Thank you, Apple, for that.Ībout the author: Jefferson Graham is a Los Angeles area writer/photographer and the host of the travel photography streaming TV series Photowalks. Loop Video captures your best moments into a looping video. And if we post a Long Exposure Live photo anywhere on the Web, you’ll see water flowing that any tripod-bound photographer would spend hours with his or her camera trying to achieve.Īll achieved from a few clicks of an iPhone. They now animate in autoplay on Facebook and Twitter.įor us photographers, Long Exposure photos are the coolest of the features, and not as gimmicky as the loop clips. Instead they would appear as static stills, which is how they originally appeared on Facebook and Twitter too. The mini-video clips can’t come to life in a TikTok or Snapchat. Originally the mini-clips couldn’t be shared and showed off the way Apple intended. Live Photos should have been huge, in a TikTok, Vine, Snapchat way, but that never happened. At the time, it was just another cool feature to sell iPhones (the iPhone 6S originally), and The Verge referred to it as “something between automatic GIFs and short video clips.” Loop shows the three-second clip in a never-ending loop, while the Bounce clip goes backwards and frontwards over and over.Īpple first announced Live Photos way back in 2015, and it frankly never caught on in a viral, internet meme way.

At the top left of the page, you get the little notice that your image is a Live photo. Then shoot the photo the way you would for any normal image.Īfterwards, open it in the Photos app. Make sure the round button on the top right of the screen doesn’t have a line in it, and the yellow LIVE tab is visible. So instead, let me fill you in.įirst, of course, you have to take the photo in Live Photos mode. Bounce: This will play the clip forwards and backward. You will see effects like loop, bounce, and long exposure. Swipe upwards on the screen to reveal effects. Then locate the live photo you want to turn into a GIF or video and tap on it. It would have been nice for Apple to let us know this, but it didn’t. To convert your live photos into a GIF, you must have an iPhone running iOS 11 or higher. However, have no fear! Live Photos hasn’t gone away.
