Google, one of world’s largest tech companies has announced a new app called ‘Motion Stills,’ designed to create unique GIFs from Live Photo images captured with your iPhones.
According to a blog posted by Google Research, said that the iOs app “acts as a virtual camera operator for your Apple Live Photos. We use our video stabilization technology to freeze the background into a still photo or create sweeping cinematic pans. The resulting looping GIFs and movies come alive, and can easily be shared via messaging or on social media”, saidKen Conley and Matthias Grundmann of Google’s Machine Perception.
According to Mac Rumors, there are many apps available designed to create GIFs for Live Photos, therefore Google's offering isn't unique, but the unique thing is that Google is offering an iOS-only app that works with an iOS-only feature.
Now how does it work? Google says,”We pioneered this technology by stabilizing hundreds of millions of videos and creating GIF animations from photo bursts. Our algorithm uses linear programming to compute a virtual camera path that is optimized to recast videos and bursts as if they were filmed using stabilization equipment, yielding a still background or creating cinematic pans to remove shakiness.”
Reports added, that Google aims to gather information it learns from Motion Stills, which can be used to introduce new features into Google Photos in coming days.
Google's Motion Stills app is available now and can be downloaded from the App Store for free.
