How to create a video for youtube using your static cartoon pictures with animoto

[LeahG]

ANIMOTO.com

With this site you can create FREE 30 second videos as seen here:

My cartoon video





You can choose themes, I chose a xmas greeting card theme, but you can choose from others that are not seasonal related etc.

You simply upload the pictures you want to use (about 6 to add some short text, select a picture to highlight, then when done, you can select music from the sites selection or upload from your own computer. It takes a couple of mins for animoto to process your selection and make your video! You can then embed this video on youtube, facebook, your blog site, myspace etc.

It's fun, and it's free!

We can also display your videos here or on our youtube funny cartoons channel

Just seen this now. That's stunning! I'll give it a go.

Quite effective aren't they. When I first came across animoto they only had one format, now they've added themes it's more interesting. Also they've a few more new ones coming soon!

Any vids we'll add to the forum here and via youtube thingy.

Here's a cool one using theme 'Pandoras Box' which is design to display greetings cards, handy!

I love it, just created one and added it to my site. Thanks!

[LeahG]

That's a good un, you got a quite a few images showing on that. Well done, very effective.

Wicked.

ps. now you need to add it to youtube, you do this via the hard to find 'embed' tag.

Then I can add the video to our forum widget and so on and also if you label it 'crazy inventions' video, should get quite a few searchengine hits. Make sure in youtube info first and foremost you put your full web url.
