Summer vacation means lots of photos and videos waiting to be edited and preserved, and Animoto for iPad has arrived just in time to make the process easier than ever.
Animoto started out as a Web-based videomaker, added a smartphone app and recently an app for iPad, joining a number of self-serve video apps that are increasingly letting amateur videographers do the work of pros.
This sleekly designed app lets you pick up to 12 videos and photos from your camera roll to use in your film. Then you choose a visual theme and a soundtrack, and Animoto turns your selections into a short movie. The finished product can be stored in the cloud or shared on social networks.
After getting back from a week on the Cape with my family a few days ago, I used Animoto to produce a minute-long video of our vacation. The entire process — from clip selection to watching my finished film — took no more than two minutes.
The free version of Animoto is good for short flicks, but there are limitations: individual clips can't be longer than five seconds, and the entire video is limited to 30 seconds in length. So I took the plunge with Animoto Plus, a $29.99, one-year subscription that works with clips that are up to 30 seconds long, and includes an expanded library of templates and royalty-free music. It also lets users download finished video projects to a computer or DVD.
There are additional subscription plans for personal and business use that allow much longer and more sophisticated-looking videos. Animoto's website blog boasts that a growing number of educators, businesses and photographers are using the service to produce pro-quality videos on the fly.
Animoto isn't the only video template app worth looking at. There's also Magisto, available for Android and iOS, which was just updated yesterday to include improvements that add to its gorgeous look and feel. It's equally easy to use — with themes and soundtracks to choose from that rival Animoto. In some cases, Magisto's finished product looked more professional and heavily edited, but videos took longer to process.
There's also Videoshop, which costs $1.99 in the Apple app store and is worth a try because it has a ton of filters and themes, along with the ability to add any music, voiceovers or text easily from a mobile device. It lacks those fun and artistic templates that are the hallmark of Animoto and Magisto, but it does boast some advantages in the number of manual controls.
So download one of these apps, and impress your friends and family with your newfound video editing "skills."
