Could you build this?
Partial Building the mobile UI and calling cloud image generation APIs is straightforward, but turning generated static imagery into valid iOS Lock Screen animated Live Photos with paired video/metadata is tricky.
What it would actually take: The system requires an iOS Swift client, a backend orchestrating image-to-video diffusion models (e.g., Stable Video Diffusion or Runaway API), and ffmpeg/CoreMedia pipelines that package the output into Apple's strict paired JPEG + QuickTime MOV format with synchronized metadata (`com.apple.quicktime.content.identifier`). The primary challenge is consistent lock screen Live Photo looping artifacts and metadata encoding. This requires video transcoding and iOS media asset pipeline skills.
