How to create a video in 3 easy steps
STEP 1
Choose a template and add photos and video clips
Whether you’re developing a school newsletter, promoting a fundraiser, or looking to drive recruitment, you can adapt one of our dozens of pre-built storyboard templates to fit your needs.
STEP 2
Customize your video
Drag and drop your own images, video clips, and logo right into your video, or search our library of Getty Images stock photos and video clips to find visuals for your project. Then change up the storyboard text or find a new song for your project in our music library. Try adding your school colors or pinning your school mascot or logo to the corner of your video with our watermark feature.
STEP 3
Share with your school community
Post your video on the school website, include it in an email, or share your project on social media to reach students, parents, and even your local community.
Promote your school with video
Give a virtual campus tour
Create a school promotional video to show potential students around. Use Animoto to highlights the amenities, faculty, and campus culture that set your school apart.
Connect with alumni
Help alums keep in touch with video updates showing what classmates are up to. Let your former students know how they can stay involved and give back to their alma mater.
Create a fundraising video
Raise funds or solicit donations for school programs or for charity with a striking video. Describe exactly what you need, why you need it, and the impact donors will have if they contribute.
Develop learning that fits any subject
Using video in teaching
Present assignments that can’t go home with students by photographing student work and posting it on the class website or sharing it in class. Or use our educational video maker to create custom presentations that fit your curriculum.
Assign projects that reach all learners
Encourage visual and auditory literacy with projects that give students time for active, independent learning. Animoto also promotes differentiated instruction, letting advanced students create more elaborate videos, while offering more support for students who need it.
Add technology to the classroom
Try our classroom app to develop video-based lessons for students. Offer real-world edtech skills that will allow students to skillfully and responsibly use video outside the classroom. apply for a free Animoto classroom account here.
Connect with your school community through social media
Reach parents, students, and alumni where they spend their time
The average person spends about two hours a day on social media, and most social media platforms now prioritize video content over text or images. That means adding video your social posts will expand their reach, while letting you create more dynamic posts that’ll stand out in your school community.
Make sure important bulletins get seen
Post videos on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram to increase visibility when you’re sharing events, deadlines, school closings, and more. You can even share several important events at once with a quick, informative video newsletter.
Create a platform for sports, teams, and clubs
Recruit for school activities or promote games and competitions with video posted on school social media. Share a virtual pep rally, tease upcoming editions of the school newspaper, or post information about performances and events. Your social posts will help the students involved feel seen, and remind the rest of your school community to come out to support their classmates.
