"Good Value, Great Vids"
Version: Animoto
Pros
• Incredible videos - my clients say they are magical and I really am not much of a video editor, but anmoto makes them think i am!
• Good value - I sell about 25 videos a year made on Animoto to my photog customers - actually a bargain
• Now in HD - atleast some themes... finally
• v. good help support - twice i've been answered within an hour by email.
• shown on a digital projector at a wedding or party - these videos are show-stoppers.Cons
• no Droid app - only iphone version
• sometimes, the automated videos take a couple tries to get just right - but no big deal.Summary
I use Animot to make video slideshows for my small weekend photography business. sell them or give them to my clients - they loooooove them. I can crank out a great video in a half hour - and they snap them up. Very easy

"Animoto is a SCAM company BE WARE"
Version: Animoto
Pros
-Easy to use
Cons
-Poor quality videos - for better quality you pay extra $$$
-No way of opting out of automatic subscription renewal. Tried for weeks to no avail. Staff directs me to non-existent 'cancelling renewal' page. Smells like a scam.Summary
Once you sign up, you sign up for life. There is no way of cancelling your automatic subscription renewal unless you cancel your credit card as well. Staff keeps sending you to some account page where it says you can cancel renewal but it SIMPLY DOES NOT EXIST. Many, many other users have had the same problem according to a Google search. Unless you want to spend $30/year for the rest of your credit card life, go to a different company.
I keep getting emails from Animoto saying they will renew my subscription even after requests to cancel my subscription. Dodgy, dodgy, dodgy. -

"Customer Service - WHAT customer service?"
Version: Animoto
Pros
Slick platform. Great for people who excel at still photography but want the benefits of video without the hassle of becoming a video photographer. Engaging and high quality...So what's the beef...read on
Cons
Customer service is a HORRIBLE. There is none. Worse, their videos don't work in Word Press for Internet Explorer - making them USELESS for WordPress bloggers. I tried and tried to get help - got a plug-in that doesn't work either.
Summary
Gorgeous videos - but 100% useless to me and the customer service is nothing short of appalling. DO NOT spend big $$$ for the pro system. Over $200 for something that has no support - I don't think so.

"Animoto Complaints - TERRIBLE Service - DO NOT BUY"
Version: Animoto
Pros
Easy to create videos
Limited options make it hard to screw upCons
NO CUSTOMER SERVICE
Summary
Although this platform is cheap, I invested in animoto because of the need to create a video in a time crunch. After producing the video multiple times, I was sent emails saying that the system failed. I made several attempts to call and email animoto, to which I got NO RESPONSE. So, after waiting 26 days for the video (and still not receiving it), I am canceling my animoto membership today.

"Prices are too high for me!"
Version: Animoto
Pros
None.
Cons stopped me from making an account.Cons
Prices are too steep.
30 second creations for a free account is NOT free!
This SERVICE should NOT be in CNET's freeware category!Summary
And, from several of the ratings and comments I will NOT take a chance buying into a paid account, because I would hate to create a paid account then not receive good customer service.
I would NOT be a happy camper if my money was abused or misused because communications are difficult to pursue. -
"Need help getting in contact!"
Version: Animoto
Pros
Good product, useful- very simple but also professional looking
Cons
Can't get in contact
Summary
Has anyone had luck contacting the CEO or an executive at Animoto? We are a nonprofit that would like to develop a partnership with Animoto and haven't been able to get in contact with them.

"One of the greatest inventions of the digital age."
Version: Animoto
Pros
That I can have a video slideshow completely done in about 15 to 30 minutes. It also is a great marketing tool and my clients love the video slide shows
Cons
Nothing because they are so great at what they do.
Summary
Uploading photos has never been easier. The instructions and help sections are in plain english and easy to follow. I can have all 3 types of video's in about an hour. Lo-res mp4 hi -res mp4 and an ISO for dvd burn. You can't do that with any slide show that I have tried! Animoto is always coming up with new products and ideas for their customers.
