We converted a video clip into a Live Photo, and we were able to activate the Live Photo when we deep-pressed it. Talk about magic, the Live Studio app has somehow tapped into Apple’s Live Photo-making technology.
The best thing about Live Studio, however, is that it also works the other way around: giving you the option to convert videos, GIFs and photo-bursts into Live Photos. The app costs $0.99, and it does not tack on any sort of watermark to your exported files. If you want to convert the Live Photo as is with no trimming or auto-reverse, the Live Studio does it fine in just a few taps. The app is free, but it costs a single in-app purchase of $2 to remove the Lively logo watermark from appearing in your exported GIFs.Ĭonverting Live Photos as GIFs or video works very similar in Live Studio ( iTunes), but unlike Lively, this app does not offer customizable playback options when converting a GIF. Lively 2.0 also lets you pick out a still frame from your Live Photo and save it to your camera roll. Lively’s latest version lets you trim your Live Photo before converting, so you can remove any unwanted parts you accidentally took while trying to capture the perfect moving image.
Lively recently got a 2.0 update that brings more functionality to the app.
