Animoto: Slideshow 2.0

We have all had to sit through a boring slideshow. There is and never will be anything that ca make dozens bad and boring pictures interesting. But finally there is animoto which amazingly takes your best photos, and magically synchronizes them with professional quality visual effects, and your favorite music.

This is such a perfect example of cloud computing done right, it is no accident that amazon has made them a poster child of their cloud services.

I am also a huge Picassa evangelist - Once you have a web album in Picassa (or facebook, flikr,smugmug,OR photobucket!!) the integration to Animoto is beautifully simple.



After having of actually made slideshows "manually" in a video editing program - using animoto almost feels like cheating. There is now hassle with my computer freezing - or being tied up for hours while I try and render a 5 minute video. All of the heavy lifting is now done by the Animoto cloud.

You can make as many 30 second videos as you want for FREE. Try it - I promise it will take you less than 15 minutes. Once your mind is blown - use the link below to save $5 on the the membership to create unlimited full length videos for a year.
