To be featured by Apple is a privilege reserved only for a few apps every week … We see Cinemagraph images as a new and dynamic way of storytelling with hybrid photography and ideally suited for the next generation of 4K digital technology.

Flixel Cinemagraph Pro for Mac allows users to intuitively and easily create Cinemagraph images, a hybrid media form that combines the timeless quality of a photograph and elements of moving video. On February 25, Flixel released a professional version of the app for Mac, previously available only for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
The new software includes support for UHD (4K) resolution video capture, masking tools, seamless looping options and a wide range of filters. Creators can upload and share their living photos in high resolution to Flixel’s community as well as to a variety of social networks. Flixel also offers its audience the ability to embed living photos onto websites and blogs. The embeddable Flixel player hides the complexities of video on the web and provides a seamless experience that auto-plays and auto-loops in all browsers and platforms, including mobile.
Cinemagraph images are growing in popularity among professional and hobbyist photographers, marketers and advertisers. They are using living photos to push the boundaries of visual storytelling. Cinemagraph images gained a strong following after Tyra Banks utilized Flixel’s technology on Cycle 20 of America’s Next Top Model to create unique living images previously unseen in the fashion world.
System Requirements:

Cinemagraph Pro 1.0.1 is $14.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the Mac App Store in the Photography category and on the Flixel website.
