Make your photos dance

To begin using Fotodanz, simply compose a photo like you normally would, and hit the capture button. The app will also capture at least 3 seconds of video for you to use in your cinemagraph.

Trace what you want to animate

Once you compose and capture your shot, use your finger to trace the area you want to animate. Fotodanz lets you trace up to six isolated or overlapping areas.
