Youth First Aids

Another online resource that I have been using is Animoto. This is a great way to create photo slideshows into very eye-pleasing, professional looking videos. It is a web application that produces the video for you - you can add your own music, text and even highlight certain pictures.



If you are a church organization, you can apply for a free Premium Account as a non-profit organization - which is definitely a bonus. I have used Animoto for our Kidz Church videos, VBS Promotions as well as Missions videos. I would also use Animoto to create videos to show before youth nights to highlight events that have just finished or to promote an event coming up (by using last years pictures). Way easier than editing something yourself - especially when it's something that is only going to be shown once or twice. If you haven't already, make sure to check it out!
