Animoto is a web application that produces videos from user-selected photos, video clips and music.
Animoto analyzes the provided photos, video clips and music, using them to generate a video similar to a trailer. According to the website, the song is analyzed, producing a unique video every time. The site also claims that no two videos are ever the same.[1][2]
By November 2009, 1 million users had registered at Animoto. Their iPhone application has been installed 300,000 times and two million Facebook users have used the Animoto Facebook application.[3] One year prior, in August 2008, 250,000 users in 150 countries had been registered with Animoto.com.[4]
About 10% of users who register at the site end up paying money, so the company has had cash flow since October 2008.[5]
Investors of Animoto include Amazon.com, Spectrum Equity Investors, Bruce Livingstone, the founder of iStockphoto & Madrona Venture Group.[3]
Some of the founders include former producers at MTV, VH1, Comedy Central & ABC. Animoto utilizes the post-production skills some of the founding team honed while working in television in order to produce online content that is on-par with content found on TV & in film.[2][6]
