2. 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, e-mail 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.
