I came across a music video on YouTube for Doom Eternal where an image appeared to have been transformed into a video under some sort of stretching transformation.
What is this stretching transformation? How is it performed?

The overall steps are:
Duplicate the image several times, One per element of your final composition, for example. Background, player, monster 1, monster 2, ax.
Mask each element, normally with the lasso tool or similar, so you isolate the element on that layer.
Do the same on a monster if you need to delete some other monster part over it.
Export each layer as a single PNG file.
You could use Davinci Resolve, Hit Film or Blender which are great programs and free. Try with Davinci Resolve for this one.
For more specific information look for tutorials on how to mask, how to export and import files on the program you choose, and about the inspector on Davinci Resolve.
If you are paying Adobe, use Ps to mask and AE to composite. I prefer Davinci because you can see the waveform of the music, and playback in realtime to sync the animation.
