Guess Who Else Is a White-Label Video Co? Motionbox!
Motionbox announced today that it is making its video hosting service available as a commercial product called Motionbox Pro for customers such as real estate agents and outlets such as Gawker Media and Reuters (who have both already signed on as customers).
Motionbox powers personal video uploads for Shutterfly and AOL, so it’s got the ease-of-use thing down. What the company offers commercial users is a simple way to upload and show HD video in an unbranded player. It’s easy enough for non-technical users but still looks professional.
The product is pretty darn cheap, with a $50 setup fee then $25 per user per month with 25 GB storage and 25 GB streaming. New York City-based Motionbox says it’s still focused on the consumer business (for which it also charges some users), but with at least 60 customers already using Motionbox commercially it decided to formalize a professional product.
Here are examples of Gawker and Reuters videos in Motionbox players. Like we whined about yesterday, Gawker is being lame and choosing to use a Motionbox Pro feature that disables embeds, so you’ll have to click through for that one.
Motionbox, which has raised $17.2 million, recently acquired Viddyou, another personal video-sharing startup.
