Animoto
I always wondered what tool people used to create the video clips found in you tube with music, transitions and text right on the pictures and videos. I guess Animoto is one of these tools. I wish they would give you more choices for you to customize and of course, for free. Animoto is a good idea but I suspect there are better and free web applications on the internet that allow you to do more than Animoto. Please correct me if I am wrong, or tell me if you know of any other tool.
I chose to use pictures of my dogs taken recently by my daughter. Since just uploading 10 pictures to make this Animoto composite clip seemed too simple, I decided to give the pictures some effects to see if the final product had some sort of originality!
The good thing about Animoto is that you don’t have to do anything, it does everything for you. This is also a bad thing. It would be great if you could switch to manual mode and combine or create effects on your own.
Apparently Windows Movie Maker let you create similar video/picture compositions. I have not done my podcast yet but I suspect that the MAC application that I am going to use for my podcast also let you create such video compositions since I have heard very good things about it.
Although this is not a very fun thing to do (since you don’t do anything really!), it is always fun to learn something new, something that may come in handy when customizing my family pictures' website. Besides, I am glad that it didn’t take me hours to finish this “Thing”.
