The direct link from Lightroom is a game changer\! > > **Cons**: While there are a lot of design/template options, I would like more. I make about 50 videos a year and haven’t seen many new designs over the past 2 years. > > Overall, good software. I’m able to quickly produce good videos/slideshows. ----- ### "Animoto for Education" — 5.0/5 > **Michelle** | *22 July 2021* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love Animoto’s ease of use, along with the amazing quality final product. It looks professionally made, even when they’re created by 4th graders. > > **Cons**: I love that there are templates to use, but I find them sometimes restricting. I also wish we could control the amount of time in each slide. > > Animoto has allowed me to present material/lessons in a more engaging way, that is also fun for students (\& myself) to create. ----- ### "Deceptive double payment subscription renewal practice" — 1.0/5 > **Jim** | *13 March 2025* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was OK. But considering the head aches experienced with their deceptive subscription renewal practice, there are better alternatives > > **Cons**: Deceptive double payment subscription renewal practice of auto-renewing and charging your credit card again. > > Ended very badly. Once they auto-renew, it's a nightmare to get it reversed. ----- ### "Image Slideshow to Music Creation App" — 4.0/5 > **Nick** | *31 October 2018* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I remember when Animoto first came out. I was using it in the classroom with students to curate their images for various assignments (book trailers, public service projects, social media campaigns) etc. This was something they enjoyed. There are workarounds to do similar things, like using Google Slides or PowerPoint, or iMovie, but this takes the guesswork out of it. A simple tool to be able to merge images and video into a slide presentations/slideshow and overlay music to it. Comes out very professional looking. Students enjoy sharing these as it requires minimal movie editing experience and is a lot easier than iMovie. If you are using a LMS, I love how you can embed this inside it\! Another way for teachers to be creative in how they deliver the content to their students. > > **Cons**: There aren't a lot of features or customization, but it is pretty straightforward in that you add images, add video, and ick a song. The rest is done by Animoto. There are templates to choose from as well, but would be nice to have a few more features/animations to make it more personal. > > Overall, adds another element to the classroom. I have also used Animoto to put together slideshows of my daughters that come out really well. Love the ability to share easily through a multitude of options including social media such as Twitter and Facebook. ----- ### "If you need to crank out marketing video fast and with few resources Animoto is your go to solution." — 5.0/5 > **James** | *16 January 2018* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: While we produce longer form video using editing software such as Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere we still value our Animoto subscription to create something fast and flashy. For seasonal or holiday-based promotions or events, they have some great 'themed' backgrounds. We really get use out of Animoto when we have people share their photos and cell phone videos from events we can't attend and then we are able to quickly generate fun and engage videos that really capture the event. Being able to create 'square' aspect ration videos easily is enormously useful if your primary distribution is on Social Media. Just as great is the ability to go back and re-edit the video in 16x9 quickly and easily for display on a monitor or video wall. > > **Cons**: Most of the music that Animoto has for its videos get ads placed on them when used on YouTube so we don't use them anymore and instead either upload youtube safe music from youtube or from royalty free music we purchase or own. Animoto has made great strides in creating some of their square and marketing video templates but could use some more holiday/seasonal and general styles as it has been a while since I've seen some new exciting themes. > > Fast and easy way to generate dynamic content from assets submitted by non-professionals. Also a great way to quickly generate Social Media specific video content by professionals as well. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/420891/animoto?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/420891/animoto) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
