Multimedia Tools and Utilities

Use these multimedia tools and utilities to find music, movies, and videos.
Make your own animated movies with Animoto
If I told you you could make professionally animated movies of your photos with music and special effects, for FREE, you might look at me a little funny. After all, that kind of presentation usually requires some pretty hefty software, right? Not unless you try Animoto, a new service that takes your images, helps you overlay customized music, and personalizes your presentation.
Go back in video time with TimeTube
One of the coolest YouTube mashups I've come across lately has to be TimeTube, a site that takes your topic and finds videos for it, chronologically, starting with the first and ending with the most recent.
Free Sound Effects
Whether you're looking for Halloween sound effects, movie sound effects, or something else even more creative, I've rounded up a few sites that will help you find those free sound effects.
Technical Requirements for Multimedia
Use these resources to figure out what technical requirements you'll need to utilize multimedia content on the Web, as well as choose a media player.
Find a Web Cam
You can view free live web cams from all over the world; here are just a few web cams that I found.
Search YouTube with Podzinger
Search YouTube for one particular spoken word with Podzinger, a search engine that actually peeks inside the spoken words of the video or audio program itself to find what you're looking for.
