Mac Envy

Mac users must have looked on with envy as one of the most common requests the team at FXhome received was "When will you do a Mac version?"

FXhome are a relatively small British company without the resources to throw a whole programming team at rewriting the code for Mac so they came up with the idea of a Kickstarter project.

Originally launched on May the 8th with a target of £25,000 the project smashed it's goal and ended at £58,126 on June the 7th, now just five months later FXhome have released the Mac version of HitFilm 2 Ultimate.
