Abstract
Methods and systems configured for processing video frames into animation is provided. An example method includes receiving a video including a plurality of frames, and determining an amount of change per pixel across a portion of the plurality of frames. Based on the amount of change per pixel, a first masking frame may be generated indicative of modifiable pixels and a second masking frame may be generated indicative of static background pixels. The first masking frame can be applied to frames of the plurality of frames to generate a plurality of partial frames, and the second masking frame can be applied to a given frame to generate a background template frame. The background template frame can be combined with each of the plurality of partial frames to generate a plurality of altered frames, and the plurality of altered frames can be processed into a second animation.
