The Search Stories Video Creator is one of the coolest YouTube tools ever. Enter up to six queries and choose a musical track, and the video creator will produce an animated spot a la Parisian Love, that Google ad that told the story of blossoming love through search. When the video's done, you can upload it to your YouTube account.
With this tool you get a professional quality video - good enough for the Super Bowl, even - for free. Imagine all of the ways this could be used - business ads, nonprofit campaigns, photo tours, math lessons, travelogues, comedy videos... Each one would be an ad for Google, but worth it for the creativity that can be unleashed.
Check out my search story, and share a link to yours in the comment section.
But this does not show me how to make my own???
How can i!?!?
Here’s the link to the video creator: http://www.youtube.com/searchstories
Click on the “create your own” and you’ll be taken to an interface where you can select your search terms, search type (maps, shopping, images etc), and background music.
Have fun!
We tried this and liked it! See

Thanks for sharing your video, Nicole!
I have went to this website and it just shows me a video and then says create your own. When i click create your own i am taken to the same exact screen. Please help!!
I’m not sure why it’s not working for some people … The “create your own” button should lead to a page that lets you enter search terms and make your own video.
Thanks – we made one too and we think it looks great!

Really..
hi !! i tried clicking on the “make your own” but its not working help me please
Still working on ours but need some help – does anyone have anymore tips? Thank you.
Can you add your own music or just the ones they give you?
To add your own music, just make the video using one of the tracks offered, save it and then download the MP4 file from YouTube. From there, you can bring it into your editing program and add whatever song you want.
Or, use the Audio Swap feature from YouTube and use one of their tracks.

Hi! I just found your blog about Google Search Stories, I am making them for people on fiverr! I love doing it but for $5 it’s pretty much just an exercise. I would love it if Google/YouTube could add a few more options, but it really is fun to amaze my family and friends with fun little videos that take almost no time to do once you get your angle and practice a little. There are some drawbacks, 1) if I don’t write down my searches I can lose them if I accidentally hit the wrong tab button and then I have to start all over. If you are still doing these videos we should start a forum together for others!!! That would be fun. Here’s a link to one of my GoogleSearches. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARC-xwgz3Eo

Is the site path as of 26 September 2011. I had not gone to Search Stories since my last book release and literally panicked when I realized its site had changed. Because I listed it in my “All Smart Cookies Can Self Publish!” how-to guide as a smart way to make ads for your IndiePub novels – I had to find it again for my clients! Yikes!
