blinkx Users Relive Memorable Movie Moments Through New Partnership With AnyClip
From Oscar Winners to Cult Classics, Thousands of Film Clips Now Available at http://www.blinkx.com
SAN FRANCISCO, May 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- blinkx, the world's largest and most advanced video search engine, today announced a partnership with AnyClip (http://www.AnyClip.com), the company that redefines how people consume and enjoy online video, to give blinkx users access to clips from over 12,000 feature films in its vast library from studios including Warner Brothers, Universal Studios, Vivendi Entertainment, First Look and Virgil Films.
blinkx and AnyClip will make it easy to watch any favorite movie moment, right at this moment. AnyClip's tagging technology extracts and indexes over 5,000 individual pieces of metadata from each full-length feature film. This means cinema-savvy users can search for movie content via snippets of dialogue, actors, props, and much more in over 12,000 full-length feature films from the top studios. Whether it's a quotable comedy, a pulse-pounding thriller, or a particular performance by an award-winning actor, blinkx users will now be able to search and share the moments that make us love a night at the movies.
"We're thrilled to partner with AnyClip to offer our users access to such a wide variety of film clips from their ever-growing database of licensed content," said Suranga Chandratillake, CEO, blinkx. "AnyClip has made films incredibly searchable, so we can hit the highlights and find our favorite moments quickly and easily - we're very pleased to partner with another company that puts such importance on improving entertainment with technology."
"Our innovative user experience and groundbreaking technology gives consumers an entirely new way to quickly and easily relive their favorite moments from their favorite movies," said Oren Nauman, CEO, AnyClip. "Partnering with blinkx is an exciting opportunity for AnyClip to gain an even bigger movie-loving audience who already expect a seamless and advanced video search experience."
