Teacher Review for Animoto

Very easy to use, but distracting water marks mean I won't be using it again.

General
How I Use It
I asked student assistants to create Book Trailers using the large photo and music library available. It was a great, creative tool, but the final product on the free version has a ridiculously distracting watermark that really detracted from all the hard work she did with her trailer. Unfortunately, she was too far into the creation process to switch to a different app.
My Take
The watermark used to be in the corner and not as distracting. Now, not only have they raised the prices for the subscription service to a point where no school or student would be able to afford it, we are stuck staring at ANIMOTO in the middle of anything creative a student could have produced.
