Greetings,

I hope you had a great Spring Break 2011.  Today I am sharing with you how to promote your video using the animoto features. I will also be sharing with you additional video hosting sites you may want to use. Alright let's get started on how to promote your animoto video.

As you can see in the picture below, you want to click on your My Videos tab at the top left of the screen and it will take you to your videos page.  You will need to click on the Green Actions button and you will see the following choices listed in the picture below.


 Once you click on the Download button you will be taken to the following screen below.  Now you are ready to save your video to your computer.
 Your video will be saved as a MPEG movie that can be played using Quicktime or any type of software that allows you to play MPEG files.  Choose Save and select a a location you want to save it to.


 You can also choose to share your video.  Look at the picture below and select the Share option.

 After you click Share, you will see the following screen.  This will give you the choice to post your video to many video sharing web sites such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Blogger and many more.  You can also choose to share your video link via Email.

 You can also chose to Export your video to additional video sharing sites.


Down below you will see two video sharing options that you can select from to share your video.


 You can also post your video in your blog or another web site by choosing the Embed option.


 To embed the video, you will need to copy and paste the code into your site or blog that accepts HTML
.

Other ways to promote your video include posting to the following video hosting sites: http://www.teachertube.com/, http://www.schooltube.com/, http://www.video.google.com/, http://video.yahoo.com/, http://www.metacafe.com/  These are just a few sites that you can use to share your video. I hope you enjoyed the four part series on Animoto.  We will see you next week with another exciting topic.  Take care.
