The Flixel team announced today the release of Cinemagraph+ for Mac, the only consumer friendly tool specifically designed for the easy and intuitive creation of living photos.
“We are very excited about living photography as a new form of visual storytelling,” says Philippe LeBlanc, Flixel’s co-founder and CEO. “In addition to developing creation tools, our primary objective is to educate artists on this new medium and its various applications. With the introduction of our consumer product at an accessible price point of $49.99, we are making this technology and the art form available to a wider community of artists.”

Cinemagraph+ for Mac comes after the successful introduction of Cinemagraph Pro, Flixel’s 2014 Apple Design Award winning application launched back in late February 2014. Within weeks of its introduction, Flixel’s professional living photo software topped the Mac App Store charts in nearly 80 countries around the world.
