A friend recommended a new online presentation-cum-video tool and I’m dying to know
what others think of it.

The tool is called [Animoto](http://animoto.com) – take a quick look and play if
you have the time.  It’s relatively easy to use and is free for individuals.  Even
for organisations, the pricing is very low.

I played for around 25 minutes (inlduing upload time) to create the penguin’s adventures
as a rough and ready example:

Have you come across any better alternatives in terms of value for money, quality,
ease of use.  If so, I’f be grateful to hear about them. 

PLEASE let me know what you think (about the penguin, his friends and the tool, 
if you like!).

Hi kevin

haven’t looked at this tool properly yet but we have come across what looks like
a similar tool by (the dreaded) microsoft, which works around a slideshow principle
by manipulating still images to music

[http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/photostory/default.mspx](http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/photostory/default.mspx)

its free, pretty simple to use, and the only real stipulation is that your copy 
of windows/office has to be genuine (not that anyone would dream of having a ‘fake’
copy of course…)

thanks
