Today’s tip is a little late as I had to get access to some photos of my kids in order to demonstrate today’s site: Animoto. Animoto is a new service that lets you upload photos, pick a soundtrack (or upload your own), and Animoto will automatically build a slide show for you. There are A LOT of sites and local software that will do this for you. What makes Animoto unique is that it uses web mojo to “analyze” your photos and music to create a unique (and flashy) slide show. You’ll also have two options of slide shows, free ones up to 30 seconds in length, or longer ones that involve a small fee.Here’s the breakdown:
- Create an account
- Decide what kind of slide show to create (free or fee)
- Upload your photos OR it can automatically pull them from Flicker and other photo hosting sites where you have accounts
- Choose one of their songs or upload your own
- Hit Submit
It’s that easy and gives you something to do with the photos you take this summer! Here’s the example video I’ve created:

Have a great weekend!
