It’s the end of slideshows as we know it (and I feel fine)

May 2nd, 2008  |  web tools  |  2 Comments

I just spend a total of 3 minutes playing at Animoto.com and created this:

Unbelievable, right? I’m a believer now. Using a nifty custom algorithm, Animoto.com analyzes your photos and the music to create a one of a kind multimedia experience. You simply select your photos from your computer or elsewhere online (like Flickr or lots of others), choose the music from their collection by genre or upload your own DRM-free tracks and then they make it awesome. Five minutes or so later you can email, embed, send to YouTube or download the finished product.

Their business model is clever too. You can make as many 30-second clips as your heart desires for free, pay $3 for a single full-length video or $30/year for unlimited full-length videos. Try their Facebook app as well.

That looks like it has the potential to be very addictive. I’m off to try it out.

When I saw your post on Animoto, I had to make contact on mybloglog. You sentiments matched mine the first time I used Animoto. I love it. I have yet to see another web application like it;D

Here are my archived first Animoto slideshows. They are primitive, yet I think they look pretty cool. http://samccoy-n2teaching.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html

Glad to meet another Animoto afficionado.
