It's available as a standalone application for Windows, MAC, and Linux operating systems, with a fully supported export pipeline to your favorite compositing or 3D application. Options include Adobe After Effects, Nuke, Fusion, Blender, Flame, Maya, Houdini, and more. Prices start at $499 for a permanent license. Learn more
