Cinemagraph FAQ
What is a cinemagraph?
A still photo where one isolated area stays in motion — like steam rising from a coffee or hair moving in the wind — looping seamlessly. Everything else is frozen, which makes the movement mesmerizing.
How do I choose what moves?
You paint a mask over the region to keep animated. That area plays the video; the rest of the frame is held on a single still frame.
Which format is best for a cinemagraph?
WebP or WebM for a smooth, high-quality loop at a small size; GIF for maximum compatibility (larger and lower quality).
How long should the source clip be?
Short is better — a clip of roughly one to a few seconds loops cleanly. Pick a moment where the moving element repeats naturally.
How much does it cost?
A cinemagraph is 2 credits. You see the cost before rendering, and failed jobs are refunded.
