Friday Find: Animoto

by Sandra Foyt on June 5, 2008

My favorite new online gadget is Animoto, a strangely addictive music video generator. Just plug in a few photos, pick a song, and you’ve got a gorgeous professional-quality show.

My kids are using it to create introductions for their Gifted Kids Network classes, and they couldn’t resist posting their creations on their blogs - Alex & Leperdy and Elferkid.

Just this week, I created two of these Animotos because it’s an entertaining solution when you  have several pictures to share.  A free thirty second production can showcase up to twelve pictures, and you can purchase a $30 annual pass to create longer videos.

So far, I’ve used Animotos to show how we were Lost in the Pine Bush and to share my Girl Scouts’ Mission Possible Read Aloud Event.

Next week, I’ll find out just how much I can cram into a video when I test out the full-length video option.
