Dead-simple video creation service Animoto recently added four new elements to their offerings. For quite a while Animoto has offered backgrounds and “frames” for your videos. Now added to those options are the elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. While not ground-breaking additions to the Animoto service the new elements may be of interest to students who are tired of the same old video backgrounds.
