Overview
Open “Motion Artwork” from a song's “Edit → Edit Tags”, pick a video or GIF, and the large artwork in the player loops it. You can also set one for a whole album.
For one song
- In a song list, tap ⋯ next to the song and choose “Edit → Edit Tags”.
- Tap the “Motion Artwork” card.
- Choose “Choose from Photos” or “Choose from Files” and pick a video or GIF.
- It takes effect right away — no need to tap “Save”. Open the player to see the artwork move.
Try it right here (tap “Start the demo” and follow the hints, or let it play automatically):
For a whole album
Open the album, tap ⋯ at the top right → “Change Artwork”, and pick a video or GIF in the “Motion Artwork” row. Songs on this album use it by default. Motion artwork set on a song takes priority. A song without its own shows “Using the Album’s”.
Supported files
MP4, MOV and M4V videos and GIFs up to 60 seconds. Sound is removed, and the clip is cropped to square or 3:4 and resized if needed. It’s stored only on this device and isn’t written into the music file or synced with iCloud.
The artwork isn't moving?
- Make sure “Dynamic Artwork” is on in Settings (search Settings for it; see Dynamic Artwork).
- To see it move on the Lock Screen and other system playback views too, turn on “Motion Artwork on Lock Screen”. In Low Power Mode or with Reduce Motion on, the system shows still artwork.
- Don't want it any more: go back to the same page and tap “Remove Motion Artwork”.
