My primary project was working on the early user experience design work for Cliplets.Ĭliplets is an application that allows users to create "cinemagraphs" - short clips that combine static and dynamic elements from a longer video. Once you're up and running, you'll start creating GIF and short MP4 files in no time.In the summer of 2012, I interned with Microsoft Research on the Advanced Development User Experience team. The overall design is pretty intuitive, but if you're having trouble accommodating, you can always check out the rich online help content. To end withĪll in all, Cliplets is a handy application you can use to emphasize certain elements in a video, or simply create short, funny animations. This can easily be done in the preview section and carefully adjusted in the two timelines, one for the inserted video and the other being the output. Easy selection of parts to animateįor each created type of element you need to select a portion of the clip and area on screen you wish to animate. The default layer is basically a background image that serves as a canvas for the other layers. You get to work with a number of layers that can have different roles, like loop, mirror, play or still image. Once you select the part you want to work with, every tool becomes available.
Create a layer based short clipīefore you can actually start processing you need to add a clip which can easily be done by dragging it over the main window. Most space represents your workspace and also serves as a preview section for your clip. The interface leaves nothing else to be desired, with all elements cleverly spread throughout the main window and found under intuitive icons or labels. Deployment is quickly done and the amount of system resources used is not something to worry about. To offer enhanced flexibility, the application is available in a desktop version, as well as a Modern app for Windows 8. With the help of applications like Cliplets you can easily extract short bits of clips from a video for others to see or use in your projects. One particular type is a GIF or cliplet, only lasting for several seconds to emphasize important parts of a video. Since videos represent a big amount of the entertainment used, these come in a large variety of file formats and types.
