Animoto

I found an awesome technology tool known as Animoto. It allows the user to produce and create videos from photos, video clips, and music. It is able to analyze whatever you upload wether it is a picture, clip, or audio, and it creates something similar to a trailer that is associated with the information that you gave it. Something that it is very interesting about this site is that when you use this tool to make trailers or videos, no two videos are the same. It always creates a unique video depending on what you use to create that video. The videos can also be similar to slideshows which look very professional. The way I see it is its almost as if this online tool takes on the role of a movie producer or film editor. Once you have made a video that you like using the genre that you choose, you are able to upload it to your personal sites or even online public sites such as youtube. It is a highly advanced technology tool that is said to have artificial intelligence. If you give it the right information it then is able to think on its own to create a slide show or video that it considers similar to the music, or photos that you provide it. You can use any type of photos for use in this online tool. They can be from google images to your own personally scanned photographs. The same applies to music. It can be something you found online or audio that you yourself have uploaded into your computer. This allows Animoto to create a more personalized type of video for its user. Like stated before no two videos that it creates are the same, so while it may not be exactly what your looking for, there are pretty good chances that it will create something even better for you.

  1. This might be useful, but don't you think it takes away from the creativity of the students?
