HITFILM PRO 2017 TUTORIALS PROFESSIONAL
You’ll notice at the bottom you can choose to either start editing or start compositing, so we’ll choose Start Editing, and we’ll start discussing editing in our next lesson.īe sure to check out our growing list of HitFilm Pro tutorials here. You can buy HitFilm Pro here . For most parts, Hitfilm Express (the free professional video editing software) operates almost like Adobe Premiere Pro. You can ignore the Rendering settings for now, as we’ll deal with them in an upcoming lesson. In most cases this is not a big deal, as most footage is acquired digitally these day. Now, something very important for me to point out is that there is no way to capture footage into HitFilm Pro… Any footage you want to work with needs to be already on your system.

If you decide that you want to go ahead and create your own project in HitFilm Pro, keep in mind that once you have the settings set the way you like them, save them in the “Template” section at the top, so you have easy access to them at a later time. You’re now ready to either enter all the relevant data about your project (Height, Width, Frame Rate, etc), or you can use a template from the top dropdown. If you look closely at the top of the HitFilm Pro interface, you’ll notice four tabs that you’ll be able to click through, once you get to the editing stage. Once you’re ready to create a new project, simply click on the “NEW” button in the upper left hand corner of the interface, and you will be brought to the Project Settings window. Now let’s get in and create a new project. FXHOME have released close to three-hundred video tutorials over the lifetime of the Hitfilm line-while some of these tutorials go back to Hitfilm 1, almost everything in the HF 1, 2, 3 and 4 tutorials applies to 2017, and there are also excellent video tutorials from community members. Do not switch tabs during the export process.ĭone.In our first lesson, in learning HitFilm Pro, we talked about getting up and running, and what to expect when you first launch the application. If you click on the destination below output (in the middle) you can change where to save the video.ġ7. On the right side you can select the format you want to export the video file in. If a new window opens, click “Go to Export”ġ6. Export the video: Right click on “Composition Shot”, go to “Export” and click “Export Contents”ġ5.

Select the destination, give the project a name and click save. Save the project by clicking “File” and “Save As”. It should be blue with a dot in the middle!!ġ3. !! If a new keyframe is not added after you move the mask or adjust the shape of the mask, click on the circle next to “Scale X/Y” and “Center”. Repeat this process until you reach the end of the video. Click “Next frame” again, adjust the mask when necessary and check that after you moved a new keyframe icon appears in the timeline. Once you moved the mask you should get new keyframe icons in the timeline.ġ2.

Now move the mask in the preview area so the mask covers the face again.ġ1. Click the “Next Frame” button until the mask does not cover the face anymore. In Hitfilm there are paid add-ons to get specific functionality as you want but DaVinci Resolve gives the same functionality. Once the mask is in position click on the circle under “Position” next to “Center” to set the first keyframe.ġ0. Plugins compatible with Adobe After Effects CC, Adobe Premiere Pro CC, Apple Final Cut Pro X, Apple Motion, Avid Media Composer, DaVinci Resolve 11/12, Grass Valley EDIUS 8/9, Sony Catalyst Edit, NUKE 9 by Foundry, Vegas Pro 14. Answer (1 of 2): If you find Hitfilm Express a better switch, you can, but I feel DaVinci Resolve takes the cake for me as it will provide more functionality than Hitfilm. If you click and hold on the mask in the preview you can move the mask in the right position over the face. Once you have the right shape you can click in the circle next to “Scale X and Y” to set a keyframe.ĩ. Under “Shape” you can adjust the size of the pixelation mask.
