How To Turn Your Pictures Into Videos

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth a thousand pictures.

But making a video clip used to be a hard, lengthy process; mostly reserved to apple-worshiping, design freaks (just kidding honey).

That is until now.


Animoto is one of the coolest services I have seen in a while.

It offers a web application that automatically generates professionally produced videos.

Look at what I have been able to produce in a few minutes of work:




Each video is a fully customized orchestration of user-selected images and music.

Produced in widescreen format, Animoto videos have the visual energy of a music video and the emotional impact of a movie trailer.

The heart of Animoto is its newly developed Cinematic A.I. 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.

The technology takes into account every nuance of a song: the genre, song structure, energy, rhythm, instrumentation, and vocals.

Videos can be emailed, embedded on websites including blogs and social network sites like Facebook and MySpace, and downloaded onto your computer.
