Media
I upload 13 photos and 4 videos. That is too many photos for a 60 second video about 4 businesses, but it is easier to play with my options with every good picture already uploaded.
Ratio
I can easily make a 1:1 Facebook video, and I may do that later. But since the video will be shown in class on a large TV, I will choose 16:9.
Design
Here I can change the text box color and background color and font. The chamber of commerce has set colors for their marketing. I'm not doing this to market for them, but since it is a chamber activity, I will change the colors to their colors. Easy!
Filters
Black & white, cool, warm, denim, fade, darken. I don't use any of these filters.
Music
Animoto has over 2000 royalty-free songs for you to choose from. I will do this at the end.
Add a Block
It is easy to add a new block for my content: photo, text, video, collage, or logo.
It takes me about 1 hour to play around and get my video the way I want it. The music that Animoto automatically put in place is fine, so I keep it.
Here is my final video! Questions? Ask me!
