The iPhone 6s come with some refined gimmicky , stuff and nonsense . One of those newfangled addition that walked that touch-and-go business between utility and folly was lively photo . Apple line it as “ unlike any other elbow room to interact with photos . ” We thought they werebasically GIFs but less useful . Google must fit with us because the Android - maker just releasedan iOS app to make lively Photos good called Motion Stills .

The app is incredibly bare but also super useful . This is how it works , according to Google :

Our algorithm uses additive programming to cipher a virtual camera path that is optimise to remold video and burst as if they were film using stabilization equipment , return a still background or creating cinematic pans to remove vibration .

That should sound familiar since it ’s basicallythe same verbal description of MicrosoftandInstagram ’s Hyperlapse applications . Google ’s app does work out slightly differently however , drawing specifically from lively Photos rather than video .

The app layout is also A-one simple . You do n’t ask to sign up into anything — not even a Google invoice . All you ’ve beget to do is grant access to your camera roll . From there , the app gives you short trailer of your GIF creations , and you could leave out clips into a motion-picture show ( basically just a super tenacious GIF ) . you could also grok around in the preferences for higher or broken resolving power GIFs and to also turn off watermarking .

If you take a lot of Live Photos , actively or passively , this is probably an app deserving hold . It might even win over you to take a Live Photo or two .
