Is there a service to produce video like that? Where you'd choose your music, say the texts, and automatically that'll create a couple sample of it?

- genieyclo 15y agoI don't know but am also interested. I do know of services like GrumoMedia that make top-notch vids that lots of startups use to market and intro their product.
- garethsprice 15y agohttp://animoto.com/ http://animoto.com/ does a reasonable job of automating simple video production. Looks a bit generic, but it's a hard problem to solve - things like voiceovers and tightly animated text like in the posted video seem simple but require a fair amount of time, equipment and skill to get right. Any video graphics people disagree? Anyone want to pitch the idea of an automated videographic generator to the next YC? :)
- nodesocket 15y agoThe first time I saw this style of video (kinetic typography) was Gnarls Barkley. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAV0XrbEwNc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAV0XrbEwNc This is also another good example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAuQmJzt_q0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAuQmJzt_q0
- genieyclo 15y agoThe first time I saw kinetic typography was Mos Def's one of Bush Knocked Down the Towers in 2006 I believe on Google Video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bdr_2IAJWU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bdr_2IAJWU oddly timely.
- programzeta 15y agoI think it's a ripe field for experimentation at this point, as it's a very entertaining way to present information. There is/was a series in Australia called Hungry Beast, which produced "Beast File" segments that used kinetic typography in the same manner as this video: Stuxnet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g0pi4J8auQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g0pi4J8auQ Google: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7yfV6RzE30 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7yfV6RzE30 Apple: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj9JVXzoOYQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj9JVXzoOYQ There are more of these segments, but a lot of them have to do with Australian politics / corporations. I've watched them all because I adore the style but it might not be for everyone :) In addition, there have been several labours of love which really showcase what's possible when you make a full production out of such a work, such as this amazing piece of kinetic typography / video done to Jonathan Coulton's Shop-Vac: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4sOfO8Ei1g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4sOfO8Ei1g Any potential company would have their work cut out for them to allow user-generated content to even get close to the above segments, but as the current crop of tools are general professional-level tools (Adobe After-Affects / Premiere or related) there's definitely a specialized gap here.
- eneveu 15y agoRSA also adapts a lot of their talks into animated videos, such as the well-known: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6XAPnuFjJc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6XAPnuFjJc (Dan Pink - Drive : The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us) The difference is that they use "real drawings" instead of computer animations / kinetic typography.
- inkaudio 15y agoWell it's design, so it would be the equivalent of trying to write software to replace the need for a programmer or any worthy craft. If you want unique quality work you'll have to pay it, otherwise you'll have to settle for a generic template and build on that.
- GBond 15y agoIt looks like this may have been made using http://prezi.com http://prezi.com . Zoom and panning seem similar.
