Image Sequencer is an example application demonstrating the use of Lumia Imaging SDKs Image Aligner and Gif Renderer APIs for creating cinemagraph-style animations in animated GIF format. The application has a set of hard coded image sequences to be used for basis of the alignment and animation. User can manipulate the animation by limiting the animated area to a small rectangular section, and by stabilizing the images in order to eliminate camera shake. Animations with still backgrounds and minor repeated movement are commonly called cinemagraphs.
Developed with Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2015
Compatible with:
- Windows 10
Make sure you have the following installed:
