1 Capture the footage

The first step to create a cinemagraph is to capture the video footage that you will use as the base. You can use any camera that can record high-quality video, such as a DSLR, a mirrorless, or a smartphone. The key is to use a tripod or a stabilizer to keep the camera steady and avoid unwanted movements. You also need to choose a scene that has a clear distinction between the moving and the static elements, and that has enough light and contrast to create a visual impact.

Cinemagraphs are video clips where most of the frame is stilled, but part of it is left to play in a loop. They are eye-catching and can be used for marketing purposes. - To create cinemagraphs, you need software tools that can import videos, select frames, and unfreeze parts of the image. Some of the best cinemagraph software tools are: - ClipGraph: A desktop app for Windows and Mac that allows you to create unlimited cinemagraphs with a simple and intuitive interface. - Gifzign: An online app that lets you create cinemagraphs, GIFs, and mockups with text and graphic overlays. It also has screen recording and integration with Youzign. - Flixel: A mobile app for iOS that enables you to create cinemagraphs from videos or live photos.

Using a tripod is necessary for making distinction between the moving and static elements. Choosing the water or other liquids/flag in the wind, as a moving element is very common.

Here's a revised version with corrected spelling and grammar: For creating cinemagraphs in both photography and videography, I recommend using Adobe Photoshop, Adobe After Effects, and Canva for templates. Additionally, for color correction and grading in videography, DaVinci Resolve is a highly recommended tool. Remember, these tools offer a comprehensive set of features for creating visually stunning cinemagraphs and ensuring high-quality color correction and grading in your videography projects

2 Edit the video

The next step is to edit the video footage and select the segment that you want to loop. You can use any video editing software that allows you to trim, crop, and adjust the exposure, color, and contrast of your video. Some popular options are Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve. You should aim for a short and smooth loop that lasts between 2 and 10 seconds, depending on the effect you want to achieve. You can also apply some filters or effects to enhance the mood or style of your cinemagraph.

For selecting the segment we can say; the more our footage has sharpness (via using tripod) and high contrast to distinct our favorite the segment in the frame, the easier and faster we can select the segment.

3 Create the mask

The most important step to create a cinemagraph is to create the mask that will define which parts of the image will move and which will remain still. You can use any photo editing software that allows you to create layers and masks, such as Adobe Photoshop, Affinity Photo, or GIMP. You need to import your video as a layer and then create a still image layer from one of the frames. Then, you need to create a mask layer and use a brush tool to erase the parts of the still image that you want to reveal the motion from the video layer. You can also refine the edges and feather the mask to create a seamless transition.

Sometimes we can make the mask in the video editing software itself, like Adobe Premiere. This can be done by duplicating layers. Refining and feathering edges can be obtained easy if our footages have high or acceptable quality.

4 Export the cinemagraph

The final step is to export your cinemagraph as a file format that supports animation, such as GIF, MP4, or MOV. You can use the same software that you used to create the mask, or you can use a dedicated cinemagraph software that can optimize the file size and quality of your cinemagraph. Some examples are Flixel Cinemagraph Pro, Clipgraph, or Cinemask. You can also adjust the loop settings, the frame rate, and the resolution of your cinemagraph before exporting it.

We have to know where is due to stream our cinemograph; which platform is our target. Base on the platform we can choose the setting including frame per second (fps), resolutions or file format at the time of exporting. We can have several exporting qualities with different formats for various purposes.

5 Share your cinemagraph

The last step is to share your cinemagraph with your audience and clients. You can use any platform that supports animated images, such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or your own website. You can also use a cinemagraph hosting service that can generate a link or an embed code for your cinemagraph, such as Gfycat, Imgur, or Cincopa. You can also add some text, hashtags, or captions to describe your cinemagraph and attract more attention and engagement.
