Announcements include new offerings from major companies like BitTorrent and Vimeo, launches and updates from smaller companies, **winners of the SXSW Music Accelerator** and even a list of **favorite apps compiled by Digital Trends** that includes a number focused on music. **Announcements: BitTorrent Live, Vimeo On Demand** BitTorrent [announced](https://www.hypebot.com/live-streaming-launches-bittorrent-live-and-showgotv/) that their new livestreaming service, [BitTorrent Live](http://live.bittorrent.com/?ref=hypebot.com), is now available in open Beta. Vimeo chose SXSW to announce their new [Vimeo On Demand](http://vimeo.com/ondemand?ref=hypebot.com) service that allows for direct to fan sales of videos that can be viewed on any device. **Cinsay R2RLive Music Event at SXSW** [Rags 2 Riches Live](https://rags2richeslive.com/?ref=hypebot.com) takes place March 16 at SXSW. Billed as the "World's First Live Streaming Social Commerce Music Event", the 7-hour event will include a music concert hosted by Diddy and featuring: Skylar Grey, Kitten, The Tontons, Trevin Hunte, Forever the Sickest Kids, Neo Geo and Remmington The online event will be powered by [Cinsay's](http://cinsay.com/?ref=hypebot.com) embeddable ecommerce video player called a "[Smart Store](http://cinsay.com/smartstore/?ref=hypebot.com)." In-player transactions include ecommerce sales, donations, lead generation and links out to the web. **Givit Video Editing App Adds Social Features** [Givit](http://www.givit.com/?ref=hypebot.com), an iOS video editing app, [announced](http://thenextweb.com/apps/2013/03/11/givit-goes-truly-social-with-version-3-0-of-its-video-editing-app-persoanl-profiles-followbe-followed/?ref=hypebot.com) the introduction of a variety of social features. Apparently there's a [music video aspect](http://betanews.com/2013/03/11/givit-takes-on-music-videos/?ref=hypebot.com) as well or, perhaps, that's a possiblity emphasized due to their announcement happening at SXSW. **Multiple Bands Using CrowdSync to Record SXSW Shows** Crowdsourcing mobile video platform [CrowdSync](http://www.crowdsyncapp.com/?ref=hypebot.com) ventured to SXSW to participate in the [Music Startup Village Accelerator](http://sxsw.com/music/startupvillage/accelerator/finalists?ref=hypebot.com#overlay-context=interactive/startupvillage/accelerator/finalists) this week. I recently [interviewed](https://www.hypebot.com/crowdsync/) the cofounders who discussed their product for editing and syncing uploaded videos from live events and turning them into a unique product. They've gotten a number of bands to commit to using Crowdsync during SXSW and the resulting videos will be viewable afterwards on [the app](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/crowdsync/id580248718?mt=8&ref=hypebot.com). Participating bands include: The Polyphonic Spree, La Chiva Gantiva, Child Actor, Tumbleweed Wanderers, The Congregation, So Many Wizards, Social Studies, The Blank Tapes, Dana Falconberry, Body Parts and Agent Ribbons **Vyclone Web Editor Behind the Scenes | Internet Explorer** [Vyclone](http://www.vyclone.com/?ref=hypebot.com) is a live crowdsourced video editing service that isn't expressly for DIY musicians but is quite relevant. In fact, as I [recently discussed](https://www.hypebot.com/vyclone-helps-fans-bands-work-together-to-create-music-videos-from-live-shows/) with the cofounders, they'll work with bands to use soundboard or other high quality audio sources for syncing videos. Up till now they've been focused on their mobile app but they just announced their [new web editor](http://www.vyclone.com/behindthescenes?ref=hypebot.com). Apparently it's optimized for, though not limited to, Internet Explorer and is getting some [love from Microsoft](http://blogs.windows.com/ie/b/ie/archive/2013/03/13/bringing-touch-video-editing-to-the-web-with-vyclone-and-internet-explorer.aspx?ref=hypebot.com). Providing a web-based editor will definitely improve Vyclone's usefulness for creating live concert videos. **FastFan to Debut at SXSW** I'm told that [FastFan](http://www.fastfan.com/?ref=hypebot.com) is debuting this week at SXSW but I'm unclear on what form that debut will take. They describe themselves as a: "powerful music discovery & promotion platform completely built around the fans– a platform featuring a digital marketplace, filtered by 'crowdscouting', that corrals the power of the internet, gaming and social networking." You can find out more about what they're doing via this [blog post](http://www.fastfan.com/blog/grammy?ref=hypebot.com). **SXSW Music Accelerator Winners Announced** Yesterday a [number of music startups](http://sxsw.com/music/startupvillage/accelerator/finalists?ref=hypebot.com#overlay-context=interactive/startupvillage/accelerator/finalists) presented at the SXSW Music Accelerator.
