Animoto.com is a free presentation tool (with an awesome upgrade option for businesses) where all you do is upload your pictures, select from their awesome music and through their magical algorithm, it does all the work for you- it creates a unique show based on the images and music, I recommend it for party coverage, showing a home, a neighborhood or a team, here are some samples:
This is a group of fun event pictures of ours:

very cool, I used it on my facebook ez.
Wow!
Words fail me..
Once again Lani Rocks the house!
Thanks for digging that up. It forced me to upgrade to the annual.
That’s pretty freakin’ cool Lani. I needed this, I’ve got a listing with a tired virtual tour. Animoto will spice it up for sure.
Thanks Lani for including my video in the post! It is great to see how others are using Animoto as well…very smart of them to include some “photos” that promote features of the home or the property address. I learned a few things to incorporate into my next video. Very helpful!
I Love this app! Thanks so much for sharing it with us Lani!
Lani – I read about this a few weeks ago and was trying to find it today. I could not remember where I read about it or what I was looking for – then here you go. You guys have all the answers
Thanks for including my video. I also upgraded to the annual subscription for Animoto. It is so refreshing to actually have some FUN in real estate! Thanks AG. This blog rocks.
And another application learned from the Ms. LANI at Agent Genius!!! I didn’t know about Animoto – thank you!!
Hey! That’s me. Bet you didn’t know Lani and I are having an affair.
Very cool stuff Lani! I give it a whirl and here’s what I came up with. The sellers love to entertain outdoors and their house and yard are perfect for it. I appreciated the selection of music and the “fresh” approach to virtual tours.
Missy- have you gotten feedback from anyone?
Ted & Heather- what advantages are there to upgrading?
Vicki- you are so silly!
Craig- your home tour is awesome! Your description/ call to action is great too (on the left of the video).
Ben Goheen’s video ended with his company logo which was genius! Jason Farris’ hand-drawn touches went over well also!
If YOU have an animoto video to share, leave a link in the comments so we can all be inspired!
Didn’t do a house, just fun stuff.
Ooh, I love this tool! I’m off to go play with it for some of my pics! Thanks for sharing!

Lani-
Sorry for the late response.
The advantage to upgrading (and it only costs $30 for the year) is the ability to include many more photos.
These videos are addicting. I just made another, and I want to make a whole lot more!
Hey Lani, You should do a follow up to this post, Animoto is still pretty awesome!
