Very cool concept and article.
You may also notice that many of these looping gifs are done in much simpler way by just playing part of a video and then playing it in reverse.
- rnhmjoj 12y agoSo you could just check if the frame i is similar to the frame n-i?
- jessaustin 12y agoThe idea is that frame 0 is similar to frame 0, and also that frame n is similar to frame n. (The resulting gif is 2n - 2 frames long.)
- loco5niner 12y agoI'm missing something. I don't really understand the first part of what you said...
- tokenizerrr 12y agoYou just play it normally once, then in reverse. Then it loops around.
- mxfh 12y agoThis so called pingpong style method can create a loop out of any source material, but the result will most likely look unnatural since you're reusing frames and it only works quite convincingly for pendular motions. The method described here finds naturally appearing loop candidates in any video stream and is way more flexible.
