In an article on TechCrunch about Animoto’s most recent round of funding, it was hinted at that there are some more improvements coming to the video creation service. The most exciting of those prospects is the capability for inclusion of video clips within the video you’re making. In other words you could mash-up still images, image captions, video clips, and music into one high-quality video. Watch this video from the Webby Awards for an idea of what this possible feature could look like.
On a related note, if you, your students, or your children are looking for a last-minute Father’s Day idea, Animoto has created some Father’s Day card templates that you can use to create a Father’s Day video. You can read more about that on the Animoto blog.
