Jumpcut ditches uploads

Yahoo's video-editing site, Jumpcut, has quietly stopped accepting uploads, as the company tightens its belt in tough times.
Yahoo claims the site will continue to operate "for the foreseeable future", despite the fact that its primary purpose has been completely undermined.
Explaining the decision, the site notes, "it was a difficult decision that we wish we didn't have to make, but it was necessary in order to focus resources on other Yahoo sites."
Jumpcut members also have to deal with the fact that they cannot rescue their remixed movies from the site, as it "was built to assemble your movies in real-time so you wouldn't have to wait for rendering. The flip-side of this design means there's no single file to download."
The site is directing people towards Flickr, or native applications like Windows Movie Maker and iMovie.
