Do you like to make slideshows? If so, this Web site is for you! Or, if slideshows aren’t something you’ve explored before, you can still get a lot out of this site. To get started, you’ll need to sign up, which you can do by clicking on the Sign Up button. Then just fill out the form and you’re ready to get busy!
I highly recommend you watch the How-To video. It’s only about 60 seconds long and it will really make things a lot easier for you to figure out!
You can create as many video shorts as you want (30 second videos with at least eight pictures). However, you have to have credits for the full-length ones. So, I suggest sticking with the shorts.
You can select images off of your hard drive or if you have images on Flickr or Photobucket, you can tell Animoto to go fetch them. Next, you’ll choose sound either from their database or any MP3 file you have on your computer that you can legally use (no pirated MP3s!) When you’re finished, choose Save and Animoto will put everything together for you.
Not only do they analyze your pictures, but they also analyze the music you chose so that your video is a custom masterpiece. They never make the same video twice, so you’re sure to get something unique every time!
I’m off to put a video together for my crafts. Have fun!
