More Fun with Animoto

I made these earlier today then had to do an open house. I’m pretty sure they are the First Hip Hop Virtual Tours In Tucson.

Two versions of the same home at 1635 Deer Shadow Lane in La Reserve.

The second ever Tucson Hip Hop Virtual Tour

I hope no one gets hurt either laughing or trying to dance to these videos. We hope you are having a great weekend. Oh, Yeah, I’m going to make more of these.

“Hey Dad, this is a cool house I want to live there.” I’ve got a perfect home for the next one. Anybody else want to try Hip Hop Virtual Tours?

Animoto is a BLAST! Who said real estate agents are dull, and real estate boring?

The boys at Sellsius have surfaced and they have done so with a bang in the blogosphere. Introducing some of us to Animoto. Animoto is a blast.

Here is a quick short that took just a few minutes to put together.

Limit your images to 15 and select the 30 sec free option to play around with it.

If you are using Wordpress editor you will need to work in Code view turning off the visual editor as it thinks it is smarter than you are and strips off needed code.

It will display properly the first time, but after that forget it. If you want to work in the visual editor I recommend paste in the code just before you publish. If you want to preview the post with placement then switch user settings to code view when you are done writing and formatting your post. Then paste in the code, preview and publish. (go to users, select your profile, uncheck use visual editor, save)

You will need to remember to make this switch to the code view editor if you want to make changes to the post in the future.

Unlimited length and images can be obtained with an annual subscription of $30.

The only limitation I can find that some will not like. Once you generate the video there is not going back to tweek it with the same effects. You can change the images, and the order of the images and the sound track, but when you click to generate the new video, it is random, you have not control.

Going back to add a forgotten image or taking one out that doesn’t look right will result in the making of a completely new video. If you can live with this limitation you might have a lot of fun with Animoto.

Glad to have Joe and Rudy back in the pool.
