Total Recut Powers Movie-Buff Website With Eyespot Video Platform

Total Recut Chooses Eyespot for Video Hosting, Publishing and Editing Applications; Consumers Create and Share Short Films at TotalRecut.com

Total Recut, a recently launched Website for movie enthusiasts, has deployed Eyespot’s Video Personalization Suite (www.eyespotnetwork.com) for video hosting and services. Movie fans can now upload videos, create, remix, and share short films at www.totalrecut.com. Total Recut joins a growing roster of mid- and small-size publishers using Eyespot’s new self-serve video platform to drive traffic, loyalty and viral sharing.

“Along with basic video hosting, we needed to make it easy for consumers to interact with our content, in order to drive impressions and grow our community,” said Owen Gallagher, creative director of Total Recut. “Eyespot understands that engagement is critical, and allows us to offer a user experience that rivals that of household-name content providers, but at a price point suitable for our early-stage Website.”

Eyespot’s Video Personalization Suite can be up and running on any site in a matter of hours through a simple self-provisioning process, and includes:

--  Video hosting, video streaming, video moderation, and video editing
    tools, delivered in a software-as-a-service model
--  Applications that let consumers upload videos and view and share
    content online and via mobile, all from a publisher's own Website
--  The ability to manage, combine, and distribute both professional and
    user-generated content
--  A library of more than 1,000,000 rights-cleared videos, music and
    photos
--  In-stream video advertising from leading networks including Google
    AdSense for Video, Tremor Media, adap.tv, YouMe, and others
--  The option to leverage the Eyespot network for content syndication for
    added reach and visibility
--  Free (ad-supported) or low-cost monthly subscription offerings

“When you allow consumers to make content their own, they share it enthusiastically and become highly engaged ambassadors for your brand,” said Jim Kaskade, President and CEO of Eyespot. “Many small and mid-sized publishers, however, have been stymied by the investment in staff, time and resources in order to create, deploy, and monetize video on their sites. Now, Websites like Total Recut can reach a broad user base, fuel the creativity of the community, and drive the traffic and loyalty that define success in a highly competitive online environment without being burdened with the complexities of video infrastructure.”
