Just a quick post today, basically about a new service I have found called Animoto.
Animoto is an online service that allows you to upload images and music to produce a sort of slideshow on steroids. The coolest thing about Animoto though, is that it actually analyzes your music and times transitions to the beats! Also, you can “remix” your video at anytime, which basically runs your images and music through the Animoto processing engine again (Or you can add/remove images and music), and you will never end up with the same video twice! Don’t worry though, every video and remix you make is saved into your “My Videos” section of the website!
Now, Animoto is essentially a free service – so long as you don’t mind just making 30 second videos. However, if you want to make longer videos (Up to the length of your chosen music track) and download them in MP4 format you will need to purchase a Full-Length Video Credit which costs just $3! That’s $3 for your Full-Length video and unlimited remixes. I personally think that is an amazing price for the service they provide.
Still not convinced? Why not checkout the intro video to my weekly YouTube channel Money Saving Tricks – which was made in Animoto in under 20 minutes.
So why not check it out for yourself by clicking the link below!
I personally think the results are fantastic. What do you think? Let me know by posting your thoughts in the comments!
Thanks for the Animoto shout out Tom!
