Animoto: This easy way to music vidieos


I came upon this site about six months ago and have been loving it ever since.  This site takes boring photo slideshows and puts them on steroids but does all the work for you.  It's literally a three steps program.
1.  upload your photos/video
2.  upload or add music already on the site.
3. Hit Done.

Here's a little video I did for my sister and brother-in-law for their anniversary.


The amount of time you will have to wait for the video to be finished will determine on how many pics and/or videos you have. A 3 mins video will take about 45 mins to render, but the system will email you when it's done. 
 
Keep in mind the videos will only be 5-10 secs, it's meant to highlight a part of the video.

You can do Free Short Video (30 secs) or upgrade to the Full Videos for ($30 a year).  I've already completed 20 videos or so in the six months I've been using the program. 


Common Questions:

Do I have to pay $5 to download.
---No, only the high resolution videos are $5 which are made for TV.  You can download a small version for your computer.

Can I upload my own music.
--Yes, I usually use my own music.

Can I use Itunes...
--There is a disclaimer on the website reference copyrighted music, so check out our post tomorrow on converting music files.

What's in a WiFI name?


The other day, I was looking into some Router issuees at home and noticed something pretty funny about my neighbors. 
1.) they have a sense of humor
2.) they have some very intersting WiFi names.

In my block radius of the house I found the following names:

"I own a gun and know how to use it"
"Couger seeks cub"
"Get your network"

I can pretty much tell you which network belongs to which neighbor but I'm sure if you're new to the neighborhood this could be a fun game of match the neighbor to the WiFI network.
