Starting the Holiday Season! {Video}

Animoto makes saving and sharing holiday memories fun and easy, even for busy families. You’ll find my video (and a code to make your own video for free!) below. Thanks, Animoto, for sponsoring this post.

I have been a member of Animoto (A cool website that helps you make awesome videos with your photos and clips) since forever but actually never made a video before this now. I’ve seen their videos before and really liked them and wanted my own until I finally did and I am loving it so so much!!

The photos and clips in my video (scroll down to watch it) were all taken with my iPhone (The one out here in the post are the only ones with the DSLR) I wanted to do something simple and not get too complicated using my big camera, because then I get too picky and it takes me too long to decide which pictures to use and edit… I focused more on telling a story through the photos and clips than on selecting the perfect photos and I think it worked out, I actually teared-up a little after watching it the first time, I LOVE IT!

Animoto makes it really easy to make a video, the interface is intuitive, I was happy to se that when you are in there you can pull photos from your instagram, flickr, facebook and many other social media accounts so you don’t have to have them all in your computer. You can easily turn off the volume of the clips you insert and you can even cut them a little too. After you finish your video you can share it very easily everywhere too, you can download it in many formats (depending on your type of suscription) and my favorite: Export it to YouTube right there!

They have a great App too (iPhone or Android)! You can even create a video on your phone, I really recommend it, it’s so easy! Now I want to create videos for every occasion!!

Like my video? Make your own and enter to win a prize! I highly recommend you take advantage of it!!

Animoto has graciously offered the code busyparents to MamiTalks readers, which is good for a free video download. And that’s not all…


When you use that code to download a video between now and December 15, you’ll automatically be entered to win a copy of “Capturing Life Through Better Photography” (MSRP $70) by Tamara Lackey, the woman featured in this episode of “Busy Parent’s Guide: Photo & Video Tips for Parents for the Holidays.” Additionally, you can use the code clever until December 15 to receive 20% off a year of Animoto service. All rules and requirements regarding this sweepstakes can be found here.

La página de Animoto ayuda a que todo sea super fácil de hacer, me encantó ver que desde allí puedo subir mis fotos de instagram, de flickr y de un montón de lugares para hacer mi video, no las tengo que sacar todas de mi compu. Para subir los clips, después se les puede apagar o prender el audio facilito ahí mismo, y hasta cortar un poco el clip también. Después de terminar el video hay una ventana donde lo puedes compartir en todos los medio sociales bien fácil también, y mi favorito fué que lo puedes exportar a YouTube directamente sin bajarlo a tu computadora.

Tienen también una App para iPhone o Android desde donde puedes hacer tu video, increible y bien práctico, se las recomeindo, yo la bajé y todo es sencillo, ahora quiero hacer videitos de todo!
