| So some friends and I are developing a ''distributed'' video editor aimed at professional TV and movie production using HDSLR cameras (like the 5D Mark II). The free software community has truly mastered the lean, distributed workflow. Now we're bringing that workflow to video production. We think that cheap HDSLR cameras plus distributed editing software can enable an explosion of financially sustainable independent TV and movies... licensed under the Creative Commons. | That's exactly what we want to accomplish with [[http://novacut.com/|Novacut]], and we're approaching the problem from both sides. We aim to: |

We're exciting to get some face time with this great Ubuntu community. |
* Provide the central market place that will allow Creative Commons licensed content to reach critical mass. It must be convenient for fans to find and watch CC content, and easy for fans to support the artists they love. And artists needs to make money. And Novacut needs to make money. The market place is where this will happen. |

Novacut Vision
Ubuntu can easily become the premier platform for professional video production (e.g., movie and TV production). In addition to content-production, as Ubuntu's market share grows, it's becoming an increasingly valuable market for content-distribution. This is where the rubber meets the road, and if we play our cards right, a huge opportunity to feed additional revenue into both the free-software and free-culture ecosystems.
That's exactly what we want to accomplish with Novacut, and we're approaching the problem from both sides. We aim to:
Give creators the tools they need to create the open-source way. Free-software owes its success to more than just license... equally important are the pragmatic tools (like Bazaar and Launchpad) that have enabled us to write software faster, better, cheaper. We should strive to give free-culture every competitive advantage possible, and that's why we're developing the Novacut distributed video editor. To win, free-culture needs to be highly competitive in the market place.
