Last month I wrote about a relatively new online video editor called Pixorial. Since then a couple of important things have happened at Pixorial. First, the application form for free “premium” educators accounts is back up. Second, last week Pixorial announced that they will soon be offering copyright-free music to use in the videos that you create. The music will be available soon through a partnership with Rumblefish. Because free and copyright-free are not synonymous terms the Pixorial announcement is a little unclear as to whether or not you’ll have to pay for the music. I’m obviously hoping not.
