Hi, I'd like to know where to find the members who create videos for you. I'd love it if you could point me in the right direction.
Many thanks and best wishes,

Darren

Online Video Story is a one time fee alternative. It's better for marketing than Animoto because you can make your video tell a story. It can create videos completely automated, from photos and/or text articles.

I love ProShow Gold. It isn't anywhere near as expensive as the more professional video editing programs, but you can do some way cool things with it.

They have a nice user community that contributes as well.

there are many video making sites, here are some:

Xtranormal | Text-to-Movie

Clipgenerator

And if you need a video hosting:

Upload videos! Free home video sharing and editing. Secure Home Movie Archiving, Hosting and Storage.

a good free video editing site is:

Pixorial, Inc - Convert, Preserve, Organize, Produce, and Share Home Movies and Videos on DVD or Hi-Resolution Downloads

Hope those helped you

Arbitrager,

Why is that? I been using them without having any problems?

Because even with a business account at Animoto you cannot pass the completed video onto another business unless they too have purchase an account for $250.

Here's the terms direct from the horses mouth:-

The Terms of Service allow for you to re-sell videos to individuals, but not to other businesses.

Each business using Animoto commercially must have their own Animoto for Business account. However, feel free to re-sell videos to individual people (for example, a videographer selling a video to a couple who just had a wedding).

So a single video produced by you, for a business customer would cost $250 for your account and another $250 for their account..... $500 for a video is quite expensive don't you think.

Jeff

I would look at muvee.com it does the same as Animoto but I think you have a better choice in the themes
You can also get a free trial to see if it fits what you are looking for

I tried it and maybe I overlooked things, but it seems you can't control the video length (everything seemed to be 3s), and you have to upload music, they don't provide any.

I'll try the free trial even though I'm tired of installing software on my loaded PC, but it seems music samples are only available for the $399 business package...

As for Animoto, what, they don't like us paying customers? They use to have a $499 a year license PLUS $25 per business. That was pretty steep in itself, but now even that's gone. Who will pay a full license each time?

They would be the #1 solution if they allowed it. As of now, no money for them. Stupid IMO.

Thanks

Business 2 business?

Ive been using Animoto for well over a year now and they have been great. It saves a lot of time, it looks great, and best of all, does the job of converting visitors into buyers.

Been having great success with them both for clients' sites and my own sites as well.

You might want to get the business edition though.

Hope this helps.

Well guys I just gotta say this is abooming industry.
A while back I also looked for options for Animoto.
The AVS Video Editor will get a visit from me as I liked what I briefly saw on their homepage.
Nevertheless I can understand why people would like an alternative to Animoto though. In my experience I LOVE the videos. I really do. A change in themes is what is lacking in my opinion though. I hoped they would add more themes recently but sorry to say they have not been as occupied with that aspect. The reason for me writing here is to thank all of the contributors for their excellent advice to people searching for alternatives. Really good to see the best forum online alive Cheers.

  There is a new and real alternative to Animoto now, created by the ProShow Gold People called ProShow Web.
  
  I just came across it while considering buying ProShow Gold. I've only signed up to the free version for now, but may upgrade to the PRO Show Web version as they don't have any restrictions on re-selling videos you make, unlike Animoto.
  
  I wrote a blog post here about it where you can see my first slideshow attempt with ProShow Web.

No matter what solution you guys are going to use, be sure to check out the Terms of Service pretty carefully.

Some of these services have some pretty strict rules on use for promotional/non-personal purposes. Including charging you quite a bit for every video you create that you want to use for professional/commercial/promotional purposes.

The point I'm making about ProShow Web is that their license for PRO allows you to re-sell, no strings attached.

Check out TrueKat Show at TrueKat Digital

It has a lot of good stuff for a very moderate price. Making videos is a snap - drag and drop images and you can see immediately the preview - no waiting! Everything is real-time.

It can export Full HD video and direct export to YouTube and Facebook is supported.

There is no limit of how many videos you can create and no annual fees. The number of available themes is constantly growing.

The tool is perfect for small ads and promotion videos. There is a trial version, so you can try it before buying.

Hope this will help.

Thanks

I just noticed that Stupeflix allows control of slide durations. It's the only one of these services I've seen that allows that.

No affiliation and I haven't tested it yet.

It seems to me that if the point is to pay a minimal monthly fee, the best thing to do is to pick up a copy of Sony Vegas on Ebay. It is extremely versatile and you will find more use for it than just online videos. You can pick up targeted online video clips cheap from Pond5.com as well as royalty free music. But I have been able to get professional royalty free music without much cost from Digital Juice.

This is not as easy as some of the other solutions mentioned, but it isn't hard, and you can create a very professional video using these tools.
