What Cinemagraph Pro is
Cinemagraph Pro helps photographers, marketers, and designers turn video into cinemagraphs on Mac, iPhone, or iPad. Users can capture or import a video, trim it, select a still image, then paint over the image to reveal motion. On supported devices, the iOS app can capture, edit, and share 4K cinemagraphs; the quality of an export depends on the source video. iOS export formats include H.264, HEVC, Live Photo, and GIF. Users can share to social networks, save a Facebook Profile video, or export an Apple Live Photo. An Apple Watch can work as a remote shutter release or set a countdown timer for capture. Cinemagraph Pro supports iCloud Drive and can upload cinemagraphs to Flixel for sharing and embedding; the iOS app also offers one-tap upload to Facebook Ad Manager. Flixel Cloud supports embedding motion imagery on websites, blogs, email campaigns, and digital displays, and advertises unlimited uploads. The product is available on iOS, macOS, and web. Flixel was founded in 2011 and identifies Ontario, Canada as its head office. A free plan and free trial are available, alongside monthly subscriptions and a one-time license purchase.
