System Requirements
What you need to run Filmit Studio and the plugin suite. Most modern Mac and PC creative workstations are well above these specs.
Operating System
Filmit Studio
The desktop app that installs, updates, and manages every Filmit plugin and web app. Free to download. Runs natively on macOS and Windows.
Linux is not currently supported. Adobe Creative Cloud does not run on Linux, so the plugin suite has no host application there.
Host Applications
Adobe Creative Cloud
Filmit plugins are CEP extensions for Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro. We test against the latest two major releases of each app.

CEP (Common Extensibility Platform) is Adobe's plugin framework. Filmit plugins install into Adobe's standard CEP extensions folder, so any Adobe app that supports CEP can host them. The browser-based web apps (Estimator, Crew List, Call Sheet, Release Forms, Projects) work in any modern browser regardless of your editing app.
Browser-based tools
Web Apps
The web app suite (Estimator, Crew List, Call Sheet, Release Forms, Projects) runs entirely in your browser. No install, no host application required.
| Browser | Minimum Version | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Chrome | 110+ | Fully supported |
| Edge | 110+ | Fully supported |
| Firefox | 115+ | Fully supported |
| Safari | 16+ | Fully supported |
| Mobile Safari / Chrome (iOS / Android) | Latest | Read-only on small screens |
Network
Connectivity
Filmit Studio needs occasional internet access for license validation, plugin installation, and updates. The plugins themselves work fully offline once installed.
License validation
Filmit Studio confirms your subscription with our server every 30 minutes when it's running. If you're offline, plugins continue to work using a cached license token (valid up to 30 days). After 30 days offline, you'll be prompted to reconnect once.
Installs and updates
Plugin downloads are streamed from a global CDN. A typical plugin is 50–300 KB. Studio itself is around 80 MB at install time.
Web apps
Browser-based tools require an active connection to load. They cache locally for the current session.
