MixBit's remix-friendly video recording app reaches Android
There was a degree of irony to YouTube's founders launching their MixBit video recording app on iOS first, but that has just been rectified: the client is now available for Android. As with the iOS release, Android movie makers can record clips up to 16 seconds in length, stitch them together in larger videos (up to an hour long) and remix others' projects. If neither Vine nor Instagram satisfy your short-form cinematic impulses, you can grab the Android version of MixBit on Google Play.
YouTube founders create Mixbit: Vine-like video sharing with a difference
Social Network-backed video sharing apps are all the rage, and now the biggest boys in school have woken up to the idea. MixBit is the brainchild of Chad Hurley and Steve Chen, better known as the founders of YouTube, and is a Google Ventures-backed iOS app that lets you record up to 16 seconds of video. Unlike Vine, however, you don't just have the ability to edit your own clips, but also to remix other people's contributions to create movies up to an hour long. Another difference is that each submission is anonymous and there's no commenting system, lessening the impact of that big-budget twerking video you put together. Android users won't have to feel put out for too long, either, as the pair has pledged that the app will arrive on the platform in the next few weeks.
