I loved working with this tool and can absolutely see using it in class. Not only would I use it to introduce topics, review vocabulary or grammar, and generate discussion, I would have my advanced students prepare their own videos and share with the class. It could be very fun for them to create something like this and then discuss it with a partner or present to the class.
I had no issues working with this Site. Once I realized I can upload more than one picture at a time-it made my life a lot easier. I like the option to upload your own music. This can be something very personalized and having something that really reflects you and your ideas can be very special for the students. I'm wondering can you slow down the video, or maybe I would just pause it at key parts to stop and talk about it.
One game I would use is to watch the pictures as they flow, and then write down all the words or phrases that come to your mind. If you don't know it in English, write it down in your own language and we will look it up and learn it! Next, listen to the music-how does it relate to the words you wrote? How does it relate to the pictures? I can see this generating some interesting discussion! I kind of want to go use this right now!
