What can you do with Animoto application?

Animoto allows you to mix your own music videos, using your own photos, videos and music.

What is Animoto

It’s an website/application that allows web users to mix their own photo and video presentations, with selected music. Take your favorite photos/videos and upload them to the website. You can upload several pictures automatically at once, you can do other things while waiting upload to finish. After media have been uploaded, you can choose music from their own track list or upload your own mp3. Animoto will analyze the beat and tempo of your music, and use this to decide when and how photo’s will be changed and mixed in your slideshow video. Animoto takes care all the mixing and you have very little control over the presentation. After video has been finished (time varies depending how much pics/videos you uploaded), you can upload your video to YouTube, from where you can share it with your friends. Allow some 25 minutes for the entire process, from starting uploading to the finished product. Check the videos at the end of the article.

How does the application look and feel to use?

Animoto’s website has a very modern and “urban” look and feel which is aimed at younger audiences. There is some advertising present, but it is integrated well into the site and is in no way forced upon you.
