Photobucket users will soon have access to Adobe video editing tools online. The utilities will enable Photobucket Pro subscribers to remix, create effects and add music to content uploaded to the social networking site. The software offered by Adobe is the "lite" version of the company's editing tools -- a move likely intended to entice users to buy enhanced versions.

Adobe (Nasdaq: ADBE) and Photobucket have teamed up to give the site's 35 million subscribers free access to basic video remixing and editing technology online. With the first-of-its-kind offering, users can incorporate music, effects, transitions and titles into their videos.

"At Photobucket, we're committed to helping our users get the most out of their personal media, and have fun doing so," said Alex Welch, Photobucket chief executive officer. "Collaborating with Adobe gives our millions of users a simple way to create mashups that showcase their personality and creativity. Users can either broadcast these mashups widely, or share with a small group of friends and family."

The technology is currently limited to Photobucket Pro subscribers participating in the public beta, but the companies expect to launch the editing package by early March.
