How to share moments-photos

Hi Xfirf,

Sorry for the late reply!

After you take a live photo, or as we call it, a moving picture, it will be saved to gallery in JPG format. You can share them directly through Wi-FI, Bluetooth, Huawei Share and more. The receiving device must be a Huawei device that supports the capture of moving pictures in order to play the moving photo effect. When you share moving pictures to third-party apps or unsupported devices, the moving pictures will be displayed as a static image.

Let me know if this was helpful!

Thanks Tony, I didn't know that!

Its a bit long-winded, but one way to achieve what you want would be to use a double knuckle tap to start screen recording (if your device supports it), then play the photo, stop the recording and crop it to the required size and then use a video-to-gif converter to create an animated gif of your moving photo.

I haven't tried this - and there's a fair bit of work involved - but it should work.

Hi gergi,

For your backup needs there are actually several options depending on the model of the device you have. regardless of model within any huawei phone you will find the backup options within Settings> Backup & Reset > Data Backup
Also please check this post from Amy for more information https://uk.community.huawei.com/other-smartphones-8/how-to-make-a-back-up-180 .

Hope you found this helpful and if you need any further assistance please feel free to ask.

Best wishes,
Max

Hey @Stevedick2010,

I moved your question to this topic. Please read the replies above and let us know if you have any questions!

Hi Xfirf,

I marked it as solved because for now, this is the only way to do this. Others reading this thread will see this answer at the top of the topic, and they won't have to read the full thread to see Tony's reply.

Hi Xfirf,

Thanks for the feedback! I just unmarked it and asked our support-team to assist you.

Hello,
I am standing right now in front of the same problem like Xfirf. I am now on my world trip with my phone full of photos and have to delete the most of the moment photos, cause they just useful when the moving. That's very very sad for all the beautiful moments on the trip.

@Huaweian i just bought Mate 20 X... and have taken a lots of Motion stills...

Above forum, what Huawei suggesting is for the future pictures to be taken via third party app.
with out using the Huawei default camera app...

but now the problem in hand is how to convert the photos taken already with Huawei default app.. ????
is the solution we are looking for. every third party app is not able to recognize or able to convert them as mp4 or gif etc...

most of the other brands has its own inbuilt converter of Motion stills to mp4 or GIF... Why not Huawei..
I have spent $$ for premium Flag ship Huawei phone... and I am not having this simple feature...
please do escalate this to your Devs...

No, it doesn't work. You cannot open pictures taken by Huawei camera app by Motion Stills. It works but on iPhone, not on Huawei.



There is no such an option. You can export a picture but as default (JPG).
I use MacOS. Do Mac and Windows versions have the same features?

Is there any software for a laptop which can open motion pictures taken by Huawei?

Thanks

Hi @ramm,

The MacOS and Windows versions are different for the HiSuite application.

If you could use a Windows computer or laptop you should be able to see the option mentioned above.

I trust this information is of assistance. Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us!

Hi everyone.

None of the solutions above work.

Can people please stop posting untested answers?

And can people stop accepting these as solving the topic without testing themselves?

@Tony - Motion Stills does not work because it does not have any access to the files, nor is it possible to give the app access.

@Tony - Taking a screen video screen recording and then converting that to a GIF is not considered exporting. The result would be hardly a sample of the original. All quality in image, colour and frame rate would be lost.

@Amy - Please don't accept it as a solution if "this is the only way to do this". The topic should remain unsolved if there is no solution...

@Max - Repeating what Amy said after @xfirf has said that it does not help him, is in fact not of assistance. Stating that the device is running Android and third party apps are available is also not of assistance. You might as well say to Google their problem and find the solution elsewhere. @Carbon14 hit the nail on the head with his reply about "glossing over".

@Max - Giving scripted instructions for using the HiSuite application is also not helpful if you have not tested them yourself. I can say from experience that it does not work on a Windows machine running the latest version because I have tested it. There are several tabs within the application: Pictures, Videos and File Manager. They do not appear under the Videos tab. Under both of the other tabs, at no point does exporting give an option to select the format. It only offers choice of the directory that all selected items will be copied to. I do not know where you got the following line from

But this is quite simply false.

@ramm - Maxs instructions were in fact wrong, HiSuite does not let you export the moving picture part on windows and based on your response it does not exist for OSX either.

@K9Krazy The Quik app you linked is possibly the closest to a solution. But I would quite frankly consider it completely unusable as the app has mandatory effects. It does not the solve the question that I share with @xfirf.

I'm sorry if I have caused any offense. I do not mean to come across as hostile. But the responses in this thread are quite simply disappointing and I expect better.

Cheers,
Wheatley
