Getting Animoto-ed


Another in the range of cool tools selected by the Wolf!
Be your own director, producer, sound editor & cinematographer all in one. There's a free acount option so you can add your images, choose or add the music and let Animoto mix you up a video clip. The Wolf made a (not really) quick sample, as you can see here. (Took a bit of time to sort, find, upload photos, edit plus the 3 steps saving the video-as-you-go were a bit slow - but likely that was the computer and the traffic in the ether!) Did highlight one good tip - prepare a dedicated folder with your selected pics in your photohost for each video you plan to make - only need about 10 pics for the 30 sec video, though it won't necessarily use them all. Liked the 'remix' option - where you can change the way the graphics morph to have a new video - without losing the original.
You can then send your creation to a blog, by email to friends, to YouTube, etc.
Certainly fun and a great new twist on a slide night!
