Is Live photo same as video?

Live Photos are 1.5 second videos that capture the moments just before and after hitting the shutter button. These GIF-like videos capture the movement, energy, and sound that went into your photo-worthy moment. Apple then chooses what it thinks is the best frame from that video and makes it the “Key Photo”.
