New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Flipagram (www.Flipagram.com), the personal video story app is doubling the length of free music clips it offers. Starting today, millions of free 60 second clips —from the most popular to the most obscure songs— will be available for use on Flipagram. Now anyone on Flipagram can create, share and discover amazing minute long video stories, set to music they love, even if they have no songs stored on their phones.
"Access to longer free music clips has been a consistent top ask from our community," said Farhad Mohit, Co-Founder and CEO of Flipagram. "Just in time for the holidays and everyone's end-of-year recap videos, we are excited to double the length of free music clips offered on Flipagram, and to see the creativity and freedom of expression that is enabled by minute-long personal videos set to all kinds of awesome music."
Stories Last Longer Than Moments
Unlike moment sharing networks with 6 to 15 second video limits, Flipagram has always allowed for longer videos and a range of narrative expression. With extended free music for all, Flipagram now enables longer personal video stories to have the perfect soundtrack.
"Minute long musical video stories open the space to show more and say more in creations that need them," says Mohit. "Event recaps can be richer, comedy can be funnier, and drama more dramatic."
Minute long videos also improve the immersive quality and pacing of stories that need more time to tell, such as end-of-year recaps, how tos, recipes, travel adventures, birthdays, pregnancies, weddings, memorials, and countless other creative stories that are being told on Flipagram.
"The memorable events and personal stories of our lives shape who we are today and give context and meaning to our being," says Mohit. "Far more than the single photos and ephemeral chats we share and forget, the ability to save, share and replay the memorable stories of our lives, will ultimately be the most satisfying and rewarding part of our online social experience."
Differentiated Global Offering
Flipagram is the first social mobile app to incorporate music into the core of its offering, because it is the first app focused on short video stories where music fits naturally—as opposed to apps for chatting, sharing individual photos, or micro-videos, where music is an afterthought. And, as a result of landmark licensing deals with all of the major record labels and most music publishers, Flipagram enables the use of popular music in minute long personal video stories, worldwide.
"No other major mobile social network has extensive music rights and most limit users to sharing only video moments," says Mohit. "Instagram restricts videos to 15 seconds, while Vine and other apps have even shorter limits. However, now every Flipagram user across the globe has a full minute of free music to express themselves and to create the perfect video story set to the perfect soundtrack."
