What is Animoto? Animoto produces TV-quality music videos using your photos in just minutes. It's so simple to do too. Choose a song as the soundtrack to your video and Animoto will analyze it. Producing a totally unique video each time, no two videos are ever the same. Sharing them is a cinch as well. Add them to your MySpace & Facebook profiles, on your blog, them to friends, put them up on YouTube or download them onto your computer. Some of Animoto's founders used to produce shows for MTV, Comedy Central & ABC, study classical music in London, play in rock bands in Seattle and develop software in Japan. They developed a patent-pending, Cinematic Artificial Intelligence that thinks like an actual editor and director.
