Animoto: I really liked working with this program. But, it took 30 minutes for my pictures to load. Then, I had to create the show five different times because it would cut off my end slides. I finally figured out that your slides can not exceed the length of the song. I'm also not a fan of the words having to be on a separate page than the pictures. There was a lot more explaining that I could have done if I could have put text on the picture. Other than that, I love the result!
PhotoStory: This program was really simple to download and easy to follow. Many of the commands are the same as Microsoft Word which made it really easy to navigate. I didn't like the simplicity of this software. It needs some spice!!! I think that my end result was rather boring! But, I loved the fact that I could put text on the pictures.
All in all, I'd use Animoto over PhotoStory any day. I have also already recommended Animoto to a colleague!
I liked it! cute idea :-)
ReplyDeleteCute video. Your girls look so good! Now you have to show me at work tomorrow how to use this program on my classroom website! :)
ReplyDeleteI loved Animoto too! It made things more fun, even though it's a bit limited on the text flexibility. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed Animoto too, it was a lot of fun putting videos together on there. Great job with your video! What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteFun video. Have your cheerleaders seen it yet? I'm sure they will enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteWhat is really great about animoto is you can also include video clips which can really add to the story besides the still images. I would be really neat if you could capture some short clips between the still images. And even though they don't tell you about the images and music having to time out correctly, I have combined songs to get a longer track, but they do have a 15 mb limit for the audio upload.
ReplyDeleteBoth apps have their place in usage. I kind of think Photostory's boring BUT, for kids to put together a presentation it's a lot more fun than just Powerpoint. If there's no need for a lot of explanation/text Animoto is cool because it's got nice transitions and music. You used the apps well though, boring or not ;)
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures!! The girls look like they had so much fun taking the shots for your project. I don't know anything about cheerleading, but even I understood what was going on! Great job!
