AudioMicro has partnered with Fotolia on a new Animoto like site called Flixtime. Users can create custom, production-quality videos for free using Flixtime’s software and AudioMicro provides the music and sound effects for the soundtrack.
Fotolia and Flixtime CEO Oleg Tscheltzoff had this to say about the site:
“We have been getting more and more demand from users who want a tool that easily creates stunning videos by using images and text. Companies from all over the world have video needs, whether for websites, projects, or presentations. Instead of investing tons of money in equipment, talent, and a location to produce videos, our users can simply use their content, or the images and music provided by Flixtime, to create the videos they envision.”
According to Ryan Born, CEO of AudioMicro:
“We are very pleased to partner with Flixtime to provide the music for such an amazing technology. With just one click, Flixtime users can bring energy and emotion to their videos by adding music. We’ve supplied a handpicked selection, spanning nearly every musical genre and style. With tracks for everyone, Flixtime users are sure to have the perfect soundtrack and take their videos to the next level.”
Users can pick from their own photos and videos or choose from a library of royalty-free stock images that are provided by Fotolia. You then add your choice of music and text and voilia you have an awesome 60 second video with sound effects and music for free.
I made my own video in about 20 minutes using the lalakitteh’s. You can make one much faster but it took me a while to find the song I wanted. Unfortunately I couldn’t embed it even though there was a button that should let you. Click on the link below the pic to see my masterpiece.
Flixtime launched worldwide on February 22, 2010. Follow them on Twitter at @flixtime and make your own video here.
