This was a very interesting and fun project to do. I have never used animoto or picnik. I have used freeplaymusic before and I think it is a great site. I used picnik to edit two of my pictures that I used on my animoto video. It was very easy to use and so I made the pictures really stand out by making one a little bluer and the other one was a little brighter. Picnik was very easy to use and didn't take much time to with. Animoto was a little different. I couldn't get my educator account so I could only use the free edition that only lets me make a 30 second video. I tried contacting the company but I only got a sorry message from them. It was still very cool and easy to use but I wish I could have made a long video.
