How to Transform Still Images Into Engaging Video

People’s appetite for video content is growing exponentially. And with sites like Facebook and even LinkedIn increasingly focusing more on the moving image, creators are looking for ways to make more videos, faster.

This presents challenges, especially as saturation means it’s harder than ever to cut through in people’s newsfeeds. And it’s left creators looking for tools that will make videos more engaging, and provide and stop people past their great content.

One such category of tool offers a way to turn static photography into an engaging video.

Photo Animators are Adobe After Effects plugins that automate a parallax-like effect onto your photos. They also, in some cases, offer a 3D feature, making this style of product unique to what’s been out there in the past.

Rather than simply applying a zoom effect on the background and foreground - making them appear as different layers - 3D photo animators allow you to create even more eye-catching effects that effortlessly turn still images into some of the most compelling video content you will see.

Here’s a look at what’s possible.

This video was created using Anton-and-Friends’ Photo Animator.
