Music Video Slideshows with Animoto

Posted March 12th, 2008 by Shawn Petriw

Slideshows will never be the same, and with the beauty of sharable, social media, promoting your event or organization on thepulse.ca (and elsewhere) just became a whole lot cooler.

Erick Schonfeld over at TechCrunch says:

Animoto lets you grab photos from Flickr, Facebook, Picassa, Smugmug, Photobucket, or your desktop. You can then upload a DRM-free song or choose from about a hundred licensed tracks on the site. It then does its magic and matches the photos to the music, “mimicking the post-production done by professional video editors,” says CEO Brad Jefferson. I mashed together some old Fllckr photos from a trip to Korea and a visit to HP Labs, added an Electronica beat, and the video [below] is what came out.

30 second videos are free, longer ones cost more or you can have an unlimited number for a $30 annual subscription.

Here's Erick's quick music video slideshow:
