A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided in order to create and/or decode video content of a scene that includes regions having looping video of different loop lengths with the video content of the scene being configured to be repeatedly looped, such as in the form of a cinemagraph, without any temporal discontinuity. In the context of a method, the video content of a scene is encoded. The video content includes at least two regions having looping videos of different loop lengths. The method also includes constructing metadata in association with the video content. The metadata comprises information identifying a location of each region within the scene. The metadata further comprises a loop length for each of the at least two regions. The method further includes causing provision of the video content as encoded and the metadata.
