The rumors are true.... Motionbox is soon to be a featured Channel on the Roku digital video player.  You'll be able to hook the player up to your television and enjoy instant access to all the videos you’ve uploaded to Motionbox. All you need is a TV, a high-speed Internet connection (wired or wireless), and a finger to click the remote! 

Easy Video Uploading: Motionbox offers two ways to get video files off the computer and in front of friends and family: a simple, browser based uploader and the Motionbox Express Uploader (MxU), a desktop tool that makes it drag-n-drop easy to upload videos to Motionbox.

Online Video Editing: Easy-to-use, web-based editing tools let you rotate, trim, or combine video clips – no software downloads required.

Advanced Privacy Settings: Motionbox makes it easy to share videos with a select group of viewers instead of broadcasting to the world.

Secure Video Sharing: Email videos to friends and family, or connect Motionbox to your Facebook account to post videos automatically to your newsfeed. Videos are never displayed next to unrelated content by people you don’t know.

HD Playback: The embeddable MotionboxHD player features crystal clear resolution and full screen playback. We accept HD video up to 1080p in any number of ratios.

Video Flipbooks and DVDs: Transform personal videos into professionally formatted DVDs or retro-cool flipbooks – pocket-sized books you animate in the palm of your hand.

Professional Video Hosting: Motionbox PRO is an affordable hosting solution for professional, business, or commercial video content.

Support for Multiple Formats: Motionbox supports more video formats -- including AVCHD and video shot on the iPhone -- than any other video sharing service on the web.

I really like the ease and simplicity. With some programs, it's so difficult and you're so frustrated by the time you get anything accomplished. I haven't run into any moments like that with Motionbox. It's fast, it's easy. I can sit down and enjoy it while I'm doing it. I love it.

I just uploaded a video of our new baby girl late last night and the video was taken on my cheap-o point and shoot while we were in the delivery room. The HD version is so clear, and the full screen is unBELIEVABLE! I mean, seriously you guys! This rocks.

Motionbox has a variety of partnership opportunities available. See below for a sampling from our current list of partners. Interested in partnering with Motionbox ? Learn more >>
