Learn how to use Photoshop, After Effects, and two dedicated tools—Flixel and Cliplets—to explore the creative possibilities of cinemagraphs: static photos that contain areas of motion.

The final cinemagraphs can be used in websites, banner ads, emails, presentations, or even digital signage.
Topics include:
Planning a cinemagraph shot
Shooting video and time lapses for cinemagraphs
Combining stills
