Thread: Editing photos online

Editing photos online is impressive and useful, but if you like to create home videos you might find some other online tools even more useful.

To try editing videos online, sign up for a free Photobucket account at. After logging in, upload a video file from your computer using the 'Upload images and video' tool on the front page of the site - this may take a while, even if using a broadband internet connection. Once the video is uploaded it will appear near the bottom of the page click the Edit link next to it.



A window will open showing the video, as well as various editing options. You can add music, text or transitions, or even join several video clips together into a montage. Remember that photos and videos placed online are often immediately made public, however, so check the privacy and sharing options very carefully before uploading personal photos or videos to any website.

Online applications make it possible to share documents with others, access your important files from just about anywhere and, better yet, save a small fortune on software. Even if you own an office suite such as Microsoft Office, they're well worth checking out for the occasions when you need to collaborate or access files if away from home. So whether you want the instant simplicity of Buzzword, the collaborative tools of Google Docs or the wide-ranging features of Zoho, spare an hour or so the next time you're online and check them out. You'll be glad you did
