Claim 17:
18. A computer-implemented method comprising:
selecting, from a collection of images associated with a user account, candidate pairs of images, wherein each pair includes a first static image and a second static image from the user account;
applying a filter to select a particular pair of images from the candidate pairs of images, wherein the filter includes a filter machine-learning model that excludes the one or more of the candidate pairs of images by:
generating feature vectors that represent the first static image and the second static image in each of the candidate pairs; and
excluding the one or more of the candidate pairs that correspond to respective feature vectors where a distance between the respective feature vectors is greater than a threshold vector distance, wherein the feature vectors are mathematical representations and wherein mathematical representations of similar images are closer in vector space than the mathematical representations of dissimilar images;

generating, using an image interpolator, one or more intermediate images based on the particular pair of images; and
generating a video that includes three or more frames arranged in a sequence, wherein a first frame of the sequence is the first static image, a last frame of the sequence is the second static image, and each of the one or more intermediate images is a corresponding intermediate frame of the sequence between the first frame and the last frame.
