Product description

Workflow

Combined Timelines
• Switch from one tab to the next like you would on a browser depending on your needs. Edit in one, composite in the other, and jump back to the editor without any need to load another piece of software.

Personalizable Workstation
• Adjust your interface using the collapsible and expandable panels to ensure you have access to the things you need and aren't distracted by panels you don't. Your personal interface can then be saved as your default layout.

Enhanced Performance
• You can customize your playback quality and paused quality. This allows you to experience really fast playback in the editor and trimmer, preventing lagging and making it much easier to time up edits/cuts. Not only can you playback at a different quality, you can now control that quality from the menu in the viewer. This allows you to make faster, snappier edits.

Mask Editing and Rendering
• Masking is used to manually create a matte. A matte determines which parts of a layer are visible. Practically, this means that masks are used to cut holes in your layers. HitFilm Pro's mask editing is faster than ever before, enhancing and speeding up the rotoscoping process. As video quality increases, the software must be capable of handling everything it's given which is why performance has been boosted.

Export Queue
• HitFilm Pro's export queue allows you to set up a list of edits and shots to export while you're away from your desk. If you close down the software, the export will automatically resume when you load it back up.

Export Presets
• Export presets let you configure your export settings for high quality or high compression. Just drag and drop your selected presets, make it the default and move on to the next task. Export is available in multiple formats including 32-bit color and industry standard GoPro Cineform (Win) or QuickTime ProRes (Mac).

Professional Formats
• HitFilm Pro's 8K support and RAM preview ensures the best possible quality for your projects. Work with all footage, from your vertical smartphone shots to high-end professional camera documentaries, HitFilm can handle it.

Intelligent Search
• Quickly locate what you need with HitFilm Pro's keyword search and find feature for all your media, effects, and composite timelines. Coming from another software system? HitFilm Pro's algorithm recognizes keyword links to help you find what you're looking for.

Video Editing

Animation Tools
• A large number of advanced animation tools are now available within both editor timelines. This huge update allows you to create and edit audio and video transitions without the need to create composite shots.

Composite Shot Enhancements
• There is a vast number of animation tools, more than ever before, at your disposal in composite shots. For example, you can now animate two shots at once by using the control panel graph and the timeline graph. If you're working on a complicated composite shot, you can work on a scene at the top and bottom of the shot simultaneously.

Audio Hard Limiter
• Professional audio editing functionality allows you to normalize your audio without any need for external software. Make all the adjustments you need inside HitFilm to create a pitch perfect performance.

Unlimited Tracks
• HitFilm supports unlimited video and audio tracks on your timeline.

Picture in Picture
• Picture in Picture (or PiP) is a highly common video style in online content. HitFilm now provides a quick solution for this with the Picture in Picture effect, allowing you to position one clip inside another with different scales and position relative to the layer.

Adaptive Trimmer
• You now have the power to re-trim your clips after adding them to the timeline. Double-clicking a clip sends it to the trimmer panel, ready for you to make the adjustments you need. Once the necessary changes have been made the clip on the timeline will be automatically updated.

Behaviors
• Behavior Effects have now been added with a whole array of possibilities. Rotate By Layer allows one layer to rotate by a specified multiplier of another layer's rotation.

Vertical Video
• HitFilm provides support for vertical videos, creating a blurred version of the original video to use as a background so the video can seamlessly fit alternative aspect ratios.

Compositing and Layering
• Add new dimensions to your filmmaking by bringing together 3D layers, models and particle simulations in the same space. Create stunning user interfaces by layering 2D graphics directly inside a 3D model.

3D Camera Projection
• Take an ordinary 2D photo and convert it to a projected, photoreal 3D scene complete with camera movement.

Attributes
• HitFilm now offers the ability to copy a group of attributes from one clip and apply them directly to another, or your whole project. Forgot to grade your first 10 clips? Now you can grade one and easily apply the same grade to the rest.

Audio Mixer
• The audio mixer allows you to fine-tune your sound for professional quality output. Easily modify, balance, and mix tracks, or get precise control over individual elements with mute and solo features.

Transitions
• Make a smooth segue or eye-popping transition between shots with one of HitFilm Pro's dissolve, push, slide, split, wide, zoom, fade or iris transition features. You can even build your own transition type within a composite shot or the editor timeline.

Dedicated Trimmer
• Get your rough cut looking sharp with HitFilm Pro's dedicated editing trimmer, complete with insert and overlay functionality. Cut it even quicker with customizable keyboard shortcuts to set the 'in' and 'out' points in the trimmer.

Particle Simulator

Emitters
• An emitter is where all particle effects begin, specifying where the particles appear and affecting their initial trajectory.

Particle Systems
• An emitter can contain multiple particle systems. A particle system is the visible part of the particle effect. The properties of a particle system will determine the visual appearance and behavior of each individual particle at its birth. Once a particle is born, its behavior can be affected by multiple external factors, such as deflectors and forces.

Mobile Emitters
• Emitters can also contain mobile emitters. These are special types of emitter that are spawned in the same way as particle systems, but which can then go on to spawn their own particle systems.

Deflectors & Forces
• If you want your particles to interact in more interesting ways, deflectors and forces are what you need. Deflectors are collision areas for particles and can be shapes generated inside the particle simulator or other layers on your timeline. This is a great way to simulate particles colliding with real world objects in your live action footage.

Particle Shapes
• Create awe-inspiring particle clouds based on 2D shapes or 3D geometry. Then warp them into organic forms with extensive fractal distortion. You can even mix in an audio clip to automate the animation.

3D Objects As Particles
• Want to get more creative with your particle design? Simply import your own 3D models as particles to create everything from a fleet of warships to a swarm of locusts.

Post Processing
• Take computer-generated particle systems to the next level by adding 2D effects and filters. You can add heat distortions to big explosions or mists over a foggy mountain to give your special effects scenes a more organic look.

Compositor's Toolkit

Text and Titling
• HitFilm Pro comes with professional text and titling options. Add 3D geometry effects such as extrude, bevel, and rotate to your text to create the look you want. The geometry supports lights, shadows, and environments maps. Text layers also now correctly support Asian characters. Not only can you copy and paste without issue but you can now type directly into the textbox.

Fire and Lightning
• Procedurally generated fire and lightning with accurate behavior and appearance can be further enhanced with heat distortion and post-processed lighting effects.

Muzzle Flashes
• HitFilm Pro's gunfire effect generates an endless variety of muzzle flashes, from pistols to miniguns. Unlike pre-rendered stock, these can be rotated in full 3D to work from any angle.

Repair Your Footage
• Remove unwanted digital grain from your videos, fix jello-vision caused by rolling shutter cameras, stabilize jittery handheld shots, and remove distortion from fisheye lenses.

Lens Flares
• Mix and adjust flares, anamorphic streaks, light leaks, sparkling highlights, volumetric 3D light rays, and high-quality glows to enhance your cinematography.

360° Video
• Take advantage of the updated 360° video viewer panel allowing you to view 360° video in its original state inside the trimmer alongside the adjusted version so that you can easily add the all-new 360° video effects.

Puppet Tool
• Use the Puppet tool to quickly add natural motion to raster images and vector graphics, including still images, shapes, and text characters. The Puppet effect works by deforming part of an image according to the positions of pins that you place and move. These pins define what parts of the image should move, what parts should remain rigid, and what parts should be in front when parts overlap.

Color Correction & Grading

Scopes
• Use layer-specific vectorscopes, waveforms, and histograms to take your color correction and grading to another level.

Vectorscope
• Don't let your characters blend into the background. Vectorscope viewer identifies skin tones so you can adjust color and saturation. See where color has been removed, how to achieve white balance and how much tint you're adding.

Color Support
• Use 32-bit color grading to add vibrant color tones and textures that jump off the screen. No banding, no pixels, just smooth gradients and future-facing films. You can use work from almost any source and resolution, even 8K UHD.

Curves
• Allow yourself to bend the truth in each scene. HitFilm Pro's curve effects give you extremely fine control over the final look of your shots.

Color Wheels
• If you're stuck finding the right color for the job the color wheels that come with HitFilm Pro will give you every option to pick from.

Extensive Presets
• Found your signature look? Save it with HitFilm Pro's color settings presets so you can quickly recreate it in your next project. HitFilm Pro includes hundreds of presets as standard, with many plug-ins for additional power and flexibility.

Grading Toolkit
• HitFilm Pro's extensive collection of color grading tools lets you customize your own look and lighting. Each tool can be applied to the entire shot, or specific areas of the frame, to ensure precise color grading. You can even grade several layers at once.

Cinematic Looks
• Prep your film for the big screen with HitFilm Pro's classic cine style and cine style effects. Choose from effects like Bleach Bypass, Day For Night, Grading Transfer, Three-Strip Color, Two-Strip Color, and Film Grain to add a flair of drama and cinematic edge.

Matte Cleaning
• Key to the highest standard with HitFilm Pro's matte cleaner tool. Get high-quality composites every time through smoothing, feathering and choking the edge of the key.

Spill Simulation and Light Wrapping
• HitFilm Pro's unique spill simulation feature replaces unwanted light reflections from your green screen with realistic simulated light from your new background. You can even add the light wrap effect for a more realistic light bloom around your foreground elements.

Tracking

2D Feature Tracking
• HitFilm's 2D tracker is designed for quickly tracking moving features in your videos. Once you've tracked the feature you want, the data can be used for a variety of things. If you've ever wanted to composite a realistic flying craft into your shot for example, tracking is a key step.

Mocha HitFilm
• HitFilm Pro includes a special version of Mocha from Imagineer Systems. Using Academy Award-winning planar tracking technology, Mocha provides advanced tracking solutions for multiple situations.

Importing 3D Camera Tracking Data
• HitFilm supports the .ma format for importing 3D camera data from other tracking products, such as Boujou and SynthEyes. Use the 3D camera tracking data option from the Import menu in the Media panel to select your .ma file.

Texturing
• Import and apply any texture to any model and configure specular maps to appropriately color each material. You can even experiment with normal and bump maps to add additional 3D detail to your model without negatively impacting editing, viewing performance and polycount. Reflections and lighting can be adjusted to get the right look and feel for your scene, including directional, spotlight, point, and ambient light. For added realism, you can add shadow casting to a 3D scene or switch on ambient occlusion to allow layers to cast and display shadows.

Mirror Reflections
• Models can now adopt mirror reflections. If you're using HitFilm for product or corporate videos, you can take a 3D model and create a complete and accurate mirror reflection for a realistic look.

Unified 3D Space
• You can position a 2D green-screened actor in the cockpit of 3D model helicopter without any layering tricks! HitFilm Pro's unified 3D space feature allows you to create layers and models that interact in the same space. Add effects like motion blur and depth of field using the software's built-in cameras for a more realistic look.

Doppler Shift
• Helicopter landings and revving engines sound as real as they look with HitFilm Pro's doppler shift feature. Simply attach audio to your animated 3D layers and HitFilm will automatically apply doppler shift as the layer moves towards (and away) from the camera.
