Animoto.com - Create Music Videos

Who hasn't dreamed of either starring in or making their own music video? With minimal effort it is now possible, just log onto Animoto.com and upload the music and the pictures that you want to be in the video. The program developed by Animoto Productions produces professionally produced video using technology that they developed called Cinematic Artificial Intelligence technology that they say, "thinks its an actual director and editor." The program analyzes and combines the images that the user has picked and their music with the same tools that are used in film and TV. The best thing about the site, is creating the videos are virtually effortless, all that needs to be done is to upload the music and pictures and within minutes you will have a professional quality video.

Animoto Productions is a bunch of techies and film/tv producers who decided to lock themselves in a room together and nerd out.
Their first release is Animoto, a web application that automatically generates professionally produced videos using patent-pending technology and high-end motion design. Each video is a fully customized orchestration of user-selected images and music. Produced on a widescreen format, Animoto videos have the visual energy of a music video and the emotional impact of a movie trailer.

The site is as easy to use as you could ask for and very easy to navigate through. The site is clean and very appealing to the eye. This will definitely end up being a service that people end up using to make videos to post to their MySpace sites.

There is no way that the site is monetized currently, so regardless how popular the site becomes, it won't be a money maker unless they make some changes.
