Plotagraph Pro is a fantastic app developed by professional photographer Troy Plota to turn your photos into animated GIFs (or small moving videos). The technology used is based on very complex algorithms but the user can create their GIFs very easily thanks to the intuitive management platform
Plotagraph Pro allows you to create movement from elements of a static image but that represent movement in themselves, such as ocean waves , the flames of a fire, the waterfalls on the mountain or even the bubbles of a soft drink.
Animated GIFs from still photos
With this tool you can create animated GIFs directly from photos, without having to resort to recording videos or burst images or timelapse techniquesOf course, the result will never reach the same quality, but it's still amazing to work with just one photograph.
With Plotagraph Pro, therefore, we can develop GIFs with a more than reasonable quality to share original content on our social networks,recreating movement from our most beautiful vacation images.
The program is also a very promising option in the field of marketing and, since with very little material you can generate sense of motion and enhance the visual appeal of images.
How the algorithm works
In order to perform image transformation and motion inclusion, Plotagraph Pro uses a detection and prediction algorithm In First, the software "scans" the image to detect points that correspond to elements that should be moving. Then the program predicts what that movement would look like in real life and adds that little transformation to create a GIF.
In Plotagraph Pro there are several options when exporting the dynamic content created: we can save files in video format (such as MP4 or MOV) or in GIF format dynamic image (ideal for sharing on our social networks ).
Compatibility, Pricing, and Availability
Professional photographer Troy Plota just released this program, which works both on Mac and Windows devices The price isn't exactly geared towards all audiences, and it seems that its creator wants to focus on buyers with a slightly more professional profile.
In any case, you can currently enjoy a pre-launch offer of 300 dollars (about 270 euros) in a package that includes the use of the platform Plotagraph PRO and, as a bonus, access for one year to technical support and instructions on how to use the program.
Once the pre-launch offer ends, Plotagraph PRO will cost an additional 50 dollars (ie, 350 dollars, about 314 euros).
In this video from the official channel of the program you will be able to understand a little better how the platform works and what steps are necessary to use the software. The program can now be purchased for your Mac or Windows device on its official website.
