Reviews

“Thanks to social media networks, YouTube, and ever-present cell phones with digital cameras, creating and sharing videos has evolved from the occasional occurrence to commonplace. Tweens and teens store vast amounts of photos and video content on their phones, iPods and tablets, and Animoto.com makes it easy to stitch it all together to create cool videos to store and share.”-Common Sense Media

“Animoto is a great way to create graphic

presentations. It can be use to create motion

slideshows that can be shown in parties, such as

weddings and other important celebrations. You can

share it to friends and family afterwards; and/or store

it so you can watch it later again. There is a free

version that you can use and practice to see if you like

it or not. So that it can help you decide if you want to

purchase a subscription.”
