So once you get your head around one, you can work easily in both. First and foremost there’s a common graphic look and workflow between Vegas POST and HitFilm Pro. Vegas Effects is one major component of Vegas POST, which also includes Vegas Image, all developed by FXhome. Interestingly when you open a HitFilm (.hfp) project, you also have the option of opening a Vegas Effects (.vegfx) project as well.
To move from NLE mode to Comp mode you simply choose the appropriate tab above the timeline, named Editor and Composite Shot. So what is HitFilm Pro exactly? It is a uniquely integrated package that allows you to work with it as both a non-linear video editor and a 3D compositor, all on the one timeline. When working with such powerful and complex programs as these, getting useful help when needed is really important and the crew at FXhome are impressive in this respect. I had a small technical issue with that which was promptly addressed by their support team. They also developed the Vegas POST package. Oh, and in case that’s not good enough for you, HitFilm Express is free and ideal for basic editing, compositing and effects creation.įXhome go to great lengths to make the installation and activation process straightforward which is great.
I cannot over-emphasize how strongly I support this approach. You get 12 months free updates which can be extended should you wish, but you still own the software for ever. It is worth stating at the outset that this is a full ownership price. It is much bigger and much better, and it is still, at US$349 for the base product, incredibly good value for money. The same opening sentence is true for version 15, except that the whole package is even more comprehensive and refined. I wrote: HitFilm 4 Pro is an astonishingly full-featured non-linear editing (NLE) and 3D graphics package which is available at an almost unbeatable price. Back in 2016 I reviewed HitFilm Pro 4 and was mightily impressed.
