The end of the slideshow
Grab a few images, put them together with artistic, professional looking video effects, a touch of subtle background music and publish in a video format. All in under 5 minutes? No this is not a tutorial, in fact you don’t need to know anything about video, music or such things. If you have a bunch of images, just throw them at Animoto and it does it all for you! This is really is quite neat.
It took me longer to write this post than produce this video!
Honestly, this video took a couple of minutes to produce. I had the images already in a folder on my pc. The tool can also grab images from Flickr or Facebook or one of a number of photo hosting tools. I then chose one of Animoto’s music tracks, hit continue and out popped this video. It took me longer to write this post than produce this video!
I could see this being a very useful tool for worship leaders. Think of your theme for Sunday, grab some free images or your own photos to fit, go to Animoto, ten minutes before you leave for church and it will look like you’ve been up all night on this one.
Go and make your own at Animoto. A worship background video with no tears or late nights.
Brilliant!

Thanks for directing me to animoto. I tried creating a (paid-for) long video and then downloading it so I could playing it without needing a net connection. However the flash plugin for gnu/linux isn’t as far along as the windows one and when you attempt to download nothing happens!
However by digging into the files in /tmp I managed to workaround the issue.
