How can I add a live photo into Keynote?

Hello,

I have a MacBook Pro Retina 13" mid-2014 with Mac OSX Sierra (10.12.4), Apple Keynote (7.1) and iPhone 6s Plus (iOS 10.3.1).

I'd like to insert into a Keynote presentation a Live Photo made with my iPhone but I only get the stable image, without the motion effect and the sound.

Is it possible to do it in a direct way or have I to convert the live photo into a video (how?)?

Greetings,

Marco

Not possible in Keynote, there are very few applications that can use a Live Photo file on the Mac as it is such a unique filetype which incorporates a still image file and a Quicktime movie file in a single wrapper

If you want a moving image, shoot video.

As a work-around use only the video of the live photo on your Keynote slide.you have to import the Live Photos into your Photos Library, however as Live Photos.

select the Live-photo in Photos, use File > export > export unmodified original.
this will export the video and a JPEG image. Drag the video onto your Keynote slide.
