Animoto Review

November 10, 2007




While in tech club (Plug Me In) Bam Bam told us about a new online tool on animoto.com. The tool is used to make advanced slideshows. You add your own pictures and then pick music from your own library or their library on the site. Then it formats the pictures into a high energy, eye catching display.

A great thing about it is that it only takes about five minutes to make and it is free. Also, the way it formats the pictures looks very nice and you can make as many as you want.

One thing that I don’t like about the tool is that only thirty second slideshows are free, if you want a full length slideshow it cost three dollars. Also, it would be nice to be able to format the pictures yourself than rather have the tool do it for you.

On a scale of one to ten, with ten being outstanding, I would give it a seven. Here is an example of one that I have made.

    Cash Money…

    Great review! I agree that the 30 second free bees are a bit limited. Remember that we have a club account, though. You’ll get the username and password on Tuesday.

    I also agree that it would be cool to be able to add the effects that you want—-but I love the ease of Animoto. Sometimes ease trumps flexibility for me!

    Anyway, see you on Tuesday!
    Bam Bam.
