Stupeflix: Powerful Movie Making From Your Browser

stpueflixlogo Quick Pitch: Stupeflix is a web service that turns digital content (images, text, audio, videos) into awesome videos.

Genius Idea: Think of Stupeflix as an advanced way to mashup your videos, photos, and music and create a video collection or home movie that you can download or share on the web. Using the Stupeflix editor you can upload your content and music, drag and drop to organize content in and out of groups, add video effects, associate tracks with groups (or the whole movie), insert text overlays, and piece together your own movie.

The browser-based movie-making service isn’t exactly a plug-and-play application, but it isn’t overly complicated either, and it does provide a pretty impressive tool for combining your video, photos, and music in any fashion you desire. It’s a unique and sophisticated approach to turning digital content into story-telling entities that you can then share across the web or save for personal use. Advanced users can even use the XML editor to add their own parameters.

The site is also hoping to attract business users by giving companies the ability to broadcast on mobile devices, brand their own content, include call to actions, add interactivity, and leverage text-to-speech technology. They also have a powerful API that can turn feeds into libraries of videos, much like this impressive group of videos they created from Wikipedia content.
