Hello the community

do you know how to convert a video to Live Photo to post to Facebook? can we convert in after effects?

When I have a live photo file and I post on Facebook, I activate the LIVE button from facebook, the file remains fixed!

Help me

Correct answer Dave Merchant

The Apple Live Photo format is proprietary, it contains a 12 megapixel JPEG image and a 3 second 1920x1080 H.264 MOV video, both with vendor-specific metadata. After Effects can of course export the two component parts, but it cannot assemble them into a single file or apply the metadata. There are third-party apps for iOS that convert video clips into Live Photo files, but nothing that plugs into Adobe products.
