Hello everyone, this is Angela from AngelaMcCall.com. Today we’re going to talk about how to create an animated greeting card through Animoto. But before I show you I’d like to show you the greeting card I created for Halloween.
(Halloween video playing)
It looks pretty complicated but it’s really not complicated. All it has it includes about 7 photos. And say you created your Animoto account and here we are in front of the page and all you do is just go ahead and click CREATE.
And you can see you have different style or templates here that you could pick for your animated greeting card. They have all kinds. They have the Autumn…and you can play this before you start creating one.
So lets go ahead and pick one.
Let’s say we want to create a Christmas card. Or Christmas greeting.
(Sample video playing)
So you can see it plays about 36 seconds.
So this video takes 36 seconds all we do really is just add photos in there.
So here we are. We are about ready to upload photos. I chose about 7 photos and I’m ready to upload them. Some of these photos are just old photos. And some of the photos I’ve took it from freepik.com. So select all these photos and just drag and drop. And you can see them uploading one by one.
(let’s put some music)
So I guess it uploaded all of them. So let’s preview it.
(Sample video playing)
I’m not sure I really like that song. So I’m going to go ahead and change my song. If you like to change the song, you can go ahead and go here on this icon here, you can see it’s a note. Just click that. Upload a song. And I already like the song I pick — Joy to the World.
(Sample video playing)
That sounds much better. So give it a title — Joy to the World. And you can put the date if you like. And say a little bit description — Christmas Video. And produce.
(Sample video playing)
Say you want to edit the video. I forgot something. Edit the video and let’s put a text on the very last part. Add text. Enter a title. Or enter the person who created the video. Say…Created by Angela McCall. Or you can say Subscribe at AngelaMcCall.com and save. And let’s play that preview video again.
(Sample video playing)
So there you go. You created a video and you can produce it or cancel it. I want to show you something else. So I have added my text and say you wanted to add another song not from your computer. You can select a whole bunch of songs over here, I forgot to show you, so there Love/Romance, Birthdays, Travel, Baby/Kids, Full Library Music, they have all kinds of music over here like they have classical, and you can play it so…(now playing the music)
…and here’s Beethoven (playing the music). So that’s how you select the song. You can go here and click and just choose the ones that you like. So that’s the way you do it.
