Check out my latest Valley of Fire MTV. It didn’t take me more than 5 minutes to get the whole video ready. There’s this interesting startup known as Animoto. It appear on TechCrunch and I think it’s one of the promising startups. Personally, I would love to come back to this site to create any short videos (30 second video is free), and longer ones cost $3 each or ($30 for an unlimited annual subscription.
Animoto allows you to import photos from Picasa, Facebook, Flickr, Photobucket or even your desktop. You can then choose your own music from a list of tracks from the site or upload your own. I added those photos from Picasa and then selected the Latin Music. (I love this Latin song!!!). Just click to make video and then I just have to wait for it to match the photos to the music. I created two music videos and as you can see, the two videos gave different feel.
Within minutes, the video is completed and matches the level done by professional video editors. I love to be able to edit videos to such a standard but I guess I’ll just have to make do with this online tool.
What I would hope Animoto can work on is to be able to include descriptions (wordings that moves around) on some scenes in the videos as well. I’m not sure if there’s such function yet. Anyway, additional functions include downloading the video to your computer or uploading directly to YouTube with just a few clicks. User friendly and they are able to understand what features do users want.
This is a cool application and I’m sure they’ll be a big hit. I mean they are big now with over 100,000 users even though they are in private beta. Do try out Animoto and I’m sure you’ll like the it if you are a music video fan who wants to create your own ‘MTV’.
