    Hi,

    I wonder, what tools you would use to create a simple, yet professional looking video about a website?

    The idea is to create a video for a website quickly. i have been playing around with animoto, btu wonder if there are other similiar tools that you recommend?

    Thanks,
    Matthias

    PS: Please feel free to post samples to great videos that you created.

    Yes, this is a nice.

    But how about a tool where you just enter the URL and it creates a cool video for you automatically?

    Any ideas?

    i don't know of anything that will just pop-out a cool video for you automatically... but as a side note, you could use something like SnagIt (or another screen capture program)... and use a basic video editing program to put the screen shots together - then add your own voice over audio to explain the site. I think you can even use SnagIt to record video - so maybe you could just do it all in one step. I know I've used CamStudio (free program) to do a few on screen videos too.

    Sounds like a great idea for some simple software. Type in the exact urls you want scanned, select from a few preset scanning views, add in music, choose transition effects, and you have a nice video showing off a website.

    I would use Adobe Aftereffects great program! I would stay away from Windows movie maker and stuff like that because they usually have horrible quality! Some of the mac video programs are not bad though like Imovie.

    Look again at Screenr.com and try ScreenToaster.com. Write a short script to narrate as you demonstrate different pages or content of your site.

    Adobe Premiere has been very kind to us in the past.

    You should always end (or begin) a sentence like that with "in my opinon"... Gives you more cred.

    I am a big animoto supporter. A few screen shots - or even a quick video of the site - along with their amazing graphics and a good soundtrack and you should be in business.

    After Effects is too much overkill, there is a pro package for doing it but can't recall it's name atm. Good luck though.

    If you just like to record your screen to introduce your products, description , I recommend you to choose Camtasia Studio . THat's the best screen recording program I have known.But if you want to add the motion effects for your video advertisement , you know , for the impression, the best choice is always After Effect.
