Title: Turn a Live Photo into a Boomerang Post by: HCK on May 19, 2024, 04:05:07 pm Turn a Live Photo into a Boomerang
Most iPhone (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/iphone/) users are familiar with Apple's Live Photos (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/live-photos/), which capture 1.5 seconds of video before and after you take a picture, with the aim of adding a little bit of life and movement to still images. What some users might not know is that you can also make a Live Photo bounce back and forth like a boomerang. (https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2023/05/icloud-photos.jpg) If you're familiar with Instagram, you probably know what a boomerang is. Since introducing ‌Live Photos‌ in 2015, Apple has added some effects to its Photos (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/photos/) app that let you turn them into fun animated clips, and the Bounce effect is basically the same thing as a boomerang. It rewinds the action backward and forward. Here's how to make one of your own on ‌iPhone‌. <ol><li>Open the ‌Photos‌ app and select a Live Photo. (If you look under "Media Types" in the <strong>Albums</strong> section, you'll find all of your ‌Live Photos‌ collated in a folder of the same name.)</li> <li>With the Live Photo open, tap the <strong>LIVE</strong> icon in the top-left corner of the interface.</li> <li>From the dropdown menu that appears, choose <strong>Bounce</strong>.</li></ol>(https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2023/03/boomerang-live-photos-1.jpg) The effect you choose will be applied immediately, ready for you to share it using the Share icon in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Note that there are two other effects that you can try in ‌Photos‌: Loop repeats the action in a continuous looping video, and Long Exposure simulates a DSLR-like long exposure effect by blurring motion. Did you know that it you get a blurry Live Photo image, you can open it up and see if other frames you captured are clearer, and then select a replacement "key photo" for it (https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/make-a-new-key-photo-in-live-photos/).
