According to The Telegraph, the application is similar to Instagram and Twitter’s Vine, but with MixBit the emphasis is on collaboration and editing clips together.

Users can upload up to around an hour of 16-second clips edited together, meaning the finished product could be far longer that possible on Vine or Instagram, added the report.

YouTube founders Chad Hurley and Steve Chen said: “The MixBit website is a community of creators. We believe everyone has something interesting to say.

“We give people fun, intuitive tools to help them tell stories together. We think video should be a living, breathing entity and that creativity is a collaborative process. More than simply capturing brief moments in time, we help people bring stories to life.”

The report added that the site also allows users to take content created by others and develop it into new videos and that all videos are currently posted anonymously – unlike YouTube, where those uploading clips are able to develop their own channels or brands – but that there are plans to allow user names and comments in the future.
