Animoto Video Clips

What is Animoto.com?

Animoto.com is a website that provides a quick way to make quick and simple video clips using photos you have taken.  This lesson will show you how to take your personal photos and turn it into a short but exciting video to be shown on your computer, saved to a CD, DVD or as an mp4 file.  You can even embed it into your PowerPoint presentations or your website.   Here's a sample of a video I created of my vacation trip to Cancun in June of 2008.

Now, let's take a quick tour of Animoto.com and see what you can create.  Click here and navigate to watch an Animoto video clip to learn what it's all about.
