Animoto Videos
Animoto allows the user to transform photos and text perhaps a set of power point slides
(effective) into a video movie that captures the viewers attention which we all know is the whole point of any film
we make.
I make no claims to been a spielberg or demille, yet I can make a watch able film using animoto
here's one example and not my best admittedly. Its shown to prove a point even my worst? film is watch able!
This animoto video relates to my easy video producer recommendation for a list building
tool of interest to Internet Marketer's.
Animoto gives you the code to embed the video in any site, on my e.v.p page I give an example of an animoto
video embedded into an easy video template the two work together well.
Social web 2.0 Sites are the big thing online certainly in 2009 animoto has a feature which enables you to post
your movie with a few simple clicks. Below is a snap shot so You can see... this is a powerful tool.
Time is precious animoto saves lots of it... Which you've guessed it! is one
of many reason's I recommend it so highly. I will make a little disclaimer here!
I get carried away making animoto videos sometimes, the video gets animotoed (just made up a new word) and the
results pop out... great but I can rarely resist, sending the video back into the remix machine I do at least
one remix to see if the second video is even better? so it can take a bit of extra time if your like me.
Here's a screen shot of animoto video prices for March 2009. They are good value if you are going to use
the service for commercial reason's remember to get the commercial account...don't get done for copyright
infringement!
A quick word on that if you are making a video for a client buy a licence ie an account
in their name so all the animoto videos you produce on their behalf can be used to
commercially promote their business
Bearing in mind the above it is worth becoming an affiliate for animoto because it makes sense,
you have to charge the client so receiving the commission for it is just sound
business sense.
One bugbear is that lets say you signed up me under a three month contract with animoto using
your affiliate link and the following year you came back to make more movies for me... you would not
receive the commissionable part of the license fee since animoto only pay out once! You would only earn on
the animoto videos production costs you charged.
That aside it is still a good video making tool.
And of course if you are only making videos for fun and the family all the above fee stuff
is irrelevant to you.
April Latest news from animoto 2009
This is big unbranded animoto video. No one will know how your movie was created what budget was behind it
this is a big selling point, if you make or made a movie for a corporate company client their is now no branding
except the clients! how cool is that!
