film/tv producers who decided to lock themselves in a
room together and nerd out.” –Animoto Producer
• Automatically produces professional videos from your
own photos and music

movie trailer

ever be the same

5. Animoto Versus Slideshows
• Slideshows: capture single moments, slow
transitions between pictures one at a time,
overall time consuming and tedious
• Animoto: bridges gap between photographs
and video, quick transitions between
pictures, several photos at a time, overall
upbeat and animated
