4. Bounce:

The major difference between loop and the bounce is that loop only run forward and bounce forward and then reverse. To create a bounce effect, swipe the live photo up and then Select bounce from the given options.
5. Long Exposure:
Long exposure photography is the best to capture running water or car lights. This time apple has added a feature to capture long exposure shots with Live Photos. From the swipe up menu you can also choose Long exposer to make your live photo a long exposure image. If you are intended to capture a long exposure image then you should keep your device stable because even a slightest shaking can ruin your shot. Long exposure is the fourth option in the swipe up menu of Live Photos.
