Stunning CINEMAGRAPHS in PowerPoint (Tutorial) - How to Make Animated GIFs

Here’s a PowerPoint tutorial for how to make stunning cinemagraphs (subtle animated gifs) right in PowerPoint!
You can then convert the cinemagraphs to animated gifs in giphy.com or use as video in your presentations. Whatever you do with them, your audience will love you. These are getting more and more popular, so play around and participate in the fun.
Usually people make these in Photoshop or After Effects (and Microsoft even has an old program called Cliplets for this), but if you have the right video, you can make this in PowerPoint with no additional programs necessary (unless you’re making a gif file, in which can you'll just need an online converter like giphy.com). All you do is combine images and video - and you're all set!

You can use other shapes (eg, a triangle) to crop the video - this sometimes makes it easier to isolate it (but not always). Excellent post!
