Animoto Is A Year Old

Animoto is an introduction to movie making made easily. There is no need to brave the very steep learning curve of Final Cut Pro and for those not exposed to iMovie, this web application fit a suitable need with a limited amount of time.

I did a previous review of Animoto here. In that review I spoke about the finer points of Animoto and its uses for those looking at creating quick vids to share with friends and families, and even embed into websites.

I want to congratulate Animoto for hitting their one year celebration and wanted to share a few numbers they shared with me via their email announcement:

1. 4 million videos have been made on the Animoto platform
2. More than 250,000 users in 200-some countries have registered on Animoto.com
3. Animoto vids have been watched over 50 million times on Animoto.com, blogs, social networks, video sharing sites and web sites around the world!

I also want to share with all the readers of Crenk some new features for Animoto!

1. You can now pick your own images to use as the cover for your video as opposed to the static images provided by Animoto.

2. Animoto for your iPhone!!! That’s right, now you can watch your Animoto videos on your iPhone and a hint at a possible iPhone app. We’ll be sure to review it when it comes out.

3. you can now incorporate logos and panoramics into the videos which was a long standing issue.

Animoto is a definite most for those of us looking at creating videos for presentations, thank you cards, get well cards, parties/events.
