Cinemagraph Pro

I’ve used (and I own) them ALL! All of the video creation Apps like this. This is just short on a few things. I CAN’T seem to upload/integrate into, on top of or otherwise any additional features. Let’s just say that I create videos for one of the BIGGEST, MOST BOMBASTIC Rock Bands that you, your parents, and even your grandparents ALL know VERY well. So, from establishing features that bring their website completely to life to more basic (a very relative term here) promotional videos for new merchandise, new music, new Tour or ticket announcements, etc. I NEED to have all of these different Apps. For a time I thought that I might even be able to use just this App. BUT, I can’t take what I’ve created and then import, say, fireworks, fire explosions or other things; maybe confetti and dropping streamers, fans’ arms waving, or other on top of what I’ve already created. AND INCIDENTALLY, on that note, I created the BEAUTIFUL original lively and colorful work on another App, BUT once I’ve tried to work with it within the parameters of Flixel, the Flixel Watermark took hold INTO MY PRE-EXISTING ARTWORK and won’t go away without me having to BUY MY OWN PRE-CREATED ARTWORK FROM FLIXEL!!! Say what?????!! Uhh, NO!! Flixel taught me one important lesson there... NEVER, EVER, EVER bring my own artwork into the Flixel App to complete it there. That makes Flixel the ONLY APP where I have to tread carefully this way and make sure that I almost NEVER finish my projects in Flixel. Hey, otherwise, it’s nice and it’s powerful.

At first I was just a little confused on how to use the app. I discovered “cinemagraph” via Apple’s recommendation on the home page of the App Store. I figured the app would be fun to play with and it absolutely was. Within a few minutes of playing around, I propped my phone up, recorded a short video of a pool, and ended up having a really cool still-shoot where the only thing in the frame moving was a few flags in the foreground. I love the clip and can’t wait to share it. Also, unlike most apps, you can still get a great product with or without paying for premium features. Plus, there weren’t any pesky ads I ran into while creating my clip! Great app. 5 stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

To the developers: would you consider an option to allow People to pay individually for each watermark free render? It seems a lot of people enjoy this app but don’t feel a need to use it enough to want to shell out $15. I totally understand this is a professional tool but if you want to appeal to causal users, you really need to consider a casual price point. Perhaps .99-$1.99 for one render... or $5.00 for 3. Etc. Something to consider. Otherwise consider low-res option with smaller, less obtrusive watermark that lets your branding be displayed on social media sites without blocking the whole image. As it is, no one is using this to post on IG because of the watermark... and most people on IG aren’t paying $15 for access to an app for a month. Just saying...respectably. Cheers.
