Go back to my question Applications and Services / Photos User profile for user: TexanInParis TexanInParis Author User level: Level 1 53 points How to save a Memories Slideshow on iPhone

I've seen various tips about working with Memories, and so far I've created an Album with all the photos I want in the Memory, then selected the album and chosen Show as Memory. Other posts suggest you should be able to chose Export as Slideshow from File / Export, but it's grayed out on my machine. I suppose I could start up Camtasia and then play the slideshow and capture it, but that seems like the hard way.

Any suggestions?

You can't save the Memories slideshow. Since it uses the slideshow features in Photos just create an album from the images you put in the memory and create your own slideshow. That one can be exported out as a video file.

• Live Photos in Memories movie Whenever I used to create a slideshow video in IOS of a particular album or person the video would include sound and videos from my Live Photos. This created a beautiful memory video that I could edit and export as an .mov. Somewhere along the way this stopped happening. My memories slideshows are now just simple still photo slideshows instead of moving live photos. Why? How can I use my live photos in slideshows? Anyone else found a solution? 1431 4

Memory movies are a feature of Photos iOS. If you have an iPhone or iPad and sync it with iCloud Photo Library, the memories will sync to the iPhone or iPad. You can save the memory on the iOS device as a memory movie and share it as a video, while the memory movie is playing.

Thanks for the link - that gave me the steps I needed to get it done on my iPad Pro. Too bad the Mac hasn't kept up with Photo App features - except I like the editing tools better on the Mac.

You're welcome. It is really strange, that Photos on the Mac does not support Memory movies as well. If it can be done on an iPhone or iPad (Pro), why not on a Mac?
