I agree with Josh's skepticism about remixing as a feature. I agree
that the results can be very cool, but I think it's quite difficult
to do for most users. There are two challenges here for service
providers:
1) helping users choose appropriate clips to mix into a given video
2) helping users decide where to place the "remix video" into the
original video, as well
as the in and out points of the remix video (video editing 101)
Remixing seems easy until you try it yourself. Take someone else's
video (not one you've thought a lot about) and find other videos that
might complement it somehow. Find the in point on the first video,
then find the in and out point for the mix-in video. Repeat that
step a few times.
I'm not saying this is rocket science, but I don't see this as
something that average web users will be doing either. It's video
search *plus* basic video editing. Today, we're just starting to see
halfway decent attempts at video search, and lots of great companies
have been beating their heads against the wall for over a decade
trying to enable average computer users to edit videos.
Then, the remix service would have to put both of these together into
one easy-to-use interface. I'm not holding my breath...

From speaking with Mary, yes they do have a quote/remix tool in the
works.
Not sure how similar it will be to MeFeedia's version of that feature.
My personal opinion is that it still remains to be seen if people
actually would use such a tool. Quotes are nice (i certainly like
media in smaller chunks), but actually making the quotes requires a
high level of investment for the user, not to mention that much of the
content out there today doesn't really lend itself to being quoted
easily.

The video totally suggests it allows remixing. I think that's a
yes. They seem to be starting out with a quoting tool like
Mefeedia used to have.

Enric - do you know if Dabble allows remixing? The podcast
sort of suggests it, but thats a different kettle of fish than
the tagging/aggregating sort of thing that videbomb also seems to
be playing with...

Mary Hodder presented Dabble Wednesday at the "Under the Radar:
Video
Blogs Killed the TV Star" event. From what I saw dabble allows
viewers to bookmark, tag and accumulate video from different
sources
(among other features.) My vlog of the presentation is at:
