How To: Create Your Own Video

Visit Animoto.com and create a free, 30 second video that pertains to your blog's topic. This is similar to slide.com but you can add music and the design choices are a bit different.




1.First, find and save 12 - 15 pictures from the Internet to your My Documents folder. If you'd like, you can use the same pictures that you used in your slide show (slide.com).


2.Create a "free" account in Animoto (it's called the "Lite" account) and then get started. You will be prompted to pay for an account but always select the "free" option.


3.Once you've signed in to Animoto.com, just follow the prompts to create your video.


4.Once it is created, click on the Video Tool Box button to get & copy the code that you need to embed into your blog. If the Video Tool Box button is not displayed on your screen, sometimes, the Embed button will be located directly below your video.


5.On your blog page, in the Edit HTML view,  paste the code for your video in an appropriate location.




Here are a few examples of short videos that I've made:
