    I'm looking for a Windows application that can create [cinemagraphs](https://www.slrlounge.com/an-infographic-on-how-to-make-a-cinemagraph/). I'd like to find a good one, but since I can't find ANY real prospects at all, I'd probably settle for a mediocre. I've found one for MacOS, but I don't have a Mac, so that's out. I've found several (of varying quality) for Android, but I don't fancy video editing on a small phone screen. Microsoft has recently released one for what they call cliplets, but it leaves a hell of a lot to be desired functionalitywise. And finally, we have Photoshop, which I have neither the time nor the patience to take on. Picky? Not in the least... :laugh:

    Try Blink Cliplets[^] from Microsoft Research. Can't say whether it's any good, but maybe you can tell us.

      I did, wasn't impressed (mentioned it in the OP). I might try again, though, if I don't find anything better...

        Don't know how well it would work, but there is BlueStacks[^] which is a free Android emulator for the PC - if you've found a good Android app, then that might work.

        That's a possibility. I'll have a look at that. Thanks!

            No problem. You were probably still trying to figure out how to get the moose out of your kitchen, I'd bet... ;)

              The moose loves tulips, so use what's left of them to lure it out.

              I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

                  Photoshop CS6, if you can still get that...or a subscription to CS, if not. ;-)

                    Sounds like all you want to do is "rotate some stills" (like a "flipbook"). A WPF storyboard could do it (among other things). (You can take multiple snaps; or just "morph" a single still into multiples using an editor).

                        I thought most cinemagraphs were GIFS. Being that a Cinemagraph is a still image with a part of it moving. So any gif maker will work. Its in the editing of the frames that were the work is.

                          Nope, That would be called a movie. That's not what cinemagraphs are like at all.

                            Well, most cinemagraph editors will export the cinemagraph in GIF or mpeg video depending on your preferences. I want a tool especially for making cinemagraphs, I'm not about to sit and edit each frame in an image editor.

                              Thought you were going for the "effect" (in a windows app). Didn't realize you actually wanted to post this stuff.
