Animoto is a cloud-based video creation platform, founded in 2006 and headquartered in New York City, that lets anyone turn photos, video clips, screen recordings and music into professional-looking videos through a drag-and-drop web editor and a large library of customizable templates. It is widely used for marketing and social-media videos, e-commerce and product promos, slideshows, real-estate tours, training and internal communications, and personal celebration videos, and is sold as subscription SaaS across free, Basic, Professional and Professional Plus tiers. Animoto is part of the Redbrick family of brands. It was surfaced as a portfolio company of kindred-ventures. Animoto formerly ran a partner-facing REST API for programmatic video directing and rendering: the API host api.animoto.com is still live and answers every request with an HTTP Basic challenge, but the developer program around it has been retired — animoto.com/developer now serves the marketing homepage, developer.animoto.com and the documented partner sandbox hosts no longer resolve, the help center Developer Resources section is empty, and the official Animoto API Ruby client has not been released since 2013.
