Animoto is a web application that produces videos from user-selected photos, video clips and music.
Animoto analyzes the provided photos, video clips and music, using them to generate a video similar to a trailer. According to the website, the song is analyzed, producing a unique video every time. The site also claims that no two videos are ever the same.
History
Animoto was founded on August 2006, and launched as a website on August 14, 2007.
Animoto is based in New York, with an office in San Francisco.
While attending the SXSW Interactive Festival in March 2008, Animoto launched their own Facebook application.[7] It became a popular way for users to showcase their photos on the social network.
The Animoto Facebook application experienced so much viral growth in April 2008, that it became one of Amazon Web Services's cloud computing success stories. By mid-April, Animoto's Facebook application had nearly 750,000 people sign up in three days. At the peak, almost 25,000 people tried Animoto in a single hour. Amazon Web Services's ability to meet the demand of Animoto's viral Facebook application resulted in Amazon.com's eventual investment in Animoto. Jeff Bezos includes Animoto in speeches he gives regarding Amazon Web Services.
Along with releasing the Animoto Facebook application in March 2008, Animoto was also a YouTube launch partner for YouTube's API. Animoto was integrated with YouTube, allowing users to export Animoto videos directly to YouTube easily. As of August 2009, nearly 250,000 videos have been uploaded to YouTube.
On June 2008, Animoto introduced DVD-quality upgrades for users, allowing them to watch their videos on a television.
By July 2008, Animoto for Business and Animoto for Educationwere launched. Animoto for Education gives teachers and students unlimited access to its full-length video making services for free, while Animoto for Business allows for Animoto to be used commercially.
Since an overwhelming number of professional photographers started to use the Animoto for Business product, Animoto for Photography ]was launched in October 2008 at PhotoPlus in New York City. Since launching, Animoto for Photography has attended every national photography convention, including the Professional Photographers of America's Imaging Conference & WPPI. Animoto for Real Estate is another off-shoot of the commercial product, which officially launched at the Inman Connect Conference in San Francisco in July 2009. Animoto's pro-package is a White-label product.
In June 2009, the Animoto iPhone app was launched, allowing iPhone users to create video using pictures taken on their phone.
In August 2009, Animoto launched the ability to upload video clips, along with still images. This has been the largest advance to the Animoto offering thus far.
In April 2011 the company added functionality for Apple TV and AirPlay users.
