Cliplets

Since videos represent a big amount of the entertainment used, these come in a large variety of file formats and types. One particular type is a GIF or cliplet, only lasting for several seconds to emphasize important parts of a video. With the help of applications like Cliplets you can easily extract short bits of clips from a video for others to see or use in your projects.

Quick deployment and intuitive interface

To offer enhanced flexibility, the application is available in a desktop version, as well as a Modern app for Windows 8. Deployment is quickly done and the amount of system resources used is not something to worry about.
The interface leaves nothing else to be desired, with all elements cleverly spread throughout the main window and found under intuitive icons or labels. Most space represents your workspace and also serves as a preview section for your clip.

Create a layer based short clip

Before you can actually start processing you need to add a clip which can easily be done by dragging it over the main window. Once you select the part you want to work with, every tool becomes available.
You get to work with a number of layers that can have different roles, like loop, mirror, play or still image. The default layer is basically a background image that serves as a canvas for the other layers.

Easy selection of parts to animate

For each created type of element you need to select a portion of the clip and area on screen you wish to animate. This can easily be done in the preview section and carefully adjusted in the two timelines, one for the inserted video and the other being the output.

To end with

All in all, Cliplets is a handy application you can use to emphasize certain elements in a video, or simply create short, funny animations. The overall design is pretty intuitive, but if you're having trouble accommodating, you can always check out the rich online help content. Once you're up and running, you'll start creating GIF and short MP4 files in no time.
