Create a Video Slideshow and Trailer for your Blog

Here’s a practice video slideshow I made at Animoto in ten minutes for free.

A Greater Consciousness

Yes, I know, it’s pretty bad, but you have to start somewhere.

Practice makes perfect.

Now it’s back to Animoto for an upgrade ($39), so I can expand my slideshow in length and add words to express my brand statement.

Give it a try.  It’s easier than you think.

    Nifty. I don't think I can get 10 minutes online because of internet provider problems, but this looks like great fun! Thanks.

    Hi Kay. I've seen some of the results of other slideshows made at this site and was quite impressed. Mine needs work, more than 10 minutes of time. The cost is fractional compared to hiring an expert.

    Hi Debra. I just have to search out different music, since this is the same one as yours. Most that I heard were vocals and I want just the sound track. Maybe I'll get more selection with the upgrade.
