HOW TO Add motion blur effects using Live Photo mode

Go Live

In the Camera app’s Photo mode tap the Live icon to activate Live Photo. Hold the iPhone steady and tap the shutter button to record a three–second clip of a moving object such as a train. Snap a couple of shots to be sure.

Choose effect

In the iOS Photos app tap Albums. Swipe down to media Types and tap on Live Photos. Tap to view your shot. Swipe up to view Effects such as Loop and Bounce. Swipe left then tap on the Long Exposure effect.

Motion blur

After applying the Long Exposure effect swipe up to see the edited image. Only the moving subject (such as a train) should appear motion–blurred. Static objects like the background should remain nice and sharp.
