How I made a video slideshow in 5 minutes

I made the video slideshow below online in less than 5 minutes-including posting it onto my blog! And it was free!

I made it using Animoto, a FREE video slideshow making tool online. While I don't think these would be that good for trying to show off a property as they are more artistic, they are a nice change from the usual slide shows that everyone else has and might be good for slideshows about a neighborhood or an event. Oh, and the video slideshows aren't just for your blog either-there are several options of what you can do when you are finished creating it (email it, have it create a post and automagically post it to your blogger or wordpress blog... etc.). Enjoy!

Jim,

Just FYI. After I posted and went back up to look at it again, the video was gone out of the box??? Only your text was there???

Hi Jim,

Great find Jim!

Yes, Animoto is a great creative tool. Here is a sample property site using Animoto:

Is it not working anymore? I cannot see the slideshow.

Nevermond...now it comes up after posting I cannot see it. Sorry. Good Stuff. Looks good.

Glad that it is working for you now! Every once in a while there is a slight delay as it loads, but, in general, Animoto slideshows seem to come up fairly fast.

Jim: Thank you for the freebie. I am going to try it out.

Jim- Thanks for the post. I had no idea about this site and there were 2 others mentioned above. Thanks for sharing: it looks really cool.
