Animoto Video
What is Animoto Video?
Animoto is a web application that produces MTV-style videos using the images and music you choose. Produced in a widescreen format, Animoto videos have the visual energy of a music video and the emotional impact of a movie trailer. Best of all, no two videos are ever the same. Ever. With the Animoto full version you can also download Animoto videos.
Sharing these videos is easy too. You can easily embed them onto your website and blog or onto social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook. You can also e-mail them to friends and download Animoto videos to your computer.
The guys at Animoto used to produce shows for MTV, Comedy Central & ABC, study classical music in London, play in rock bands in Seattle and develop software in Japan. They developed a patent-pending, Cinematic Artificial Intelligence that thinks like an actual editor and director. This A.I. makes the same sophisticated editing techniques used in television and in film available to everyone.
Animoto Code to get $5 off the 'All Area Pass'
It is true that the Animoto free version is a little limited. If you decided to use the Animoto full version you will need the 'All Area Pass', which is normally $30 for a year. However, if you use this Animoto Software referral code: 'xklrsoeg' you will automatically get $5 off the price of the Animoto full all area pass. This lets you use the Animoto software as often as you like, to make Animoto videos as long as you like. You also have the ability to download Animoto videos which means you can do a lot more with them. Animoto download is only possible if you have an Animoto Full All Area Pass, which is available from Animoto Software, not with the Animoto free software.
