Is Apple Motion Art Required?
No. Apple Motion Art is an optional feature.
You can distribute your release normally without providing Motion Art. Your standard static cover artwork will continue to be used where Motion Art is unavailable or not supplied.
However, if you decide to provide Motion Art, you must upload both required versions.
