Cinemagraph Pro
Ontario, Canada
What it is
Cinemagraph Pro lets photographers, marketers, and designers make cinemagraphs from video on Mac, iPhone, or iPad. Users can capture or import a clip, trim it, select a still image, and paint over that image to reveal motion. On supported devices, the iOS app can capture, edit, and share 4K cinemagraphs; export quality depends on the source video. iOS exports include H.264, HEVC, Live Photo, and GIF. Users can send work to social networks, save a Facebook Profile video, or export an Apple Live Photo. An Apple Watch can act as a remote shutter release or set a capture countdown. The app supports iCloud Drive, uploads cinemagraphs to Flixel for sharing and embedding, and 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. A free plan and free trial are listed. Paid options include monthly subscriptions ranging from $9.99 to $29.99 a month, plus a $299.99, paid once license purchase.
