Turning a video into a Live Photo is a great way to create an animated wallpaper from a short video clip. Unfortunately, iPhone only allows us to create Live Photos by real-time recording. That is to say, there is no way to save a video as a live photo. And even though we can use the iOS integrated Shortcuts app to convert a Live Photo to a video, it's useless to make a video into a live photo. But the good news is, we've found 3 secure ways to turn any videos into Live Photos without a ton of editing skills. Keeping reading to learn these 3 simple methods.
Before Making Video into Live Photo: What Should You Know
Live Photo is a 3-second moving picture with sound. It is an iPhone unique camera format that relies on the iPhone 3D touch feature, offering a more efficient way than the video does to bring your old memory back to life.
