A quick add-on to the previous tutorial where we looked at adding Ken Burns and parallax effects to still photo-
-single still photo
Cinemagraphs in that video. I very briefly shared with you a somewhat disturbing example of a photo video
Hybrid cinemagraph. it's already out there. So I figured I may as well show you how I made this
interesting piece of work
so here we have our short video clip note that I made an effort to keep as much as possible still my head in my
Arms, etc. So we're gonna find a spot where we are happy to start from somewhere that has minimal to no movement from there onwards
Making sure that our clip is selected, hit ctrl K to split or cut it here
 
this over here on the right is going to be our main clip and
We're gonna drag this clip up top as we're going to use one frame as our still over layer
Let's get a little closer. now
I want to move my timeline indicator one frame to the left into this top layer and
again, hit ctrl K to split this so we have one frame here select that one frame right click and hit add frame hold and
When we drag this over now, it's just that still that we can now work with it's like a photo
Ok, we no longer need this adios
Let's extend this back. So we have more to work with. Ok. Let's disable this for now
We need to select our sub clip that will be looped as the video components of the cinema graph
We already have our first frame decided as we cut that at the very beginning
So we need to figure out which will be the last frame. Ok
I want to end it around this point here so ctrl K again to cut it here and we can get rid of this
let's get in closer
Again, let's hit the left arrow key to go back one frame again. Making sure the clip is selected cut it here ctrl K
so we have our one frame that again we'll add a frame hold to
Drag that over and we have another still
from here on out
It's what you want to create in terms of your loop you can you can skip this frame hold step here if you want.
to loop this I'm going to duplicate drag our first clip over by hitting alt while dragging and
I want the reverse clip to make a better back-and-forth loop. right, Click speed / duration and reverse
There we go nice and cringy
let's duplicate these by alt dragging again and setting the loop twice and
Then one more time for good measure to have quadruple cringeworthyness
Drag the still over some more. ah
Man, that's awful. Okay, we're almost done. Now. You can see there's some micro movement and that's just not gonna sell the effect
so let's bring this top layer back by enabling it add a mask and
Invert it
Place it over an area where we want to see some movement and give it a healthy feather. I think that's about Okay
So bad, that's about right. Okay
We obviously don't want the mask over here so let's cut this clip where the under layer begins here
Hit C for the razor tool have it snap to position and cut that
make sure the front clip is selected and delete its mask and
there we have it and
Because I'm me I added a bunch of grades to create an even cringier rendition
Please make it stop. I'm not even gonna ask you to subscribe based on this monstrosity of a piece
So thank you so much for watching and I'll catch you in the next video
