I have some experience creating videos with my iPad using the iMovie app. iMovie has a lot of great features and editing options. I really love the trailer creator - I've used this a few times on my campus and our students are using it various ways in class.
I decided to check out Vine because I keep seeing examples of libraries using it to advertise services and materials. Vine is very simple to use and I like being able to explore different categories of Vines that other users have created. The format looks a little like Instagram, which I'm not a huge fan of. I do like that you can post right to Facebook. I use our library's Facebook to send updates to students and it would be a great way to let people know what new items the library has received.
Magisto takes a lot of the work out of creating a movie. You choose the images or video that you want to use, choose one of their pre-selected songs, and let Magisto put the movie together. Magisto puts together pretty cool videos and the videos center on people fairly well. I also like all of the options that Magisto gives you to share your videos.
Magisto and Vine are both good options for sharing information about the library. I think it would be cool to use Magisto to create ads for events that are coming up on campus as well as to highlight what's going on in the library.
