ComfyUI-LivePhotoCreator Introduction

ComfyUI-LivePhotoCreator is an innovative extension designed to transform video sequences into iPhone-compatible Live Photos.

How ComfyUI-LivePhotoCreator Works

Imagine you have a short video clip; this extension allows you to choose a specific frame to serve as the static image, while the rest of the video plays when the photo is pressed. This is akin to creating a mini-movie that starts with a still image.
