Presentation
The following is the Animoto home screen where you can sign up to use the app.

The following is your account dashboard that will appear once you have registered or logged in. Here you can view your created projects or create new ones by clicking on the "create" button.

After clicking on "create" Animoto will ask what kind of project you want to create. "Animoto 3" allows you to create more professional videos than "Animoto memories" which, on the other hand, allows you to create more personal videos. In addition, the editing screen and templates available change depending on the video creator you choose.

If you choose "Animoto 3" as your video creator, you will be able to choose from the following templates, which are divided into various types, or create a project from scratch by clicking on "start from scratch."

This is the editor for "Animoto 3." From the top menu you can choose the design (choose a default theme, add transitions and effects, and choose text settings), audio (choosing from different moods and genres), video format, and leave comments. In addition, you can record the video screen or record with the webcam, but do not use the two options at the same time.
In the center you can view your project, change its layout, color, add text, and increase/decrease the time duration.
In the pop-up menu to the right of the screen you can manage your media, either by importing it from your PC or by using the media the app provides; to add it to the video simply drag it to the center or to the summary bar at the bottom. The last one allows you to assemble the elements of the video and is composed of blocks. Each block can be added using the "+" button and you can choose its layout, so for example, media only, text only, or media plus text, and more.
With the "play" button you can view the final work, and with the "share" button in the upper right corner you can invite collaborators via links and share it on social media.

"Animoto memories" works differently.

For "Animoto memories" you can also choose from several different styles, divided into categories.

This is the "Animoto memories" editor. From the menu on the left you can always change the style of the previously chosen video, add photos and videos by uploading them from your PC, from Facebook, Flickr and Dropbox, or by choosing from Animoto's media library. In addition, text boxes can be added.
In the center, you can add text or media slides and select their accompanying song from Animoto's library, or by uploading it from your PC. By selecting on "add another song" you can choose a new song and corresponding text or media slides.
Once the video is finished you can view the project by clicking on "preview video" at the bottom left, if it doesn't fit you can always continue editing, otherwise by clicking on "produce" you can download it or share it on social media.
