Now, you need to mark the area or object that you want to create the movement effect for, using Masking. Simply use the Input Timeline to drag the slider to the point which will be used as background, and click Add new layer button to the right. Although you may add as many layers as you want, the first layer is locked at Still effect by default, while the succeeding layers contain 3 more effects, Loop, Play and Mirror. If you look at the right side of the window, you’d see that there’s a Layers section. The first step for working with every video circles around making the Still image selection, i.e., the part of video which you want to use as the backdrop. The developers have also thrown in a couple of tutorial videos on the website, elaborating in more detail the timelines, its working, and how you can add a number of different effects to the videos. Now you’d be taken back to the application’s main interface, which comprises of an Input Timeline in the upper area, and a Cliplet Timeline at the bottom.

Once you have marked the relevant part, click OK to trim the video. It’s worth mentioning that the application only lets you work with up to 10 seconds of footage, so if your file is longer than 10 seconds, it automatically fires up the integrated Trim tool to extract your desired section. To get started, launch the application and drag and drop your video file over the application window (or simply use the classic browse method). One thing that fascinated us was the very-small learning-curve in making your first cliplet. There are absolutely no complications involved in creating the cliplets, if you know what you’re doing, of course. There’s no explanation for how many video formats the application actually supports, but during testing, it worked on almost every common video file we threw at it. Coupled with an intuitive interface, the application is not only easy to use, but contains a handful of options to create countless varying cliplets.

While most of the cinemagraph tools only enable you to generate outputs in GIF format, the beauty of Microsoft Research Cliplets lies in the fact that, along with GIF, you can save your cliplets in MP4 and WMV formats. Being promoted under the tagline “juxtaposition of still and dynamic photography”, the application emphasizes on creating seamless loops of selected areas from your videos, into what Microsoft refers to as, “Cliplets”. If you like making cinemagraphs, then you’re definitely going to love Microsoft Research Cliplets. It’s a photography technique where certain subjects in the image make brief and repetitive moments, while the rest of the picture remains still, creating a blend between image and video.

Cinemegraphs have seen a lot of popularity during the past few years.
