# Live Photo Maker 1. Take a local video file as input. 2. If needed, make an optimized version for iPhone wallpaper use: - upscale gently with `ffmpeg` - keep portrait aspect ratio - avoid aggressive recompression unless necessary 3. Extract a high-quality cover frame as JPG. 4. Use `makelive` to build a `.pvt` Live Photo package from the JPG + video pair. 5. If the user needs chat delivery, package the `.pvt` bundle as ZIP because `.pvt` is a macOS package directory and many messengers cannot send it directly. 6. Explain that the ZIP should be unzipped on macOS and the `.pvt` imported into Photos. ## Main features - turns a local video into an Apple Photos-importable Live Photo - can optimize video size for iPhone wallpaper use - generates a high-quality cover frame automatically - produces a `.pvt` package and optional ZIP for transfer - works well for iPhone lock-screen wallpaper workflows ## Notes - Install missing dependencies yourself when safe: `pipx`, `makelive`, `ffmpeg`. - The video quality inside the Live Photo usually stays close to the source. Perceived softness is often caused by low source resolution or lock-screen scaling. - Prefer sending both the original Live package path and the ZIP when useful.
