Pixelmator Pro 3.2
Released on December 6, 2022
Pixelmator Pro 3.2 introduces some incredible new ways to create designs with full support for video layers, adds support for popular video formats, includes all-new video and social media templates, brings major improvements to Motion document support, and more.
New Features
With full support for video layers, you can now edit videos and create stunning video designs with all the same tools you use to edit images.

Work with a number of popular video formats, including MP4, QuickTime Movie, and even moving image formats such as animated GIFs and PNGs.
Quickly create eye-catching designs with cinematic social media story templates and 4K movie title templates.
Video Layers Support
Video layers in Pixelmator Pro work just like any other layers — you can mask or crop them, add effects, change colors, and more.
Find useful information about video length in the video layer description.
Work with videos with transparency, compressed using HEVC or Apple ProRes 4444 codecs.
Import Live Photos from the Photos browser and edit them as photos or videos.
Use quick video editing settings in the video layer shortcut menu, and the menu bar, or use handy, on-canvas controls.
Easily start and stop video playback, mute, and unmute audio.
You can also press the Space bar on your keyboard to play all layers, or Option + Space to play only the selected layers.
With additional video editing settings, adjust the length of the video, scrub through individual frames, or select a poster frame.
For compositions with multiple video layers, use Advanced Settings to delay, loop videos, or choose the behavior of the first and last video frames.
Use playback delay to specify when each of the videos in a composition will start to play.
Keep your videos playing on repeat with Loop or Bounce effects.
Enjoy top video playback performance and a smooth, real-time video editing experience, powered by AVFoundation.
On devices with Apple silicon, harness the power of M1 and M2 chips to edit and export videos of up to 8K resolution.
