That is http://animoto.com and I *love* it. I have the commercial version and though it is a little pricey, the ability to burn dvds for free is worth it. I use it with every sales session. All the music is free and included. All you do is upload it, choose the music an voila' a cool video. If anyone is interested, here is a promo code ocwgtpks It will get your money off and gives me free months.

OK, here is a linkity link http://animoto.com/?ref=ocwgtpksAll you have to do is click that. I am lazy. I don't like regular slideshows because they are too slow and I swear I have ADD. The regular version of this has animoto branded all over it, the commercial version allows you to have a button at the end to put whatever link you want and high res videos for free. They look awesome I made a DVD of a bunch of high res videos and burned them so they would play one after the other and loop and it was awesome. Great for those of us who are at shows and stuff. I am going to put one in a bank display!

Tami, You might want to check out what the lady does at our shelter. She is retired and does this full time as a volunteer, she spends hours touching up the photos. She does a really wonderful job: http://petfinder.com/shelters/MD103.htmlShe has someone helping when she does them. She kind of glosses over the cats but does a great job on the dogs. Also, all the photos at my link are of shelter rabbits. They let me bring them home and shoot them overnight, 3-5 at a time, and then I would drive them to get spayed or neutered the next day. Then there is the company I used to work for, which you could apply for a job at, photographing pets at Petco all year long. They have a contract with them. You will get oodles of on the job experience. If you want to PM me, I'll give you that info. Patti

Oh, and I thought of something else.... You're at a cat show, you take and make multiple 3 min slideshows of different shoots at cat shows and burn a dvd of all of them together so it loops, put it on a dvd/tv combo and I guarantee people will stop and stare. Especially looking for their cats, then they will wait to see if their cat is in the show... Then they will WANT their cat in it!!!
Great, you just cost me $99. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif)
Actually I can see this replacing a good deal of display material that I take with me (and don't always have room to put out). This is definitely an attention grabber.

I also have been playing around with this and I love it but....
I am wondering about the time spent on resizing, formatting and "playing" around so that they can create a good looking result. It does not seem to like certain shapes.
Julie have you got a good workflow for this program that fits into your normal work?

Yes, it is really fast. You can use a PS action to resize to 100px and 250kb and that will make a really nice high rez version. If you don't want a high rez version, than your typical 550px and 99kb works just fine. Send those to a folder on its own, and just ctrl A all the files in the folder to upload them, then I might move them around a little, might add a text box here and there and then choose the music and let it do its thing I actually use http://www.nsonic-net.de/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=336&Itemid=0 Which you can change the language to english when you download. It is the easiest resizer I have found. Any resizer works including PS. I use all the photos from a session in a video, but, I cull heavily down to 30 images or less. There is no reason to have a bunch of photos that are just minor variations of the same thing
