This is actually a helpful post, not because it tells you how to fix it, but it acknowledges there is no solution.

I doubt there will be a fix, because of the way Live Photos are taken. Each live photo is recorded as a pair of only one high quality still frame and a low quality video. Any other frame you could extract from the video will be of a lower resolution and quality than the included still frame and Apple is trying hard to prevent us from using low resolution material. But the user Tip I wrote ( - How to Extract Still Frames from a Live Photo in Photos for Mac ) will allow you to import the Live Photo as a video and to extract a different still frame, if the embedded high resolution still frame has been taken at an unfortunate moment.

The "Why" questions are alway so difficult, because Apple rarely tells us why 😁

But we can try an educated guess. Live Photos are typical for the iPhone. They are meant to be shared instantly from the iPhone and to surprise our friends and family with stunning shots. The ability to share over a cellular network requires a very small file size. So only one frame has a quality good enough to be used as a keyframe and we are stuck with this one frame. All other frames taken from the video will be of a very poor quality. The solution is to be very careful when taking the live photo. We will get that photo as the key frame, that we see, when we hit the shutter release button.

I prefer to take 4k video clips with my main camera to the iPhone Live Photos. For a 4k video all frames have a high quality, and I can pick any frame as the keyframe, since it is a video.

It would really be helpful if Apple were to provide some answer/disclosure on this point--sadly these forums are rather more neglected by them than they should be!

Moreover, whilst I'm really grateful for leonie's workaround, it's still ridiculous that Apple doesn't provide its own, more direct solution, just as it does for photo bursts.

This correction to the iPhone camera feature/program is clearly overdue!

Wouldn't it be wonderful if Apple included in one of the next software upgrades...?

At the most recent WWDC it has been announced that there will be more editing options for Live Photos on the iPhone. They will probably not be available directly in Photos on High Sierra, as Photos on the Mac is frequently one step behind the iPhone version, but we will be able to edit Live Photos on the iPhone before we transfer them to the Mac, at least. Since the developers are currently working on new options for Live Loops, it might be a good moment to write feedback to Apple about missing features.

You can extract different frames, if you reimport the Life Photo as a video.

Use "File > Export > Export Unmodified original". And include the XMP sidecar file option to save the metadata.

This will export three files:

Use File > Import to import the .mov file.

You now have a video, where you can use the video editing tools in Photos to extract a still fame. It will be saved as a TIFF image to the Pictures folder. Import it to Photos from there.

It is a feature for people who want a short moving intro to their photo - obviously the movie portion can not be all high resolution photos as it wold be too large to use - a live photos is a short standard resolution video ending with a high resolution single photo - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207310

the phone has a burst mode if you want multiple photos in quick succession, that is not what a live photo is at all

If live photos are not what you want simply do not use them use single photos or bursts

It it possible to choose a single frame but it will not be high resolution as only a single high resolution photo exists -- How to Extract Still Frames from a Live Photo in Photos for Mac

Apple has online feedback forms for many applications and products ( Apple - Feedback ).

For feedback on iCloud you may want to use this form: Feedback - iCloud - Apple

Apple promises that all feedback sent in will be read, even if you do not receive a reply. You are welcome to post constructive feedback here in the forums as well, but it is not guaranteed that the developers will read each and every discussion, so your contribution here may go unnoticed.

The preview of High Sierra is here: macOS High Sierra Preview - Apple

If you scroll down, you see what will be new in Photos and for Live Photos:

Bring even more life to your Live Photos.

When editing a Live Photo, try the new Loop effect to turn it into a looping video that you can experience again and again. Try Bounce to play the action forward and backward. Or choose Long Exposure for a beautiful DSLR‑like effect to blur water or extend light trails. You can also trim, mute, and select a key photo for each Live Photo.

It will be possible, once you upgrade to macOS High Sierra in autumn. The version Photos 3.0 will bring the ability to edit Live Photos and to select key frames.

If you are not in a hurry, just wait for the next release.

I also need to vent.

My wife , who is a point and shoot person had no clue about this feature, left it on for all her trip photos, the work this has caused to get the picture she really took extracted from this mess will take a lot of precious time and the image chosen by this feature is the out of focus off centre one!!!

Very disappointed you can't just open the LIVE (DEAD-head ) feature to extract the best.
