Tips & Tricks for Animoto Pro Users

Todays Tips:

"Timing & Music"

Videos stop either when the music runs out or there are no more images left to display - whichever comes first. We display, on average, 24-35 images per minute, depending on how fast/slow the song is.

We allow one song per video currently. The song must be less than 10 minutes.

When producing your video, make sure there are enough images to sustain your song and that your song is long enough to show all your images. You can always do an Editing Remix and add more photos/switch the soundtrack until you get the video just right. You can either choose a song from our collection or upload one from your computer.

The music used in the video completely dictates the type of video that gets produced. For a more mellow video, use a slow song. For something more high-energy, use a high-energy song.

Spotlight Feature and Double /Half Speed:

Use our Spotlight feature while in the Image/Video upload area to let our system know which images are most important to you. These "spotlighted" images will be emphasized and stay on the screen longer.

We also have a feature in the Finalize tab that lets you double the video's pace. This way you can show more images per minute while using the same song. Alternatively, use the half-speed feature in that same area to slow down the song and make your video more subdued.
