Survey: Do you normally take Live Photos? Did this tutorial change your mind? Let us know your thoughts!

I basically use Live Photos all the time, but I make sure that Live is turned on for any group photos. The way I can review and make the default photo as good as possible, especially trying to capture a photo with everyone’s eyes open. Thanks for the great video.

[marriannadougherty]

Absolutely did NOT know what use I would have for “Live” photos. Now I do. The Instagram likes Reels and Stories and I didn’t know how to take care of the issue. Thank you so much, David.

This has been my favorite thing about Live Photos for some time now, especially after entering the Instagram reels era. I’ve always used an external video editing app to convert it to video though, so thank you for that tip on how to convert to video within the Photos folder. 😊

[kathyscott]

I typically always use live video however I never did anything with them except look at it. I’m so excited to try your instructions now! You are an amazing instructor David and why I’ve watched you for years! Thank you again!

How come I don't have the three dots on the top right hand corner, I just have the word EDIT

[nufmedia]

Shot my family camping trip all on Live Photos. I’m laying in the tent about to edit a video. THIS WAS CRAZY HELPFUL! Thanks man!

[webgraphr]

Great advice an tutorial here David! Never thought this would be an option.

We all need more fun in our lives and this is just fun! Thanks for teaching us about this happy little feature.

Well Done. As a live photo shall, bring you back to an absolute true recall in time. If you're the photographer.

This guy is awesome. I am not a tech person but he makes learning easy and he has a chill vibe. Good work sir.

[abysss]

Wow just wow! So perfect for my Lumafusion movies!

[Dulcilady]

I always learn something new from your videos. Aspect ratio…what a great tip. Love your video at the end. Thank you for sharing all these years.

[jerryvincent]

Thanks for your help with my photo habits.

[randytoth]

Thanks David!!!
I was wondering if/how it could be done!!

[SoNowWhat]

David - EXCELLENT tips! I didn't even know you could do a bunch of the stuff you talked about. I may indeed have to rethink my stance against live videos!

[Peter_Crow]

Correct me if i am wrong but I believe you need to toggle off (not on) that second setting to keep live photos on at all times. If toggled off then it goes back to what you left it at inside the camera app itself as opposed to having on as a default

[michman]

Aspect ratio! Now I know why my landscape shot photos were cut off on the sides! Thank you David.

[HelenNaum]

It is October 2023 and I learned that the photo needs to be set to live and not bounce or loop to be able to save as a video.
