Another piece of Google+, pulled from the core, living on as a standalone app.

@chrismessina How so? This feature is wholly independent of Photos turning bursts into GIFs. Different input, optionally different output.

@chrismessina how is this a piece of Google+? Live photos already move. Google Photos did pull the automagic giffery along with the rest of Google+ Photos but that's old news.

@mattahorton I think you just answered your question. Google+ had Auto Awesome Movies back in 2013. Not identical, but I bet it's built on a related stack of photo technologies. An update in 2014 allowed you to create animated GIFs and photobooth-style images on demand .

@chrismessina My point was that that exists in Google Photos (note the removed +) already.
