> Video is just made up of single sequential still images. It might seem like this, but modern video codecs are very advanced and video files produced by modern cameras cannot really be described as sequential still images.

Codecs such as HEVC used many techniques to reduce the file size while preserving the image quality, like various frame prediction techniques and encodings. This makes workflows completely different.

Images produced by smartphone cameras use different software and hardware features to produce the best possible image, and many of those cannot be equally applied to video.
