Media, which enables independent digital media
producers to search for and gather Creative Commons-licensed
content. Creative Commons licenses are free public copyright
licenses that let people publish their creative work under “some
rights reserved” copyright terms. Creative Commons-licensed content
such as video, images and music, is available to the public for free
legal sharing, reuse, and remixing. Get Media will be unveiled at
the independent video festival, Pixelodeon, June 9-10, 2007 in Los
Angeles. |

“Get Media is an impressive new tool
and we are excited to be showcasing this product at Pixelodeon,”
said Jay Dedman, organizer of Pixelodeon Fest. “SpinXpress embodies
what we want to celebrate – companies that empower and inspire the
independent content creator.”
The new Get Media search, available to anyone with a Web browser, is
online at http://spinxpress.com/getmedia.
Get Media enables independent producers to pull from a wide range of
creative content available under different licenses. To help people
find exactly what they are looking for, Get Media provides user-
friendly search functionality. Users can easily navigate through
menus to search categories, specific archives, types of media
(audio, video, or images) and types of licenses. Currently, Get
Media searches three categories of information:
- Repositories including
archive.org, flickr.com and blip.tv
- Sources that SpinXpress stores
and updates periodically, including magnatune.com
- Metadata collected from feeds
including ccMixter, CC Hits, and Freevlog.
“Get Media takes our vision of
enhancing distributed video production to a new level,” said Dave
Toole, CEO of SpinXpress. “Now groups of people have the power to
find the best creative materials; as well as collaborate to publish
digital media content, regardless of geographic location. People can
search for, share and produce video content online as if they were
in the same room or on the same network.”
A documentary filmmaker could use rights-cleared video clips in his
work, or a podcaster could include independent musicians’ songs as
part of a podcast or as an introductory medley without worrying
about paying licensing fees.
Get Media is an important addition to SpinXpress’ selection of
digital media production tools, which offer groups of people the
power to connect and work together to produce the highest quality
content. These collaboration tools are downloadable, allowing users
to create their own group network online and to share and store all
types and sizes of media files. With a drag and drop feature for
effortless file upload, as well as a discussion board and Wiki,
SpinXpress removes many challenges typical to group video
production.
“SpinXpress is set to be an incredibly useful tool for video
creators,” said Eric Steuer, creative director of Creative Commons.
“People looking for easy access to a huge collection of high quality
digital media that they can use freely and legally in their videos
will find a lot to rejoice about.”
