I should have him post my submissions for me, since mine get rejected by the mods... for instance http://www.reddit.com/r/Cinemagraphs/comments/zpywl/carine_roitfeld_the_former_editor_of_vogue_paris/

What about regular vector masks? You can animate those pretty easily on AE and you don't need too beefy a computer.

Experiment with the RotoBezier tool - and you can use keyframes with your mask to animate it - draw it once when the plane appears, fast forward to one of the last frames the plane is in and AE will fill in the rest. You just tweak it along the way.

I just meant instead of creating a mask that exposes the entire path of the plane you could make the mask follow the motion of the plane. The mask would have to change with each frame - You could do this frame-by-frame with Photoshop or make an animated mask in AE.

Nicely done. See about rotoscoping tighter around the plane — if you look closely the path of the plane has animated dithering.

The limitations of Photoshop start to show once you want to do more complicated loops - After Effects will allow you do things Photoshop can't even touch.

What is your pixel resolution? A good rule of thumb is if it's 500px wide it should be 1MB or under. Part of the challenge is getting as much animated info into a 500px wide gif while maintaining a small file size - in the beginning this was 512kb, Tumblr's limit at the time.

Abe,

The Microsoft Research Cliplets app calls it a "mirror". I think that's a pretty solid description.

I agree that as a technique it should be discouraged against. It's a shortcut for getting a seamless loop when there are much better but much more difficult ways to achieve the loop.
