Another way to Remix (or "Remash" as they call it)

I came across this website that seems similar to You Tube with all of the different videos. Through this website once you register you can pull your favorite videos from Google or You Tube and edit them by picking only certain parts from each and putting them together into one video. Just a different way to remix. I thought it was pretty clever and plan to try it out. Maybe something to use for our final projects! Here's the link:

WOW! That seems pretty cool, but I must admit this is all SO NEW to me! Have you mixed anything together yet?

I second phylissa's comment, I am going to try this as well; however I am wondering if it worked for you. Thanks for the tips.

I have, but I can't seem to figure out how to get it into Windows Movie Maker for my video so I'm still having trouble!

what a really cool find, Jessica! Now, here;s the rub: it looks like Searchles uses flash file formats, which it embeds into the webpage. You're going to have to go through two steps in order to "get" your video into Windows Movie Maker. First, you'll need to find a service that will download flash files (e.g., Keepvid.com won't do it)--try searching Google for the phrase"how do I download embedded flash files?" Then you need to convert the file to *.wmv or *.avi --whichever format you're using. Zamzar.com should be your friend here if your clip isn't too long.

Let us know how you get on!

What a terrific way to edite what you like or what you may want to use from an existing video. What a great tool, not only for our final video, but also for our own personal use.
