Are you trying to share the memory video on a Mac or on an iPhone or iPad? You are asking in the Photos iOS forum (for Photos on an iPhone or iPad or iPod) but the signature is showing "MacBook Pro 13".


The iPhone or iPad allows to save the video as a file, when you play the video and tap the "Share" button.


But on a Mac it is more involved. A Memory video cannot directly be saved as a video on the Mac. You need to convert it to a slideshow project.

  • Open the memory, then select all photos in the Memory with ⌘A, go to the File menu and use the command "File > Create > Slideshow > Photos". Configure the slideshow as you want it (the theme, the background music), then click the export button to save a video.
