Animoto Logo

Animoto.com is a web application that creates MTV-style videos with the click of a button.

Users simply choose a song and images. Animoto then automatically generates a unique video for them. No two videos are ever the same.

Many of the post-production techniques that the founders used while working as producers for MTV, Comedy Central & ABC are used in Animoto's patent-pending Cinematic Artificial Intelligence developed to think like an actual editor and director. The resulting video is produced in a widescreen format, containing the visual energy of a music video and the emotional impact of a movie trailer.

Animoto Productions is based in New York City with an office in San Francisco.

Animoto has given me a free account to try out their product which is really cool and the best thing, easy to use, all you have to do is upload your images and select your soundtrack and it's done. I selected a bunch of really good works so you can enjoy this great video.

Sound Track by:
Track Lolly Pops (Instrumental)

All Images used are from Deviantart Galleries, here are the list of artists that have been featured on this video.

Nice video.

The only problem with Animoto is that you have so very little control over the actual animation. You can only influence it by marking "important" pictures, and that's it, the rest will be done completely automatic. Nice if you quickly need to put something together, but not really useful if you have a clear vision in your mind or if you don't want it to look like any other video from there.

@eU-aLeX - the key is simply to add the right soundtrack..

Ack! Maybe this will help put an end to horrendous Windows media slideshows!

Yes true it is nice but have you seen the new iLife? And here I am referring to the new iPhoto09. The amazing slideshows you can make with that new are just amazing.

You collected all these pieces off deviantArt and didn't bother to include http://adonihs.deviantart.com/ ! Shame! Nice collection, though, I'm already a fan of many of these.
