Animoto in the Classroom 

Media is part of students' communication standard. Images form a new visual language

Animoto is a web application that automatically generates professionally produced videos. Animoto videos have the visual energy of a music video and the emotional impact of a movie trailer.

Each video is a fully customized orchestration of user-selected images and music. Produced in widescreen format.

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 and techniques that are used in television and film.    Animoto.com

Tips and Tricks

  • Animoto will make you look like you know a lot about video production. Take advantage of that.
  • A 30 second free video uses about 15-20 images.

  • Images must be in jpeg or gif formats and no larger than 5MB in size.source: animoto FAQ

  • Animoto recommends a size of no less than 640x426 (about 50kb per image), and no more than 1024x768 (about 100kb per image). source: animoto FAQ

  • Upload your 30 second video to YouTube. Then use Zamzar to convert and download your video.
  • Download directly from Animoto if you have an account that allows for full length videos.
  • Animoto decides how long each image appears on the screen. Duplicate or "spotlight" important pictures to keep them on the screen longer.
  • For more music choices, try FreePlayMusic.com .
  • Gather images by inserting clip art photos in PowerPoint.  Resize photos to full screen, create background slide colors and titles, insert auto shapes and text.  File - Save As - .jpg.  Each slide will be converted to an image file.  All images in this video were first PowerPoint slides:  Bill of Rights
