Animoto – Professional quality photo slide show software you can use today

Let’s face it – most slide show programs are pretty boring. Until today, that is. Animoto’s leading edge photo slide show software has changed slide shows forever.

Now you can turn your photos into something special with Animoto. Upload your photos, pick a sound track, set a couple of options and you get back an MTV-worthy music video with staggering visual effects.

Animoto puts artificial intelligence to work for you, analyzing each slide, synchronizing the slides with the music, and selecting visual effects to fit the whole composition. Animoto replaces human video editors with incredible programming.

You can play the hosted movies onine  and send invitations to your friends to see them, too. You can also download the movies to your computer ready to play on the computer and also as ISO images ready to burn into DVDs. Watch the colors and details pop when you watch your photo slide show on your big-screen TV!

When you have several movies, use your favorite Movie Maker program to put them on a full-length DVD. Each movie becomes a separate scene in the assembled movie.

Even with great photos, it is hard to find the ones you are looking for. A DVD with your movies allows you to surf your pictures to find the ones you want easily.
