The files in the Video Creator’s VFX bundle are in .mov ProRes format, compatible with most existing video editing software.

As with all Humble Bundles, you can decide how your money is allocated between Humble, charity, the publisher and (thanks so much if you do!) to support GFS purchasing using this link.
