Cinemagraphs are great for capturing attention in the crowded digital space, with the ability to mesmerize viewers by isolating a single element for movement while the rest of the image remains still. Better yet, they’re relatively easy to create. In fact, anyone who has ever recorded a video on a tripod probably already has suitable footage for creating great cinemagraphs.

While you can create cinemagraphs using video from Pond5 or your own footage in any non-linear editing system, Cinemagraph Pro from Flixel was designed specifically for easily creating and sharing cinemagraphs. Available for macOS and iOS, it offers the ability to export multiple versions of your creations. Here’s how to get started with Cinemagraph Pro.

Cinemagraph Pro is the app that defined a new medium for visual storytelling — the hybrid of natural motion and still imagery. Without being an expert in photo or video editing tools, you, too, can create professional high quality cinemagraphs that stand out and get noticed. What used to take hours or days to create is now possible in seconds. A cinemagraph blend photography and video together; composed like a photo, and brought to life with a subtle hint of motion that mesmerizes audiences. Cinemagraphs used to be difficult to create. With Flapix you can now create your own high quality, professional living photos in mere minutes on the fly with your android device. Cinemagraph Pro is the only professional tool specifically designed for the creation of living photos. With its unique “live-masking” technology, artists can preview their living images in real time and output HD (1080) and UHD (4k) quality hybrid photographs.

Pre-Production and Shooting

Whether you use new footage or footage from Pond5, perfectly still video is the key to a successful cinemagraph. Using footage shot from a tripod will ensure that the motion in the cinemagraph blends seamlessly with the rest of the image. The video should also be composed in a way that separates motion, so you can easily isolate a single moving element.

We started with this clip by Pond5 artist Anna_Om:

Only a few seconds of video capturing repetitive motion is required, but if you’re recording new footage, it doesn’t hurt to have multiple takes. If you’re selling cinemagraphs made from your own footage, buyers will appreciate having variations to choose from. Whenever possible, record in 4K and check that your camera settings take the environment into consideration.

Editing Your Video

Import your video into Cinemagraph Pro and drag to adjust the trim on the timeline. Select a frame for your still image or import one that’s separate from your video.

Use the brush tool to paint a mask on the still image and watch your cinemagraph come to life in real time. If your composition doesn’t completely separate moving elements, you can adjust the size, hardness, and opacity of the brush and eraser tools to blend the motion and still image together. Bounce or repeat the loop and adjust the crossfade and speed, or add a delay in the motion.

Choose from a library of presets or create your own by adjusting the light, color, tone, and vignette. Because people are often searching for very specific content, if you’re an artist planning to sell cinemagraphs made from your own footage on Pond5, it’s best not to over-stylize them.

You can crop, straighten, and flip your cinemagraph or select from common aspect ratios and social media presets to frame your image. Image and text overlays can also be added to incorporate branding and other creative effects.

Sharing Your Cinemagraphs

When you’re ready to export, you can choose an export preset to apply the preferred format, size, frame rate, and length for each social network you want to share to, or customize the settings. As a general rule, export your cinemagraphs at the highest possible quality with enough repetitions to equal a few seconds.

When you upload cinemagraphs to Flixel galleries, an embed code is generated that is supported by most websites. The Flixel embed will autoplay and loop your cinemagraphs on all browsers and devices in HD quality so you don’t have to use rely on GIFs to tell a story.

Cinemagraphs are a very cool type of photograph that creates the illusion of a “living” photo. Most of the photo stays static, while a small element moves. For example, a cinemagraph might feature a woman holding a pinwheel: the woman would stay static, while the pinwheel would appear to spin. If you’d like to try your hand at creating these types of eye-catching images, Flixel Cinemagraph is one iOS app you could try out.

What is it and what does it do

Main Functionality

Flixel Cinemagraph lets users create cinemagraph images and share them with friends. These images are sort of like animated GIFs, but with a bit more artistic flair.

Pros

• Includes a large image gallery to give you great ideas about how to use cinemagraphic techniques in your own work
• Many ways to share: Flixel, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, or email are just a button tap away
• Simple interface: just tap a button, drag your finger over the area you want to move, and presto!

Cons

• Pro version costs $10, and some user reviews seem to indicate that the Pro version is a bit unstable
• App requires steady hands: you might find it necessary to use a tripod under some circumstances.
• Cinemagraph images are somewhat slow to upload

Discussion

Flixel Cinemagraph really is a super easy and super fast way to experiment with making cinemagraphic images. The gallery provides a ton of design inspiration. The controls are very simple, making this app very unintimidating to even the most novice of photographers.

To use Flixel Cinemagraph, you don’t have to make an account. You can use the app without needing to make an account. If you do want to make an account, however, you can create a login using Twitter or Facebook (or create a new Flixel account.)

The controls are very simple. Simply tap the blue record button, or tap and hold if you want to set a timer delay. Then, simply drag your finger over the part of the image that you want to have move. You can then preview your image and share it on social media channels.

You do need to keep the phone extremely stable in order for your images to come out perfectly. If you jiggle the phone even a little bit during filming, your resulting cinemagraph will have a jiggly, jarred quality. I’d recommend using a tripod on other flat surface for best results. A small icon in the upper right corner lets you know if the camera is jiggling.

Conclusion and download link

If you’re tired of just slapping filters onto your photos to make them look cool, Flixel provides a simple way to create images that will really impress people. It also introduces a great sense of fun and experimentation into the photographic experience. Making these types of images is really fun, and the simplicity of the controls makes this app extra appealing.
