You are going to love it. The more I use it the more I think of more things I can do with it!

Some test video I made in Germany with the Olympus µTough 8000 mounted with a RAM-mount on the handlebar of my motorcycle.

Hi Everyone:)

Just came across this thread and thought I'd post a few of mine...Here are some videos I created using ANIMOTO and then embedded them into my Smugmug site.

Nice!!

A little nostalgic video clip shot at a local VW show with a Sony DSC-F828 set to sepia. 640x480 30fps prog scan.

Used Animoto as a 'Quick' way to make a slideshow. Kind of a pain in the butt really. I generally like the finished product but getting there could be improved.

We were camping in the southern end of the Willamette valley (south of Eugene, OR). Weather turned wet and cold about 1/2 way through our week long trip. Wish I was still there anyway...

Comments welcome and thanks for taking a look.

Spend part of my weekend sorting through video clips from a trip to Europe last week. I'm no video editor and totally new to this, but video takes reliving your memories to a whole new level!

Schmoo, that's awesome!

Really awesome example of what can be done with DSLR video--very inspiring. Can I ask a couple of questions?

1) Did you shoot B&W in camera, or convert in post?

2) Other than possibly the B&W conversion, did you do any brightness or contrast correction, or is this essentially "straight out of camera?"

3) What software did you edit in? The reason I ask is that I really liked the sequences in which you sped up and slowed down the footage and I'm wondering how you went about doing that in your editor.

Thanks for sharing this. I pre-ordered the 7D the day it was announced in the hopes of producing much the same type of video as you have here.

Thanks David, next time I bug you for help before I start hacking and pasting.

Hey Ben and thanks!! I put this video together in a day, actually more like half a day. I owe it all to the ease of the software: I recently got iMovie '09 and I was waiting and waiting for it because it had all the features I wanted, specifically the ability to speed/slow your clips and image stabilization.

(Although I did use the IS on a couple of the clips, I don't reallize notice any additional smoothness, so YMMV.)

It's still best to take your time when you're shooting, I found out. And always make sure you use a sturdy tripod unless you have a few thousand to spend on one of those crazy camera stabilizers that Baldy posted.

So these were all 5D clips, shot in color. AFAIK you can't change that in-camera so I just clicked the b/w setting in iMovie to switch it over. There are lots of other presets, although some of them are a bit cheesy. I was going for the olde timey look anyway, so the slight exposure blips and artifacts I got were actually quite nice. You can adjust the exposure and brightness (and contrast, and saturation, etc) right in iMovie although doing that tends to make things a bit grainy. A few instances I needed to bump it up but I tried to keep that to a minimum.

The 5D firmware now allows you to adjust the ISO and aperture settings in-camera, while you're shooting. Many thanks to Ivar for showing me how to do this! Totally saved my bacon.

HTH and good luck with the new toy!

WOW! Awesome, impressive and inspiring. Kind of like an animated slideshow. Very interesting technique. It's as if a still image is spliced right before the video clip of the same so it makes the image come alive.

By the way, where did the music come from and do you know of any good sources for free royalty free music.?
