Minutes after creating a video, users will be able to view them online at http://www.mystudio.net/, share them with their friends and family, and download them to their cell phone.

"Studio One Media's business model is an exciting step forward in the user-generated content space, giving music fans the ability to use music from some of the world's greatest songwriters in their creative endeavors, and then share the end-product with friends and family," said Anna King, Senior Manager, Music Services & Licensing at EMI Music Publishing.
