About this app

Motion Stills is an app from Google Research that lets you capture short videos and transform them into beautiful cinemagraphs or sweeping cinematic pans using our advanced stabilization and rendering technology. Create looping GIFs or combine clips into movies that you can share with your friends! Use Motion Stills to:
• Capture a short 3s clip with a simple tap or condense up to a minute of video into an easy-to-watch clip using the Fast Forward mode.
• Share your Motion Stills as looping GIFs or videos directly with your friends.
• Create movies by combining clips with a simple swipe to the right.
• Browse your recorded clips in a stream, or flip through them one-by-one and watch them auto-play.

Ratings and reviews

Cool app, unless you want dependability, consistency, or sharing outside the app. Sometimes it records in high speed except for the audio, other times it refuses to loop back and forth, and never can you get you data into a different app once this one decides to handle it incorrectly. This is abandon-ware and a poor attempt to keep up with the competition.

I really like the app so far! It works much better and plays smoother than camera mx liveshot. However i would love an option to capture still photos from the clips or automatically take a still photo at the same time as the clip. Alternatively, just the ability to take a photo separate to the motion clip but within the same app would prevent having to switch to my phone's own camera app to get some regular photos. I'm basically looking for an app similar to Huawei's/iphone /live photos

So much potential, utterly wasted. The ability to make quick gifs is great. The fact that I have to manually download everything one by one to get it into my Google Photos is not. Or that the auto mini gifs my camera takes clogs up the video library in the app, which is only viewable in the giant icons that only fit 2 at a time on screen, leaving me scrolling forever to find anything. Ugh.
