JayCut was an internet based video editing software tool that along with competitors Jumpcut.com, Motionbox and Eyespot were the first to offer this Web 2.0 feature pioneered by FORscene, later also added by YouTube through Adobe. Visitors edit directly in the web browser without downloading application software. The free video editing service shut down on January 31, 2012.
JayCut allows users to download their videos to their Personal Computer or Mobile Phone, or publish their videos on video-sharing websites, like YouTube. User-made JayCut videos have a 4:3 fullscreen aspect ratio, however, the videos don't carry a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio.
Pros
Clean interface. Novice-friendly controls. Decent number of video effects. Unlimited storage. Ability to record or upload audio. Free.
Cons
Publish link not prominent enough. Published movies automatically appear in your public profile. The method by which you delete video from your public profile isn't obvious. Can't drag video directly into the application.
Bottom Line
JayCut offers a surprising amount of functionality for a Web app, but potential privacy concerns and easily-correctable design choices sully the experience a bit.
