I've been using HitFilm Pro for years, and I still learn something new every day
Me too! There was one great tip here (tracking one frame to check the points selected) that made me facepalm.
Thanks Zach and FX home for everything
You're welcome!
- Javert
Oh, this is a weak area for me, so super helpful, for sure! Thanks, Zach and all involved.
Happy to help!
- Javert
Definitely learnt something new. Looks super useful and powerful.
Not sure how I would use it but knowing it's there and what it can do is a big plus.
Great to hear!
- Javert
Another amazing tutorial by Zach
Thank you so mach......this is helpful video..

What a great tutorial. Thanks Zach!
Glad you liked it!
oh thanks for this nice tutorial, can you also do it with an MP4 video instead of the logo?
a long, proper tutorial on this effect. thanks!!
Glad you liked it!
- Javert
Thank you so much
Amazing tutorial! thanks
Glad it was helpful!
- Javert
this is soo helpful
By the way 0:02 that color grading is famn good
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful :)
Very good 👍
Thanks!

Can this be applied to VR footage or will the footage be too complex for the tracker?? I'm wanting to take my video creations to the next level & I'm loving HitFilm already.
*Tutorial request*
Could you guys make a tutorial on how to use the particle simulator to make automatic bullet shells eject from a gun? It has been hard to individually key each shot out, and for automatic guns, ejecting bullets is tedious. I'm sure the Particle sim. could do it, but I don't know how to work the emitter to shoot singly like a bullet shell...
Thanks for so many awesome tutorials!!!
Van you make a arm, leg or body stretch effect?
Using the Camera Tracker in Pro, I import 3D models into my drone vids. Is there an obvious way to mask out parts of the 3D model that is "hidden" by 2D objects in my vids (for instance, I'd like yo add a decking around a house as my drone circles it).
I dont understand why i dont get any Tracks. When i preview i see no tracks, when i go full i also dont get tracks
Is there any information about the next major HitFilm update that was mentioned a few months ago?
Covid, and the reopen, no, go work from home, ok, go back to work, no, work from home has played havoc with the schedule and slowed things down. It's well into testing, and there are some really cool new features coming, but, as a rule FXhome doesn't give release date notices until the product is ready to release. Sorry about the delay. As an outside tester under NDA I can't go into any detail, but there are some great workflow and speed enhancements coming, some sweet new effects, and a few very highly requested features coming.
yay
Is it possible to export Foundry's tracking data to Blender?
To quote me from the Hitfilm Forum, "It ia not possible to export tracking data from Hitfilm to Blender."
To quote Javert Valbarr's response to me, "It is not possible to export tracking data from Hitfilm to Blender... *yet.*"
I use Vegas Effects, and that doesn't have a 3d camera tracker ;(
(ik there are other options but those dont work always)
why longer process in hitfilm? is after effects camera tracker is worst?
Hi, I have a slight idea to improve audio effects in hitfilm express. I belive hard limiting is a really important feature that an editing software needs even at a beginner level, a lot of the audio recorded into hitfilm has a lot of dynamic range and it would be useful to limit that that audio at a particlar -db threshold. I have noticed that hitfilm audio clips and snaps harshly due to the abasence of a hard limiter. Is there any way to add this option in one of the next updates? Thank you.
A hard limiter is just a compressor with the compression ratio cranked up really high. Hitfilm has a compressor (it's built in to Pro, part of the Audio Toolkit add on for Express), and the compressor has a checkbox for hard limiting.
Congratulations! Hitfilm already does what you're asking for! 👍
@@HitfilmUniversity Even after using it hitfilm appears to be cutting away my audio and clicking post rendering. I can't find a solution for this I even tried to turn the volume far down but it still seems to be happeing. I'm assuming that hitfilm can't deal with sounds that have been saturated beforehand, I could be wrong but either way its a pretty big problem. If I can't find a reasonable solution I'll have to switch away from hitfilm as it is compromising my audio quality and as the problem stands I can't do any further work in the software.
hey i got a question about the one at 0:12 i bealive that is anglia square i live close to that aswell
That's right!

@@FXhome Thats incredible
is this Foundry camera tracke available for purchase on hitfilm Express as an add-on?
No, but the Mocha one is.
@@DerekHartley which one is better?
@@santerisalonen3603 in this case it's not a question of "better," because both tools use fundamentally different techniques and have different strengths and weaknesses.
Foundry is a a feature tracker, which means it's tracking a whole ton of individual points. The advantage of this is the computer can do a lot more of the work automatically. As shown here, it's track, then adjust parameters to reject the points that tracked poorly, then create your scene. The disadvantage is that Foundry is tracking POINTS. Too much/too fast camera movement and the tracker can't lock onto anything. Basically, motion blur ruins tracking.
Mocha is a planar tracker - it tracks rectangles in the scene defined by the user by tracking the overall texture in the tracked area. Mocha requires more user input to set up, and you need to try and track areas as close to where you wish to add elements as possible. Also, finding good, nearly flat areas that can be treated as a flat rectangle can be difficult. There's more art and skill to setting up a good track in Mocha, BUT, Mocha can deal with motion blur that makes Foundry choke.
I've had shots I couldn't track in Mocha at all, but Foundry handled lickity-split, and shots Foundry couldn't figure out that Mocha handled with ease.
Note that Mocha also has specialized tools to assist in roto and masking, so Mocha is more versatile than Foundry, which only tracks.
Another option is Blender. Blender can do point cloud tracking like Foundry (although you have to manually select the points to track), and, with the help of an FXhome Blender script, you can export the Blender track to Hitfilm.
👌🏾
Hey I wanted to know as to why can't I see an option of elipse mask tool in hitfilm express??
You have to hold down on the square mask button. Then the option to pick the ellipse mask pops up.
@@Jamz_ee oh thank u 🙏
I'm using hitfilm pro trial. When I import video, I don't see anything thing in controls tab. I don't know what the problem is?
The video needs to be on the timeline or in a composite shot to show the Controls.
- Javert
@@FXhome Sorry for OT topic, but I dont know how to lock heigh and width of video. When I add the first video in editor, it's automatic change resolution of video in Viewer. Here is the demo link: www.loom.com/share/5badf103527644f3b289fb7613baed0e
🤩👍🏼👍🏼
Hope you enjoyed!
- Javert
you guys didnt warn us how long it would take to track 😩😭😭😭.......all jokes aside, thanks for this. ive learnt more than i did at university.
We're so glad we could help! Sorry for the wait though haha
- Tom
Seems like a tutorial about extracting lighting from scenes would go a ways towards more realistic 3D models. There should be enough information in a scene to do so. Shadows are harder since there are no "objects" in a scene except the ones inserted.
There actually is one that dates way back to Hitfilm 4
czcams.com/video/TfwkTqO-hrM/video.html
cant get it to work
Ae's Tracker is so much easier....its actually kinda funny how AE had this tracker before.
I'm a Nuke compositor and I mostly watch these videos to laugh, but I had no idea you guys have nuke's camera tracker.
It's not exactly part of the industry pipeline but Hitfilm is my go-to for anything that isn't industry grade, it's just so convenient and fast to do everything.
Ok dude nobody made you comment this
Jio sir.... You are king... But I have one complaint..... You please make detail and different type of VFX videos.... Like video copilot tutorial 😭😭..... Video copilot always.. Make different type of video... With full.. detail..... And colour grading a very important... You skip that part.... In many videos.... Video copilot also used... 3D max and cinema 4D.... To use set extension.... Or VFX.... Modelling and composite.... Make detail video like that teach every parts of 2D composition... With 3D composition
You want a tutorial for a product made by a rival company? That.... makes no sense.
@@DerekHartley after effect and hitfilm Pro... Both are composite software... Like cinema 4D ,3D max, Maya are 3D software.... In future more composite software available in market... All comes for only business.... No need to rival each other...... Because world are very big...
@@dishadidi3000 Yes, but FX Home literally make Hitfilm. You're not going to see tutorials for other products on this channel.
@@DerekHartley yes I know...I ask detail composite video.... And different VFX composite video....I not ask after effects tutorial....if see hitfilm ... Tutorial in this channel.... They have skip many parts..... That's not good for beginners....we need full detail video....30 to 40 minutes length...if you visit red giant... CZcams channel... They also make detail video.... Short video only good for entertainment purpose.... Not for learning...
