 * __Stupeflix__** is a program similar to Animoto, which allows a user to upload pictures,videos, and music to create a video that is quite similar to a Powerpoint. The final product consists of the pictures uploaded on the presentation combined with the music chosen, and pictures can be organized or randomized and transitions are based off the beat of the music. The site is easy to operate, but does take time to use so patience is definitely going to be a key to using this application. But in the end all the frustration or successes will be worth it as you will produce a much more advanced version of the popular program, Powerpoint, making your presentation that much more interesting.

__//Students://__ Stupeflix is a program that could definitely be incorporated into the classroom especially when students could substitute Powerpoint for this upgraded application. Like I have said before, this program is simple to use but takes patience as it may take time to upload pictures, videos, and music. Having students use stupeflix could be a more effective way to reflect a lesson a student may have to do a project on. With the application being fun and interesting to use it also may hold the users, that being the students, attention yielding to more students completing such assignments.

__//Teachers://__ Stupeflix could very well become a teachers best friend in the classroom as many teachers already use Powerpoint to sell thier lesson to the students, by using Stupeflix it will most definitely grab the students attention. Teachers could use this to present a lesson to the class, in a much more interesting way.


 * Pros:** Unlike Animoto, Stupeflix is a free program and does not limit you on the amount of time your video can be. The program is simple to use, and for all first time users, or someone that just may have forgotten to use the application, it always has a 1,2,3 step guide on how to make a video on the site. The most use of this program is taking the Powerpoint program to a whole new level and making that plain simple presentation and turning it into a collage of pictures and turning it into an interesting video accompanied by music. Also, Stupeflix has recently released a version that is an API which lets you absolutely take control of your video by allowing you to add tags to your pictures or videos, such as //rotate// or //fade away// and your picture or video will imitate the tag that has been attached to it. Easy to use and is a great tool to give you control unlike having to go through a list of cheesy transitions offered on Powerpoint.


 * Cons:** Though I have yet to find any major problems with Stupeflix, the only problem one may come across is the uploading process which could take some time and may not be up to par for some users.
