I guess it’s a bug but as development stopped around 2012 I doubt it will be fixed).

Here’s the full 10 second video (note another issue with Cliplet – the clip speeds up then slows down. The moving adverts are not a loop but are the full 10 second clip. The downside is that the girl moves her scarf more slowly. I was able to resolve the jump but it meant stretching the mirrored loop so the end of the final loop coincided with the end of the video. The jump on repeat is gone but the motion is slower In a video which just plays once you don’t have to worry about this. You can also see the issue of the loop ‘jump’ as it repeats. Using a mirrored segment introduces a novelty angle to a clip as the movement is obviously unnatural. Cliplet – showing selected areas There is a jump as the gif repeats Note that cliplet uses a low resolution version of the video while editing but outputs the full resolution. I selected a still where the girl is virtually clear of any other movement. You can see that I’ve selected the adverts which was the main point of the excercise but I also saw an opportunity to include extra movement as a loop of the girl moving her scarf. Here’s the Cliplet screen showing the areas I’ve selected for movement over the frame I’ve selected for the still. With cliplets there are 3 ways to add movement to the still image – ‘loop’ a short segment, ‘mirror’ a short segment where the movement is run forwards then backwards in a loop and ‘play’ where the segment just plays for as long as you want it to.

the movement you want to have in your cinemagraph has to be in a 10 second section of your movie It is limited to using a 10 second video clip i.e.

On the other hand I believe it has some functions which may not be possible with Photoshop or may be quite difficult to do. I found the software easy to use although it does have limitations. There are several tutorials on the Microsoft site so I won’t go into the detail here. I don’t have a Mac and only have Photoshop Elements and was not prepared to invest in Photoshop for an experiment but I found a free application from Microsoft called ‘Cliplets’. On a Mac there is at least one program dedicated to cinemagraphs – Cinemagraph Pro.

It has to be the very expensive full version of Photoshop and I am not sure which is the earliest version that has the necessary features but I believe CS4 does. In fact it took quite some time before I found an a viable alternative. So far as I can tell, for PCs, Photoshop is most often used. This is not very easy to achieve unless you are stage managing your video or tweak the content.

I prefer to make a video for two reasons a) a continuously running image can become annoying b) the start and end points on a gif need to match as closely as possible to avoid a ‘jump’ when it loops round. People using cinemagraphs in adverts tend to use a gif so that it runs continuously. These are then combined into a gif or video file. The basic theory is that you make a video and then use software to create different layers and masks to show/hide different parts of the video. I decided to try making some cinemagraphs and found lots of instructional videos and articles on the web. (You could use a video editing application like Movie Maker to resize the video)

The software I’m using can make a full resolution mp4 or wmv video file but only makes a 640×360 gif which accounts for the difference in size.

The one on the right is a gif of the same cinemagraph but you’ll notice that is runs in a continuous loop. The one on the left is an 10 second mp4 file. Click on the images above to see the cinemagraph.
