Tapping on the video turns the sound on and off. Additionally, the <strong>Sound<\/strong> icon is displayed in the bottom left corner of the video. Make sure you have your desired sound setting before you export your video.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-74518 aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/19878\/1120\/live-photo-to-video-1005.jpg\" alt=\"Live photo to video 1005\" width=\"320\" height=\"641\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2.2\">2.2 How To Save Live Photo As Video In Lively<\/h3>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve finished editing your video, tap <strong>Export Movie<\/strong> at the bottom of the screen.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll see several options for saving and sharing. You can share your video via iMessage, email, <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/messenger\/id454638411?mt=8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Messenger<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/facebook\/id284882215?mt=8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/twitter\/id333903271?mt=8&amp;ign-mpt=uo%3D8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/tumblr\/id305343404?mt=8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tumblr<\/a>. However, you&#8217;ll need to connect your iPhone to these accounts before you can share photos with them.<\/p>\n<p>Along the bottom are the options to <strong>Save<\/strong>, <strong>Copy<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>Share<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>To save your new video, simply tap the <strong>Save<\/strong> icon in the bottom left. The video will now be saved in your Photos app.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-74472 aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/19888\/1120\/live-photo-to-video-512.jpg\" alt=\"Live photo to video 512\" width=\"560\" height=\"599\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To watch the video, simply select it in the Photos app and tap the play button.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-74157 aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/19899\/1120\/live-photo-to-video-53.jpg\" alt=\"Live photo to video 53\" width=\"320\" height=\"551\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2.3\">2.3 What&#8217;s The Difference Between Videos and GIFs?<\/h3>\n<p>You may have noticed that Lively also has the option to save a Live Photo as a GIF. What is a GIF? A GIF is a short animation that plays on a continuous loop.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-74159 aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/19909\/1120\/live-photo-to-video-54.jpg\" alt=\"Live photo to video 54\" width=\"320\" height=\"553\" \/><\/p>\n<p>GIFs have lower resolution than regular videos, and they show jerky and unsteady footage. Also, GIFs don&#8217;t save with sound. Plus, you can\u2019t always share GIFs on social media platforms.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, I recommend saving your Live Photos as video files. That way, you&#8217;ll have more sharing options. Plus, your Live Photo videos will be higher quality.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"3\">Section 3: Convert Live Photos To Loop And Bounce Videos<\/h2>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t want to use Lively to convert your Live Photos to videos, don&#8217;t worry. There&#8217;s another way to do this.<\/p>\n<p>You just have to use Loop and Bounce effects. These are built right into the Photos app!<\/p>\n<p>What are Loop and Bounce effects?<\/p>\n<p>Since iOS 11, the Live Photos feature has offered two new video effects.\u00a0<strong>Loop<\/strong> makes a Live Photo play over and over. <strong>Bounce<\/strong> makes a Live Photo play forward and backward. The Loop and Bounce effects each create a continuous video.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-74099 aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/19917\/1120\/live-photo-to-video-28.jpg\" alt=\"Live photo to video 28\" width=\"560\" height=\"483\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To create a Loop or Bounce effect, select a Live Photo in the Photos app.<\/p>\n<p>Swipe up, and you&#8217;ll see the Loop and Bounce options. Tap on the effect you want. It will immediately be applied to your Live Photo.<\/p>\n<p>When you convert a Live Photo to a Loop or Bounce video, it&#8217;s automatically saved in the Animated album.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-74548 aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/19926\/1120\/live-photo-to-video-1514.jpg\" alt=\"Live photo to video 1514\" width=\"559\" height=\"481\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, there&#8217;s one significant drawback: Loop and Bounce videos don&#8217;t have sound.<\/p>\n<p>Yet there&#8217;s no need to worry about choosing an effect you don&#8217;t like. You can always change the effect afterward.<\/p>\n<p>How do you do this?<\/p>\n<p>First, select the Loop or Bounce video. Then swipe up to access the Effects menu. Choose a new effect, or tap <strong>Live<\/strong> to remove the effect entirely. That&#8217;s all!<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking to quickly create fun videos with your Live Photos, look no further than the Loop and Bounce effects.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"4\">Section 4: How To Share Your Live Photo Content<\/h2>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve created a Live Photo, a Live Photo video in Lively, or a Loop\/Bounce video, you can share it with others.<\/p>\n<p>Go to your <strong>Photos<\/strong> app and find your content. Open it. Then tap the <strong>Share<\/strong> icon in the bottom left corner.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/26630\/1120\/live-photo-to-video.jpg\" alt=\"live photo to video\" width=\"320\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The sharing menu will open as shown below.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/26632\/1120\/live-photo-to-video.jpg\" alt=\"live photo to video\" width=\"320\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This gives you many options, which I&#8217;ll explain below.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"4.1\">4.1 Share Live Photo Content Via AirDrop<\/h3>\n<p>One way to share your Live Photo content with others is through\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/how-to-transfer-photos-from-iphone-to-computer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AirDrop<\/a>. Note that you can&#8217;t use AirDrop to send media to Android users or PC users. AirDrop only transfers media between iPhone, iPad, and Mac users.<\/p>\n<p>What can you share via AirDrop?<\/p>\n<p>You <strong>can<\/strong> share a Live Photo video. To do this, tap <strong>AirDrop<\/strong>, then tap the device you want to send the video to.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/26633\/1120\/live-photo-to-video.jpg\" alt=\"live photo to video\" width=\"560\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If the user doesn&#8217;t receive the video, make sure they are set up to receive files through AirDrop. To check this, have them tap <strong>Settings<\/strong>. Have them select <strong>General<\/strong>, then <strong>AirDrop<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure they choose to receive AirDrop files from contacts (or everyone).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-74544 aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/19950\/1120\/live-photo-to-video-1512.jpg\" alt=\"Live photo to video 1512\" width=\"560\" height=\"379\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You <strong>cannot<\/strong> share a Loop or Bounce video via AirDrop to a Mac computer. If you share a Loop or Bounce video via AirDrop to a Mac computer, it&#8217;s transferred as a normal\u00a0video file. This means that the recipient will not be able to view it continuously\u2014the video will stop after three seconds.<\/p>\n<p>If you share a Loop video, viewers will see this:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Loop\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rH4qcur9fPM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>If you share a Bounce video, viewers will see this:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bounce\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hrXpU2M5AoM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>However, you <strong>can<\/strong> share the original Loop or Bounce video via AirDrop to another <em>iPhone<\/em> user.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, you <strong>cannot<\/strong> share a Live Photo via AirDrop to a Mac computer. It will be transferred as a still image. However, you\u00a0<strong>can\u00a0<\/strong>share a Live Photo via AirDrop to another iPhone or iPad user. Follow the same process for sharing a Live Photo video.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"4.2\">4.2 Share Live Photo Content In A Text Message Or iMessage<\/h3>\n<p>You can also share Live Photo content through a text message or iMessage.<\/p>\n<p>What can you share?<\/p>\n<p>First, you\u00a0<strong>can\u00a0<\/strong>share a Live Photo video\u00a0in a text message or iMessage.<\/p>\n<p>You can\u00a0also send a Loop or Bounce video via iMessage to an iPhone or iPad user. However, you <strong>cannot<\/strong>\u00a0send a Loop or Bounce video via text message to a non-iPhone user.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, you <strong>can<\/strong> send a Live Photo via iMessage to an iPhone or iPad user. But you <strong>cannot<\/strong> send a Live Photo via text message to a non-iPhone or iPad user.<\/p>\n<p>How do you send Live Photo content in a text message or iMessage?<\/p>\n<p>Tap on the <strong>Message<\/strong> icon, and add a recipient. Then tap the blue arrow to send the message.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/26634\/1120\/live-photo-to-video.jpg\" alt=\"live photo to video\" width=\"560\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"4.3\">4.3 Share Live Photo Content Via Email<\/h3>\n<p>You can share Live Photo content via email. What does this mean?<\/p>\n<p>First, you <strong>can<\/strong> share a Live Photo video via email.<\/p>\n<p>To share a video via email, tap your email icon. Add a recipient and compose a message. Then send the email!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/26636\/1120\/live-photo-to-video.jpg\" alt=\"live photo to video\" width=\"560\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: If an email icon isn&#8217;t present, scroll to the right. Tap the <strong>More<\/strong> icon and select the email icon. Then tap <strong>Done<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/26637\/1120\/live-photo-to-video.jpg\" alt=\"live photo to video\" width=\"560\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>(The same process works for other apps, including Facebook and Instagram.)<\/p>\n<p>You <strong>cannot<\/strong> send a Live Photo by email. If you send a Live Photo as an email attachment, it gets sent as an ordinary photo. The recipient will only see a still image, and they won&#8217;t be able to view the moving version of your Live Photo.<\/p>\n<p>What about sending a Loop or Bounce video in an email? It will be sent as a low-quality GIF. The resolution will not be as good as it is on your iPhone. Therefore, it&#8217;s best to avoid this option.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"4.4\">4.4 Share Live Photo Content Via iCloud Photo Sharing<\/h3>\n<p>Do you have any albums shared through <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/icloud-photo-sharing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">iCloud Photo Sharing<\/a>? If so, you can share Live Photo content through these albums.<\/p>\n<p>What content can you share?<\/p>\n<p>First, you\u00a0<strong>can\u00a0<\/strong>share a Live Photo video with shared albums.\u00a0You can also\u00a0share Loop and Bounce videos with shared albums.\u00a0The same is true for original Live Photos.<\/p>\n<p>In the sharing menu, select <strong>Add To Shared Album<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/26639\/1120\/live-photo-to-video.jpg\" alt=\"live photo to video\" width=\"320\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Write a comment if you wish.

You can also share Loop and Bounce videos on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>What about sharing Live Photos directly to Facebook?<\/p>\n<p>Facebook allows you to share Live Photos, but they only appear animated when viewed on an iPhone or iPad. If you&#8217;re using Facebook on any other device (e.g., computers, Android phones), the Live Photo will appear as a still image.<\/p>\n<p>Do you want every user to see the animation on Facebook? Then you&#8217;ll need to convert your Live Photo to video.<\/p>\n<p>To share your content on Facebook, open the sharing menu. Look for the <strong>Facebook<\/strong> icon in the sharing options. If you don&#8217;t see it, scroll right and select\u00a0<strong>More<\/strong>, then select\u00a0<strong> Facebook<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/26641\/1120\/live-photo-to-video.jpg\" alt=\"live photo to video\" width=\"560\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Write a caption if you wish, then tap <strong>Next<\/strong>. Select where you want to share the video to, then tap\u00a0<strong>Share<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/26642\/1120\/live-photo-to-video.jpg\" alt=\"live photo to video\" width=\"560\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"4.6\">4.6 Share Live Photo Content On Instagram<\/h2>\n<p>You can share Live Photos, Live Photo videos, and Loop\/Bounce videos on <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/instagram\/id389801252?mt=8&amp;ign-mpt=uo%3D8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, you can only share them as Stories or via a direct message.<\/p>\n<p>Stories are photos and videos that appear at the top of your followers&#8217; Instagram feeds. They vanish after 24 hours. Direct messages are private messages sent to specific Instagram users.<\/p>\n<p>Why can you only share Live Photo content as stories or direct messages?<\/p>\n<p>Live Photos are converted to still images when posted to your Instagram feed. And Live Photo videos, as well as Loop\/Bounce videos, cannot be posted to your Instagram feed. Videos shared to your Instagram feed must be at least three seconds long. Unfortunately, Live Photo videos and Loop\/Bounce videos are slightly shorter.<\/p>\n<p>What if you want to share your content as a Story or a direct message?<\/p>\n<p>Note: Your Live Photo content must have been taken fewer than 24 hours ago to share as an Instagram Story.<\/p>\n<p>To share Live Photo content on Instagram:<\/p>\n<p>Open the <strong>Instagram<\/strong> app and tap\u00a0<strong>Your Story<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/26644\/1120\/live-photo-to-video.jpg\" alt=\"live photo to video\" width=\"320\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A camera will spring into view.
