And although FiLMiC, the company, states that pricing is not 100% finalized yet, what we can already tell by looking at the available iOS App Store in-app purchases, well, it ain’t cheap: With all that in mind, here’s the kicker: FiLMiC Pro will no longer be available as a one-time payment app, but you’ll have to opt for a subscription instead. Big companies need a lot of money to survive, it’s as simple as that. But large corporations are usually more interested in sheer Excel numbers and profit margins, rather than putting all their energy and love into a specific product… I don’t blame Bending Spoons here, I blame the mechanisms of capitalism, to be honest.

Sure, the core team of FiLMiC Pro remains the same, all the great men and women working on this very popular app in the filmmaking world are still there. While this may be good news for the customer base in terms of future feature upgrades, as the much larger Bending Spoons can offer more workforce and thus development time, things stand differently in terms of the upcoming business model. So FiLMiC is becoming a brand instead of remaining a standalone company. However, there are some concerns among their users and especially the new subscription-based pricing might be a bitter pill to swallow for some. Therefore, it seems only natural that FiLMiC Pro would be a perfect fit for their portfolio and that both Splice and FiLMiC Pro could potentially benefit from the merger. FiLMiC Pro – Dolby Vision HDR on iPhone 12 (Composed with GFX by FiLMiC Inc.) So, the company is no newcomer to mobile filmmaking and especially editing. This is a mobile app for smartphones and tablets that allows filmmakers to edit their videos right on the spot, wherever they are. You may not be familiar with Bending Spoons but have heard of one of their (quite popular) apps: Splice.

While the company promises that FiLMiC Pro will benefit from this merger, it also announces a move to a subscription-based model instead of perpetual licenses. The company behind FiLMiC Pro, one of the few truly professional video apps for smartphones, has announced they’re joining forces with (aka being acquired by) major app developer Bending Spoons from Italy.
