A static-image animation program
Zoetropic - Photo in motion is an app that brings your pictures to life. It allows you to select parts of your image and have them move in a certain direction to create the appearance of repetitive movement. For example, you can make a photo of a tornado look like it is still blowing.
It gives Step-by-step instructions on static animation
The Zoetropic- Photo in motion app gives you step-by-step guide and examples on how to make a picture look like it is moving. Set points on an image and set the direction you wish the points to move. During the animation, the points drag the selected pixels and surrounding pixels to create the appearance of movement. What you are left with is a GIF image where photo-editing techniques have been used to generate the frames required for the animation. You can save as a GIF or MP4 on some devices, and just as a GIF on others.
A clever tool for websites, adverts and social media
Zoetropic - Photo should be looked upon more as a photo editor for people who are looking to advertise something or make a point on social media. For example, one could use the static image of a banker and have that person's nose grow larger like Pinocchio. Invariably, the image quality of the end result is always weaker than the original, but that is true of many types of editing processes.
