Write input video metadata to Live Photo output

[iiKurt]

Is it possible to have the video or photo metadata embedded in the resulting Live Photo when assembling? Items such as camera make/model, location, timestamp etc etc are all preserved in the resulting Live Photo.

I had a go at this myself, but I could never get the written metadata to show in the Photos app.

A workaround could be by exporting the new Live Photo from the photos app by selecting it and going to file, export original. This will save the jpg file and the mov video. From there, you can add the metadata to the jpg. (Don’t delete all of the metadata though because that’s how the jpg is linked to the mov.) Then, select the mov and jpg and drag them to the photos app at the same time. The app should recognize you are importing a Live Photo.
