The heart of Animoto is its Cinematic Artificial IntelligenceTM technology that thinks like an actual director and editor, using the same sophisticated post-production skills and techniques that are used in television and film. The technology takes into account every nuance of a song: the genre, song structure, energy, rhythm, instrumentation, and vocals – and syncs the images to the music- so that you have an amazing video.

 

 

Animoto  makes it so easy to create movie-style videos using your own photos, video and music or theirs.  You can grab your images right from your Facebook Page, upload from your computer, or use their images. You can upload your MP3s or use their wide selection of music. You can navigate away and you will get an email when your video is done.  It only takes a few minutes. Then you can view it, edit, upload direct to YouTube, Facebook, Blogger, WordPress and other sites for sharing.

I am not big on photo sharing or videos. I am just one of those people, but I did make this video for my mom. It has pictures of my dad (the few that I have) the great thing is that when I find more I can add them in. I love that I got to choose the music as well. I chose something that I thought would be perfect for my mom.

With the award-winning Animoto Plus, longer videos and downloads put you in the director’s seat. Create a masterpiece from the pictures of your friend’s wedding, a baby-shower, birthdays, anniversaries, or that Facebook album in minutes. With hundreds of ways to share – social networks, YouTube, email, even on DVD – you can wow all your friends!
