Lightform FX
Your pipeline, your plugins, your Mac.
Node-based compositing
A flowgraph you can see and reason about. Plates in, renders out — every step is a node on the canvas.
Write your own plugins
Metal compute kernels, a typed parameter schema, viewer handles — ship a dylib and it shows up in the palette.
Native Mac performance
Built on Metal and AVFoundation. Unified-memory-aware texture pools, sRGB fast paths, and GPU gamma conversion.
Real formats, not toys
Cineon / DPX scene-linear float, MP4/MOV decode, sRGB and Rec.709 output. The pipeline respects your color.
Auto-updates
Signed with Developer ID, notarized by Apple, delivered over Sparkle. New builds land the day they ship.
Yours, on your machine
No subscription, no cloud, no phone-home telemetry. Open files stay open files.
