Fliptrack Launches Free Photo-Music Mash-up Service

Set Your Digital Photos to Music in Minutes This Holiday Season by Creating Photo-Music Mash-ups

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- What would the holidays be without Christmas songs, greeting cards and family photos? Merge the three together, add the power of the Internet, and you have the makings of a merry photo-music mash-up for family and friends.

Fliptrack today launched a first-of-its-kind, free online service that allows anyone to create photo-music mash-ups, setting their digital photos to music. Each song in its extensive library of licensed tunes, including dozens of holiday favorites, has been converted into a visual timeline. As images are added, Fliptrack's patent-pending technology automatically synchronizes them to the beat or lyrics of the song.

To create a mash-up at www.fliptrack.com, simply select a song, and then drag-and-drop digital photos onto the timeline. A selection of quick-start templates with pre-selected images makes it easy to get started, and built-in privacy controls place guidelines on who can view the final product. Once complete, Fliptrack converts the creation into a flash-video for viewing as a musical photo montage or slide show.

Sharing photo-music mash-ups is easy too. Flash videos can be emailed to friends and family, posted to Fliptrack for anyone to view, rate or comment on, or embedded on an individual's social networking page, blog or Web site.

"Unlike traditional photo slide shows or e-cards that silently display static images, we flipped the paradigm and let the music tell the story," said Stewart Putney, chief executive officer of Fliptrack. "By making the music the master track, it's easier and faster to create a professional-looking video with a movie-quality soundtrack. Our deep library of free, popular, licensed songs, together with drag-and-drop creative tools, will allow anyone to personalize a mash-up for the holidays, or any special event, in a matter of minutes."

Fliptrack has licensed more than 100 songs, which are free to use without copyright concerns, and will continue to build out its library of music, quick-start templates and photographs in the months ahead. For the holidays, choose from popular tunes like "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," "Deck the Halls," "O Christmas Tree," or "Auld Lang Syne."

There is something for everyone, at every age, from children's songs, to today's leading pop bands like the Scissor Sisters, to the Top 10 hits of the '40s, '50s, '60s, '70s and '80s. Hits include "Swinging on a Star," "Earth Angel," "Eye of the Tiger," "Lovin' You," and dozens of other classic hits. Finding the right song to celebrate a special event couldn't be easier, with a range of favorites for weddings, birthdays, parties and more, along with a variety of classical music and traditional Latin standards.
