Create beautiful free videos with Animoto

This article will show you how to make high quality videos in just few minutes. When you are finished with this article, you'll have all the training you need to create professional videos for free. To do this, we're going to use a site called Animoto.com.

What is animoto?

Animoto video template site. Basically, you can choose one of their video templates, adding pictures and videos and text and produce pretty good looking video.

To get started, go to Animoto.com and create an account. Don't worry, it's completely free. I'm going to follow along with you and create contracting and basement remodeling video of our friend placebo, Frank Murray. Mr. Murray looking glamorous way to show his work and we have just the thing for him.

Once you have created your account, click "create" in the upper-right corner of the page. This will take you to the page styles, and themes. This is where you will choose your video template. With a free membership, you will have access to all templates except Pro which exclusive (not many). You will be able to switch you later so don't worry too much. A look at a few previews and pick one that you like.  For example, I am going to use a simple.

Click the "make a video 30 seconds for free", and will hit the video-editing interface. Grab a few photos. You can either grab some from Google images or upload your own. We should be able to fit around 8-10 photos in total.

Upload your pictures, and start playing around with the interface. See what looks nice and what doesn't. You can also add text to photos or slides of your full-text. To the right, you can see at my final edit.

After that, you will need to add some music. You can upload your own or choose from a very limited in animoto. I chose "I want you" by John garrison.

* Note: music made in animoto is safe to use with their videos

Add music, rearrange images and add any text you are about to end. Click "Preview", and add a title/product. When you are happy with the final product, click the "products".
