How does the site make money?  Are there ads in the videos?  I love animoto, but I'm not paying a subscription fee for the occasional time I use it.

I don't really feel like creating an account... Are the Fotolia images available for free?

Only few of FT pictures are available and I did not find any link back to the site, there is just a promotional link to FT on the frontpage.
No you cannot choose the transition, but I think it does a good job just to put up a quick video to promote your portfolio on social media.
Audiomicro brings audio files to the platform as well.
