A system for forming a motion card from frames of video selected by a user from a sequence of video frames that have been previously recorded on a video tape incorporates a kiosk that contains a video tape player, a processor receives a sequence of video frames from the video tape player, a display is used to display a selected range of video frames received by the processor, and step-by-step interactive instructions for the user for enabling the user to select video frames from the displayed selected range of video frames for preview display is improved by enabling the processing and display of video frames as if they were formed on the motion card so as to provide a high degree of correspondence between the displayed motion card and the to be formed motion card. A viewable simulation of the adjacency effect that will be present in the formed motion card enables the operator to improve the selection of the frames to be used in the formed motion card. Additionally, editing software enables the user to reselect video frames from the selected sequence of video frames so as to effectively change the content of the displayed motion card to meet the user's taste. A printer and a laminator, located in the kiosk or in communication with the kiosk, are used to print the selected frames in an interleaving manner, on a card sheet and for laminating a lenticular sheet over the interleaved printing so as to provide a motion card that replicates the motion image previewed on the display.
