Animoto

You don’t have to be trained by our top-notch online staff to do your own digital story telling. All you need is Animoto!

Animoto is a web 2.0 application that takes your photos beyond slideshow. Simply upload your photos of choice, add music, and Animoto does the rest. It is that easy. No joke. My test video took no more than 5 minutes to create. Here’s how you do it.

1. Go to Animoto.
2. Create an account.
3. Create your 30 second clip by uploading at least ten pictures (Animoto can directly access your Flickr or Photobucket account).
4. Choose from one of the songs in Animoto's music library or upload your own audio file.
5. Share your new video.

You can create as many 30-second videos as you wish, for free. Think of the possibilities. A fee is required if you choose to create a full-length video.
