How to convert a Live Photo into a video clip

The Live Photos feature in the Camera app on an iPhone or iPad takes about two seconds of video. Here’s how to turn it into an actual video clip.

It is sometimes handy to capture a very short video of something, like a kid doing a cartweel. Live Photos capture those moments, and can be played, looped, bounced back and forth, or have a “long exposure” effect that blurs motion.

This makes Live Photos very handy for capturing a moment that involves motion rather than just a still image. You can edit a Live Photo to turn any part of it into a still picture as well.
