“What was great about using Cinemagraph Pro is that I was able to quickly download my footage and test to see if I had captured what I needed to achieve my vision. In the past when I shot cinemagraphs I would have to cross my fingers and play around in Photoshop or After Effects, hoping I had gotten the ideal footage. With this new software it would take me just a couple minutes to ensure I have gotten exactly what I needed.” -Lindsay Adler

“I was using Photoshop before but Flixel makes the process much easier.” -Dan Felstead
“Having a blast with the software and app. Really stoked to be able to add to my tool box as a video editor/videographer. I look forward to using it more and more. ” -Andrew Benavides
