Cinemagraph Pro vs Reface Unboring Animate

Cinemagraph Pro turns video into cinemagraphs for photographers, marketers, and designers working on Mac, iPhone, or iPad. Users capture or import a clip, trim it, choose a still image, and paint over that image to reveal motion. On supported devices, the iOS app can capture, edit, and share 4K cinemagraphs; export quality depends on the source video. It can export H.264, HEVC, Live Photo, and GIF, share to social networks, save a Facebook Profile video, or export an Apple Live Photo. An Apple Watch can act as a remote shutter release or set a capture countdown. The app supports iCloud Drive and can upload work to Flixel for sharing and embedding; its App Store listing also mentions one-tap upload to Facebook Ad Manager. Flixel Cloud supports embedding motion imagery on websites, blogs, email campaigns, and digital displays, and advertises unlimited uploads. The product has a free plan and free trial. Listed paid options include $9.99 a month for Flixel Cloud Web and Cinemagraph Pro for iOS, and $299.99, paid once for License.
