Photostory or Animoto?

I believe that both Photostory and Animoto were fun to work with.  Since I did the Photostory first and did the voice recording, I was a little disappointed when I found out that I couldn't put the voice on  Animoto.  On the other hand, I really enjoyed the animations in Animoto and like the fact that there was music available that was easy to use. I have seen some of my former students that are Seniors and told them about Animoto and that it might be fun to use to make their Senior slide shows look more "professional" than the PowerPoints that many of them use.  I'm going to teach Photostory and maybe Animoto in Multimedia this year.  I love it when I can use something from a college class in my own classroom when the timing is right.

Both my Photostory and Animoto videos are tutorials about making an All Vegetable Soup.

  1. I really like all the transitions you did in Animoto. I have to say I really prefer Photostory because you can do a voice over. I do agree that Animoto is a fun application to use. Thank you for the cup of soup :-)

  2. Both of your videos are so professional. It was like watching a cooking show without all the extra chit-chat. Nice job!

  4. That recipe looks good. I may have to try it. I liked both of your videos. You did a good job of trying to explain using animoto. I also talked a lot in my photo story and was upset that animoto would not let you do that.
