Animoto

Animoto is a popular free video cutting and editing website. It allows users to combine multiple images, music and text into an overall video. In addition, you can also add a lot of rich effects to that video to make your video more impressive. However, Animoto only allows free users to create videos with a duration of 30 seconds, if they want their videos to be longer, they have to pay a certain fee of $ 30 / year.

It seems that Animoto only offers a library of music and patterned stories. You can trim these, but ultimately you still have to add in the original content that you filmed yourself or purchased/downloaded elsewhere. This means you often go to the trouble of licensing your non-original content, instead of paying Animoto directly for access to its stock library.

You can output video in a variety of qualities that Animoto offers in two HD resolutions: 720p and 1080p as well as two SD resolutions: 360p and 480p. You have 2 options for video formats, the first is the 1:1 square format that Animoto has just released, the other is a landscape format with a 16: 9 ratio. In addition, they have over 60 templates to choose from for every occasion, from content demos, small photo sessions, to recipes, save dates & promotional comments for YouTube. The tool allows you to edit your fonts, colors, and sections.
