Educators can apply for a free Animoto Plus account for use in the classroom. Its powerful features can be used to create stunning presentations incorporating images, video clips, music and text. All videos are totally private unless you actively share your video's link with others and/or post it elsewhere. No one can stumble across, search for, or access your video without your permission.

Animoto videos can be made using the web application or using the Animoto iPad app. The web version has more features and is easier to use.
