Instructional Toolkit

Animoto is a video creation service that produces video using static photographs, and video clips into dynamic slideshow presentations.  While using this tool to produce the following video I discovered how easy it was to transform static images into presenting a concept.  Animoto has endless possibilities for any user to use for a number of projects.  However, using this tool is not free of charge. I created one 30 second video that was free of charge using the AnimotoLite plan. Nonetheless, I was limited time and to the templates offered in comparison to the the AnimotoPro plan.  Using the trial version of the AnimotoPro plan I created a second video that is over two minutes long. Being that it is a trial version, the Animoto watermark is embedded into the video. In order to get rid of it I would have to enroll in the service plan for $249/year. If I was a business perhaps I would be inclined in purchases this tool.  The results are outstanding and very simple to use. Enjoy the videos.

  1. Animoto is great. I used it last spring when I was taking Digital Storytelling. We got a free student account for 6 months. Animoto is easy to use and produces professional looking presentations. Your videos looked great!

  2. I took that class too and used pictures and a favorite song to make a music video. It was really hard to get the timing right, but it was so worth it, I love the video :)
    great job!
