Many of my favorite songs have disappeared, with not much to replace them. > > I've been using Animoto for nearly 10 years now. What started out as a simple tool to create photo slideshows to help boost sales (I'm a photographer) has turned into a BIG part of my marketing process. Videos are HUGE nowadays, and Animoto allows me to create custom slideshows with licensed (non-cheesy) music, which are easily shared out on clients' social media sites, etc. (Word-of-mouth marketing that actually gets people's attention.) And with their new marketing templates, I can now quickly create how-to videos, informational videos, and other things that are Facebook and Instagram-ad ready\! ----- ### "Fan for life" — 5.0/5 > **Michael** | *14 February 2018* | Higher Education > > **Pros**: Ease of publishing and editing videos. I like that I can use my own music or music from the vast library they have. They have accounts for Education and I use it at my school as well. > > **Cons**: I like that the Education accounts are free but the signing up process for getting your students accounts can become a little bit laborious especially since you have to renew the license each year. It is still free so I won't complain too much. ----- ### "Slideshow Wizardry" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *15 March 2019* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I can't lie: if one were motivated to produce a not-quite-narrative--an advert or "spring break memories\!" type video, a tutorial, even--in a few minutes, it would be fine. Animoto lets you drop your media into a box that you then distribute across their templates (which are fine) or into a from-scratch video, and boom. > > **Cons**: It's not very powerful and hasn't many options--which is fine in some cases. You can change fonts and the order of your media. Something about the way their fonts lay in the video is just UGLY, though. Their animations are... hmm. And their templates only seem to look decent if one's media is professionally-shot. If you have an idea in mind (ie narrative notions or original editing style), skip this one. If you like using animated gifs, keep on looking. (NOTE: You CAN import a gif, it's just that it won't be animated in your video.) Also, the layout of the web app is pretty but not very intuitive. > > Wanted to like, and I don't actually think this is a BAD app, it's just that I'm a creative control-freak and Animoto has JUST enough customisation that I was tricked by the illusion of choice. Another app, "M," has a mode with zero control except for the photos you choose. You can't even change the order. And knowing that, it's easier to accept the not-controllingness bit. But a few TINY choices make this a "Thanks but no thanks\!" for me. :/ ----- ### "Animoto Use for Graduation and Promotion Videos in Graduate School" — 5.0/5 > **Maria J.** | *16 May 2019* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Animoto is EXTREMELY easy to use, I am not tech-savvy and was able to easily use this program to make videos. I have been using it for graduation videos where I put together pictures from graduating undergraduate students alongside their reflections on their program and area of study. Parents and students love watching these videos. I also made it to promote programs and classes. > > **Cons**: I would like to see more variety of video templates. ----- ### "Awesome video maker tool." — 4.0/5 > **Harmanpreet** | *23 August 2018* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is awesome cloud based video maker tool. It allow users to create beautiful videos and slideshows. It is very easy to use and provides user friendly platform to create, share and download presentations. It allow users to create personal and business slideshows. It provides lot of templates like birthday, holiday, valentine etc. Users just need to select photos, videos, audio track and template, after couple of minutes awesome video is ready to play and share. > > **Cons**: Sometimes users need to cut or merge audio track and videos before creating slideshow on Animoto, it does not provide that feature. Users have to use another tool for that purpose. > > I love Animoto. I have created lot of personal and business videos on Animoto. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/239227/animoto?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/239227/animoto) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
