    What are Motion Photos?

    Creators' App can create 3-second Motion Photos from videos you have recorded with your camera. This preserves details of memorable scenes – including movement and sound – that can't be conveyed by photos alone.
    Additionally, 15-, 30-, or 60-second short videos centered on Shot Marks that you have already added to videos can also be created and imported.

    First method: Creating Motion Photos when importing videos using differential import settings

    You can create Motion Photos or 15-to-60-second short videos. This option relies on Shot Marks added during recording.

    Second method: Creating Motion Photos when importing videos without using differential import settings

    You can create Motion Photos or 15-to-60-second short videos. This option relies on Shot Marks added during recording.

    Third method: Creating Motion Photos while playing videos

    You can create a Motion Photo around your preferred position during playback. Short videos of 15–60 seconds cannot be created.

    Playing Motion Photos

    Motion Photos are stored in the same location as normal photos and videos. Play them as you would normal videos, by opening them and tapping (Play).

    • Information about the Motion Photo shooting date and time refers to when the file was created, not when the original video was recorded.
    • Motion Photos are in the JPEG format, and 15- to 60-second short videos are in the same format as the original video. Sharing a Motion Photo may convert it to a different format, depending on the app or OS.

    Motion Photo Playback Environment

    Motion Photos created with Creators' App comply with Motion Photo format 1.0. Note that depending on your smartphone or the sharing service, they may not appear as Motion Photos.

    Android

    Depending on your smartphone, the OS version, and the app you are using, Motion Photos may appear as still images rather than in motion. Also, depending on the social media or sharing service, Motion Photos may appear as normal videos or still images.

    iPhone/iPad

    Depending on the social media or sharing service, Motion Photos may appear as normal videos or still images.
