YouTube Thursdays is taking a hiatus this week to celebrate Thanksgiving. However, if you aren't a member of a small, cutting edge and growing group, please take a moment to join. ( Hit icon to go to group page.)
YouTube Thursdays is all about promoting the use of videos and our
YouTube channels.
This week, I am leaving you with some thoughts regarding Animoto. I have the $30 a year membership which gives me a few extra options. I think it works okay, IF you really don't want to edit and work with your own video. Personally, I like the "hands on" approach much better.
Animoto gives you the option to upload small snippets of video and stills, pick a theme and select music. Once you make those decisions, you leave it up to their software to create the end product. It's a good way for the "I don't have time to do it" folks to create some videos.
With that said, perhaps, if I upgraded to the Pro ($249 year) or the Reseller ($499 year), Animoto might be more impressive. This is a video using one of their holiday themes - I tried to use as much video, since Animoto often looks like a glorified slide show.
Forgive the indulgence, this Animoto video is all about me, me and Mac & Me. (Never a good idea - videos should always be about something interesting or a property) We did, however, take a moment to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving and official start to the holiday season. I also think the new Animoto HD holiday theme is quite nice. What do you think?
