HOW TO Add motion to static images

Open image

Open a photo in the Quick editing workspace. Images shot using an iPhone’s Portrait mode work well due to the difference between the sharp subject and blurred background. Choose Enhance > Moving Photos.

Choose a movement

Double–click on a motion thumbnail to apply an effect such as Zoom In. Make sure the 3D Effect option is on. This makes the main subject and background move at different speeds, creating a 3D depth effect.

Export as GIF

Click the play icon to preview the motion. Click Export. Label the animation in the Save As window. Click Save to create a social media– compatible animated GIF. Reduce the GIF’s size to make it easier to share.
