Offering/Making GIFs/Cinemagraphs?
I've let the idea tumble around in my head before, but I wonder how hard it would be to make a GIF/Cinemagraph either from footage stills, or, MORE likely, planning for one moment to shoot with stills in order to make the cinemagraph.
I had thought IF you could use this as your preview still on your videos, that would be dynamite. Something like this person's work (JLBweddings) http://i.imgur.com/MC8dOZu.gif anyone have any experience with this? |

Isn't that just a subtle animated gif? I don't see how you could use it other than on a website.

Re: Offering/Making GIFs/Cinemagraphs?
Yes it is.
I was thinking of it's uses not in the actual video (except maybe the DVD menu) but rather the website. Especially if there was a way to make it the video preview pane. Or simply promotional, like making a movie poster the B&G can put on Facebook. |

Re: Offering/Making GIFs/Cinemagraphs?
It's pretty basic. You use sequential shots (e.g. frame grabs from your video) to make an animated .gif, and use that as a poster in your web video player. I'd suggest using Paint.net with the .agif plugin to create the .gif, and video.js as the player - all free and as good as commercial products. I do think the effect is cheesy and thus might not convey the image you want.
