If you’ve been to a nice wedding, anniversary, or milestone birthday party lately, you’ve probably seen this kind of video: A montage of friends and family from all over the world giving their congratulations and well-wishes. The thing is, as simple as they look, those types of videos can actually be a real pain to make. You have to have each contributor shoot their videos through their webcam, collect the various individual videos through a file sharing service such as Dropbox, then have someone who really knows their way around iMovie or Final Cut Pro stitch it all together in a way that keeps in the best bits, edits out the rest, and makes it all look cohesive.
A new startup debuting today called JumpCam wants to replace that whole process with one simple mobile app. JumpCam, which is launching today on iOS but will be available on Google Play soon, lets groups of friends easily shoot and edit together collaborative videos comprised of up to thirty 10-second clips.
It’s a really simple and snappy process, so JumpCam’s co-founder and CEO David Stewart stopped by TechCrunch HQ this week to give us a hands-on look. You can check that out in the video embedded above.
JumpCam, which is headquartered in San Francisco and has a staff of 9, has raised $2.7 million in a Series A round led by Trinity Ventures and Google Ventures
