Hey Michael….I really do appreciate your honest feedback on this post. This video was created using a free (they also call this “lite”) Animoto account. Exporting your video to YouTube directly from Animoto is still available with the free (lite) account.

You’re absolutely right though, the pricing options have changed and I will update the post to include their latest pricing models.

Cheers,
Hani

Hey Hani, your post above is a bit misleading in that the free version does NOT allow you to do everything you demonstrate. You cannot even upload it to video sharing sites according to their price comparison chart. How about putting out a new and updated blog post that discusses the various options, instead of misleading your customers on your mailing list?

Mike..you rock man! I’m so proud of ya

I’m so glad to see you taking action and creating videos for your website. I really can’t wait to see them. Please do keep us posted on when they are up.

If you need anything and anytime, don’t be shy to ask.

Can’t wait to see your online videos.

Also, following your instruction, I bought two clamp-on lights, two 100W bulbs and two white shower caps. I made mounts out of two pieces of 1X4 and two pieces of 2X4, nailed them together and clamped the lights on them. I set one on each side of my new iMac, plugged them in–and they are bright.

I’ve been practicing a short script I wrote to introduce my blog, http://www.insomniasimplysucks.com, on Youtube. I decided on a script (crutch?) for my first video of myself because I’m afraid I’ll look like an idiot without one. I know that’s contrary to what you say about not worrying about making mistakes, but I like to look as professional as possible, even though I’m not.

I’ve been practicing using my digital voice recorder and have started practicing using the camera in my iMac. I should have my video made by the weekend. I’ll let you know when it’s posted.

I didn’t know how to do any of this until I discovered your videos a couple of weeks ago. I guess I’m a slow learner because I’m from an older generation. I like to blame my ignorance of computers on my age.

Thanks again, Hani.

Hani,

Here’s the twitter link: http://animoto.com/s/nU5CUD6cSMIENzJfwYA0sA

An hour ago it had five views at Animoto; now it’s had 35.

I would. But the video I made was of my daughter, now 27, growing up through the years. She didn’t like her pictures/video on facebook and made me delete it. She said she would be embarrassed if any of her friends saw it.

It’s still on my Animoto account. Is there any way that you can see it there?

I just forwarded it to my Twitter account, so it’s now online again. Shauna doesn’t have a twitter account, so she’ll never know.

Hey Mike,

Great to hear…I’m so honored to have had a small role in you creating your first video I couldn’t find a link to your video on Facebook, do you mind sharing it here in the comments. I’m sure others would love to see it as well.
