Motion Studio is a new standalone desktop application + extension bundle, representing 10+ years of development at Mt. Mograph. ### Is upgrading to Motion Studio required? Upgrading to Motion Studio is completely optional. If you already own a license for Motion 4, that license will continue to work. We will continue to support Motion 4 with bug fixes and compatibility updates. ### Is Motion Studio included in with the Motion 4 license? No, Motion Studio is a separate product from Motion 4. While many of the features in the extension are from previous iterations of our Motion products, Motion Studio is a standalone application with numerous features that extend outside the Adobe ecosystem {% hint style="info" %} If you are a previous customer of ours who owns Motion 4 (or any previous Motion), keep an eye out in your email for a massive discount. We want upgrading to be easy and cost-effective for our community members who have supported us in the past. {% endhint %} ### What do you get with Motion Studio? {% hint style="success" %} **See** [**here**](/general/whats-new.md) **for a full list of exclusive features!** {% endhint %} * A new desktop application * Our brand-new Motion Mini extension * Advanced Easing screen for DaVinci Resolve Studio * Motion Color extension for Adobe Illustrator * Explodable extensions panels for Motion Color, Focus, and Easing. * Access to [Futures Lab](https://futures.mtmograph.com/) - Our community roadmap and requests board where you can submit and vote on what we work on next!
