Maxon makes Autograph free for teams

BAD HOMBURG, GERMANY – Maxon (maxon.net), the developer of 2D & 3D software, as well as graphic design workflows, announced that Autograph team licenses are now available completely free for commercial use. No matter the setting, professionals working across teams of any size can now use Autograph at no cost. The move expands access to Autograph beyond individual users, giving teams, studios, agencies, brands, educators and commercial creative groups full access to Maxon’s modern motion graphics and VFX/compositing application across collaborative workflows.

Autograph was recently reintroduced by Maxon as a free professional motion graphics and compositing tool for individual users. The tool combines 2D animation, compositing and 3D capabilities in a unified environment that's optimized for speed and creative flexibility. The application supports modern production standards, including USD, OpenEXR, ACES, OpenColorIO and OpenFX, and integrates with Universe and select Red Giant tools. Autograph launches with support for third-party OpenFX plug-ins from Re:Vision Effects, BorisFX and Digital Anarchy, and is available directly through their respective marketplaces. 



“Autograph’s launch has sparked one of the most enthusiastic community responses we’ve seen,” notes David McGavran, CEO of Maxon. “Creators are telling us they want intuitive, modern tools without sacrificing professional quality and capabilities. By making Autograph free for team collaboration, we’re shaping the future of motion design and visual storytelling.”

Autograph users will have full access to Maxon’s Cineversity Training library, with tutorials for onboarding and getting started quick. There are no limits or conditions on who can use Autograph in their creative professional workflow, and there are no output limitations or time restrictions.
