Apple Music supports a additional version of a release cover art, called Motion Art, which is an animated version of the release cover art.
Motion Art consists of two video files in different aspect ratios for each release:
1:1 - displayed on Mac, iPad, and smart TVs.
3:4 - displayed on iOS.
Motion Art delivery requirements:
Two Motion Art video files are required for each product: 2048x2732 pixels (3:4) and 3840x3840 pixels (1:1).
Random Sounds will validate the duration, frames per second, codec and color space of each video upon delivery.
Motion Art videos that do not meet Apple's guidelines will be rejected.
Motion Art videos will go live on the Release Date specified in Random Sounds, or Pre-Order Date if present.
