Have you uploaded your pictures? Picked the right music? Selected a cover image? Created the video? (It takes a few minutes of rendering - but it's worth the wait.) If you don't like the video, you can always remix it. Animoto keeps the original and makes a copy with different effects.

How To Add Your Animoto Video To A Squidoo Lens 

A new, but simple procedure...

From the icons below your video select the push pin button. In the next window, click on "Squidoo" in the left column...

add-Animoto-video

Click on the blue button to open the next page...

add-animoto-video

Select your lens from the pull-down menu and fill-in the title fields. Click "Continue" and your Animoto video "module/widget" will be placed at the bottom of your lens (automatically in "edit" mode). As usual, click "Reorder Modules" and move your video anywhere in your lens. You can re-edit your titles as in any other module.

add-animoto-video

A little trick...

When I tried to add my Animoto video to a brand new lens (still a WIP) with only the intro module completed - the lens didn't show up yet in the Clearspring pull-down menu pictured above. I closed the lens and re-opened it from the dashboard ("edit" link of the title in WIP), and now it was included.

Well, I finally gave it a try. It was really simple, and fun! Unfortunately, I couldn't get my WIP to show up on my list no matter what I did so I guess I'll have to wait until my lens is published.

Hmmm ... the Clearspring Animoto widget seems to be not working these days. I exported my latest Animoto video to my YouTube account, then pulled it into my lens through that doorway instead. It's fun, isn't it?

I signed up for the Animoto for Education account to see the possibilities. I created a first Animoto for the Ways to Recycle Campaign Signs lens, http://www.squidoo.com/recycle-campaign-signs as a demo. Lots of fun.
