What is Animoto?
Animoto produces TV-quality music videos using your photos in just minutes.
It's so simple to do too. Choose a song as the soundtrack to your video and Animoto
will analyze it. Producing a totally unique video each time, no two videos are ever the
same.
Sharing them is a cinch as well. Add them to your MySpace & Facebook profiles, on
your blog, e-mail them to friends, put them up on YouTube or download them onto
your computer.
Some of Animoto's founders used to produce shows for MTV, Comedy Central & ABC,
study classical music in London, play in rock bands in Seattle and develop software in
Japan. They developed a patent-pending, Cinematic Artificial Intelligence that thinks
like an actual editor and director.

3 Easy Steps
1.
Upload images. Find where photos
are located, select and choose open.
(This may take a few moments. It
depends on the number and the size
of the photos.)
Once images are upload, you
have the ability to add text,
rotate, spotlight or delete
images.

2.
Select Music . Music from the
program can be used or can be
uploaded from your computer.
Animoto offers lots of different
genres of music.
Once the music is selected,
click save.

3. Customize your Video—selecting
video length, image pacing, and
video cover screen.
It takes 3 minutes to render 30
seconds of video. If you are making a
10-minute video, this can take a while
--- even a couple of hours.
Now What!
Animoto saves your video to My Videos inbox. You will also
be notified by email the very second your video has been
created and is ready to view. Included will be a direct link to
the video.
All videos are private unless you share them with others or
post it elsewhere.
