Animoto Video App Test

We're always testing out new web apps.  Today we tested the lite (free) version of Animoto.  Here's our take on it.

Lite Account Limits:

There is a limited library of pre-designed templates.  Most importantly, clip duration is limited to 30 seconds...which means you need to keep it brief.

Story Telling Features:

You can upload your photos and videos and add text "slides" to help tell your story.

Be Social:

Our favorite feature is the ability to auto publish on YouTube.  After that, export and download the MP4 file and upload to Facebook and Google+.

Our Test:

Here's what we came up with.  Not bad for less than an hour worth of effort.  Domo arigato Mr. Animoto...

Note: Video has soundtrack, turn down speakers.

The Verdict:
If you are looking for a free and simple way to create a video, give Animoto Lite a spin.
