The same clip twice — one frame held, one playing — and a soft hole between them.

Make your own cinemagraph

Freezes everything in a clip except one thing, so a shot becomes a photograph that has not quite stopped. Say a sentence like the one below and your agent writes you a different one — free, in your browser.

Say this to your agent

>Freeze everything in this clip except the water.

Or ask for a different one

Not settings — each one builds something else.

  • >Freeze everything except the steam coming off a cup.

  • >A cinemagraph where the sky moves and the building does not.

  • >Freeze the whole frame except one person walking through it.

What it worked out on its own

  • The still comes out of the video rather than out of a separate asset, so the two copies agree exactly everywhere the picture is not moving and the mask edge is invisible.

  • The mask is feathered: a hard edge shows its own outline the moment the live copy drifts a pixel from the frozen one.

  • The live copy plays forward and back, so the last frame equals the first. Trimming real footage to a loopable section is a fantasy; reversing is exact.
