I was recently selected by Animoto to review their service. 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. It is so easy to navigate and I was able to put together a movie-style video of some of the products on our 2011 Holiday Gift Guide. All I had to do was pick the style, upload my images, add text, add music and then, click process my video. 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 think I am totally addicted now and I want to do this for lots of family photos and themes. It is so fast and easy to get a really great looking video. I have so many ideas running through my head, a video on every child’s birthday with highlights of their year, Christmas video with highlights of our family throughout the year, our latest vacation, a great video on our wedding anniversary with our song, and so many more. I told you I am addicted to Animoto and it only took one time. What a great way to showcase your photos and make great keepsakes and memories.
