Animoto is a cool new application for photographs. It creates a hybrid slideshow/video. I just uploaded pics I had from Inman Blogger Connect in San Francisco and picked the music track. Bam! Animoto.
Here’s what Animoto is about (in their own words):
Animoto Productions is a bunch of techies and film/tv producers who decided to lock themselves in a room together and nerd out.
Their first release is Animoto, a web application that automatically generates professionally produced videos using their own patent-pending technology and high-end motion design. Each video is a fully customized orchestration of user-selected images and music. Produced on a widescreen format, Animoto videos have the visual energy of a music video and the emotional impact of a movie trailer.
The heart of Animoto is its newly developed Cinematic Artificial Intelligence technology that thinks like an actual director and editor. It analyzes and combines user-selected images and music with the same sophisticated post-production skills & techniques that are used in television and film.
They are based in New York City, with an office in San Francisco. Now, that’s a creative connection.
Animoto is fun. With their one-click remix button, you can create a completely new version of your slideshow each time. Their unique algorithm does all the heavy lifting for you. Very user friendly.
• Pick your photos.
• Pick your own music in .MP3 format from your music collection.
• Click
• Sit back and enjoy.
Here’s sample of the same photos remixed numerous times:
Version 1
Version 2
Version 3
Version 4
Want to market yourself, your business or a listing in a creative way, take a look at Animoto. Unlimited 30 second clips are free. You gotta pay for a full length video— a whopping three bucks (or $30 for a year of unlimited Moto). Giddyup!

Outasight!!! This one is a keeper, for sure!!
This is so much fun. I wrote a post on Animoto for WP users and some possible gottchas with the Wordpress rich text editor. I figure there will be a lot of people wanting to try it out because of your introduction.
Talk about marketing to the post modernity crowd. I’ve got to try a virtual tour to hip hop.
Glad to see you two back in the pool. Now it is a matter of balance!
Hey guys, I love it! You put a smile on my face while viewing the SF Inman Conference. Great video!

Innovative tools like Animoto can help you & your listings stand out from the crowd. It may be just enough to get a call.
Ok, I just posted my first Hip Hop Virtual Tours at the Lab.
Animoto is a BLAST.
Thanks for finding this amazing and fun site. Now If I could just get my Animoto Hip Hop Virtual Tour on YouTube.
Oh.. this looks like fun.. too many toys … not enough time..
Kaye, this one is really easy. Just upload your pics and pick their music. Done.
Would using them as a virtual tour platform break the Animoto Terms of Service though?
Great technology! I’ll definitely be utilizing this in the days to come! Thanks for sharing it with us!
