Introduction
Apple Motion Art is a similar idea to Spotify Canvas – offering a moving alternative to a standard album packshot.
Album Motion Art is a 1:1 square video (which must be based on the static artwork) that displays on the Album Page on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, as well as on smart TVs.
Motion Art can also be separately applied to Artist Pages.
Who is this for?
Any album you have released/are releasing. We can supply artwork for an album pre- or post-release, as long as it’s been delivered. However, once the Motion Art has been applied to your release by Apple it can not be updated or removed!
Please Note: this is not an opportunity available for singles. Must be an EP, Album, or Artist Page.

How to Submit Motion Art
Once you’ve created your footage and confirmed that it’s to spec, contact your Label Manager to arrange having them submitted to Apple. You will need to send your files to us using a file sharing service such as wetransfer.com
