Free editing and visual effects software with no time limit and no subscription fee.

The main features of HitFilm 4 Express include: Hitfilm Express is a boon to new and occasional users, and will see more action from me than useful utilities like Handbrake, especially since I often bump up against activation limits. However, the editing mode is more akin to traditional NLEs than the quirky Apple iMovie and related software. Unfortunately you can’t edit XDCAM-EX footage without the MPEG-2 and extended format pack add-on. Use of 1080p Cineform and ProRes files is smooth. Hitfilm Pro beats After Effects with better native 3D, native particles, and certain other effects not built into After Effects, but it doesn’t have the depth of After Effects’ two decades of development.

Here’s a new example from Film Riot, part of the new Iron Man HUD tutorials:īeing a young app, Hitfilm Pro and Express lacks the many subtleties found in mature apps that now mostly require continual subscriptions fees – but it is fast and responsive. There are several tutorial projects built right into the app. Hitfilm advocates include YouTube superstars and indie filmmaking experts like Freddie Wong, Film Riot, and Corridor Digital.

Aimed mainly at YouTube creators, this free software seems capable and feature rich, and a useful resource for anyone. FXHOME released its free all-in-one video editing and visual effects software HitFilm 4 Express, a product based on Hitfilm Pro 4.
