And if I get a code (hint hint!!), will keep it on my older videostation for my daughter to learn on. Overall, after a quick play with the -still!!! argh, send me an activation code!!! - unactivated and unregistered software, I like it.

Why? Because anyone new is going to pretty soon work out how to load their video, click and discover the effects, and then scratch their heads wondering how to do it, or get lost in the on-line guides. The most obvious example being "add to your video". In your guides, include a couple of "in-your-face" how-to-do this tutorials. Viewing from the perspective of an individual new to video editing and compositing, a quick plea. I would be interested in knowing which encoding engines are used (I tend to use Mainconcept plug-ins for Premier, for example), or export uncompressed and use Mainconcept for HD, or Canopus Procoder for SD. AVI has no encoding options at all, other than colour depth (locked on 'RGB') and codec (locked on 'uncompressed').īeing unable to try these options, I can't comment further. The H.264 encoder appears to offer a target and maxbit rate (all options are locked as this format is unavailable in the trial), 1 pass VBR encoding (and presumably CBR and 2-pass VBR), and only AAC audio. Why is this important? Because the appearance of the final video is hugely dependent upon encoding. I'm interested in the "under the hood" rendering engine, as the only output formats appear to be YouTube, H.264, Image sequence, and AVI. As it is not activated, I couldn't render (export) the film to anything other than a YouTube account.

Moving on to the software per-se, I had a quick play with some existing footage, and within the confines of the un-activated version put together a silly little montage of effects quite quickly. This uses the 'classic' Windows UI, which makes the interface resizable, although still blocks the taskbar. because not every one may poke about the menus and see "EDIT | WORKSPACES | Classic". Now, HF doesn't utilise tooltips, which is a shame. checking mail for the activation key!), I have to take my hands off the mouse to ALT-TAB, or minimise HitFilm, do what I want to do, then re-size it. If I want to flip out of one program to check on another (i.e. This is the first time I have encountered this, and it is as annoying as hell.
Of course this doesn't obscure the dialogue boxes, but it is a major inconvenience.įurthermore, the program blocks Windows' taskbar and start menu. The main program box is not resizeable, which can be problem when using dual monitors with an extended desktop as ALL file requestors and message boxes open in the center of the screen, where of course monitor bezels meet.
However, the default UI is very much "windows 10" themed. Whilst the free version is no Premier or Final Cut Pro, it is competent and ships with a decent number of effects, and not too many wipes and fades.įires up quickly, with a neat and uncluttered interface. I have to state "for Windows" as Linux has some extremely powerful professional grade video editing and compositing tools (Pitvi, Kdenlive, Cinelera, Blender, and of course, Lightworks). Throughout this manual, the green Express Add-On icon seen above will identify all features which can be activated in HitFilm Express by purchasing an Add-On pack.For a free product, this is quite a powerful product for Windows users. All effects included in Add-On Packs can be tested in the free software.

It includes all the features required for editing and basic compositing and effects creation, but lacks some of the more advanced features available in the Pro version.
