Generating Cinemagraphs Tushar Turkar © P hotodoto.com Outline Summary Previous work Description of work Results Analysis Summary Cinemagraphs are seamlessly looping media files wherein one or more prominent (or selected ) region in the foreground is dynamically in motion while rest of the scene is static. The Problem : A regular process to generate a cinemagraph comprises of the following steps: Recording - Capture stabilized footage, e.g., with a tripod Editing Software - Import the raw footage and clip it to show the desired content Masking - Create a mask to mobilize / immobilize the areas of interest Composite - Apply the mask and composite it with a static (invert-masked) image from the clip. Looping - Add seamless boundaries around clip on which to loop. While all this can also be done with several algorithms proposed in the research papers mentioned ahead, creating a cinemagraph still remains a cumbersome task for a majority of ...
