Make your Photos come to Life with Cinemagraph (Premiere Pro)

Jordy Vandeput 360K views

How to make a Cinemagraph in Adobe Premiere Pro. Bring your photos to life by adding a subtle motion into the picture which you can export to a loopable GIF.

In the modern times of today we communicate more through social media or other mediums then in real life. We live in a society where emoticons resemble our emotions and are the means to express our-selfs. But what if you want to do something more special then a smiley, because sometimes you need more to express yourself. In this tutorial we will explain how you can create stunning Cinemagraphs from scratch.

Everybody knows GIF's and their power to perfectly describe the situation. With a Cinemagraph you have the same power of a GIF combined with a photo. This combination of a still frame and a moving object will emphasize the Cinemagraph even more, creating a bigger effect. And as GIF's are often created from movies or series, Cinemagraphs can be created from everything. You just need a cool idea, photo or clip and the know how. But that's why we are here!

Cinemagraphs aren't just perfect for the chatting sessions between your bff's. They are also often used in advertising campaigns on social media and websites. For example can this be a very good strategy on Instagram, where one moving picture can stand out between the million still ones. Also can they be very handy on a website, as they are small in file size and draw attention to them.
