    I personally started my CZcams channel using Hitfilm Express, and I used it for a LONG time. I was forced to swap as the updates occurred and it eventually become unusable. The grass is definitely greener on the other side in my opinion I much prefer premiere now, but I will always miss Hitfilm express. It was an amazing program.

      You can run any software with a 💩 pc, trust me, i know 😂 Just create proxies for all media, set preview quality to quarter (in editor, this should be in every one).
      Out of editor, Go into task manager > details > find your editing program > right click > click priority mode > change to high > click affinity > uncheck last box (or last two if you have more than 7 boxes). Back in main selection of task manager, end all other tasks besides your video editor program. Do not open any other software while editing.
      If you do all this, pretty much anything (within reason) should run smooth as a baboons butt 🥳 best of luck out there 🤝 🙏

    Ngl, as an avid Hitfilm pro user (still using Hitfilm Pro 16), this video really was an eye opener. I have been been using hitfilm since 2019 and hitfilm pro since 2020 and have recommended it to every person that wanted to try video editing back then. But, after I learnt of their aquisition by Artlist in 2021-2022, I decided to try out their newest version of Hitfilm and... it was a dissaster just, as mentioned in the video. I thought that my computer was the issue back then, but seing that I'm not the only one that had those issues with it really relieved me but also made me worried as to what happened to a tool that I cherished and used nearly daily. At this point I'm thinking of jumping editors but at the same time I don't know what other editor I could use that feels and is layed out as nice as the current version of Hitfilm Pro I'm using other than Adobe. This really is a new market that has been left open with Hitfilm's departure of their base roots.

    It's odd because I've been using Hitfilm Express since like 2017. I've made every one of my videos with it, and I've been complacent with all the jank. Even after Express went away, I didn't really notice a difference... But it's always had a crashing problem, slow loading times, and especially wacky rendering, importing, and exporting. Wasn't sure if it was my specs that couldn't handle it or if the software was just slow, but after upgrading my computer specs, I've realized it's definitely the software. Thank you for the video because it's made me realize I need to swap software!

    I started video editing using sony vegas back in 2017 for about 3 years, and only recently came back to editing videos. I picked up Hitfilim since everyone was saying it was great and how similar it was to Pr which i always wanted to use just never did, It felt a little confusing at first but i loved it because you could edit inside of the frame which i loved and thought every editing program should have (still do). However all the almost necessary 'upgrades' for what to me felt like simple tools made no sense so about 2 weeks ago i switched to resolve and while its confusing AF and not really too intuitive (in my opinion) i can see how much better the free version is and how powerful it can be once i get used to it. Im kinda sad that i found hitfilm late because it has been my favourite software to use but here we are I guess. Loved the video, Has anyone else switched to resolve and found it confusing or is it just me?

I bought the perpetual license and some packs, that added some effects and other tools, for them on my old computer . The problem was when hitfilm decided to drop those versions entirely and those tools I bought werent transferred to the new subscription model. There is also a problem with the old versions that do not let me use the dlc that I purchased when I redownloaded them on my new pc. I tried reaching out to hitfilm and they didnt help, they basically told me "too bad".

    HitFilm actually still has perpetual plans, but the button for it is very obscure (look at the very bottom at frame 4:51, "View Perpetual Plans"). I bought HitFilm Pro for the exact same reason - to escape Adobe. However, seeing them switch to a subscription model just made them out of my list.

    I found out about Hitfilm from a Mine Imator Channel of all things, and eventually got Pro back in 2018 or 19 as a part of a humble bundle after about a year of using VEGAS and loved it. I used it up until about 7ish months ago when it was too laggy for my PC, and I kid you not switched to Blender and FL Studio for video editing. I use FL for Music Vid type stuff(Visualizers, synced up animation, etc...) and Blender for everything else. I still have VEGAS installed on my PC(because I'm a software hoarder who never deletes anything) and I've thought of going back to it, and probably will when I make non music based content. I want to at least try resolve(if anything for their color grading tools) but my current setup is a bit underpowered.
    Also if anyone is looking for a free(albeit non-traditional) video editor that can basically run on a Potato, Blender is unironically a great option, if you can wrap your head around the learning curve. And since it was optimized for 3D animation, it renders video extremely fast, lightyears faster than every other NLE I've used.

    I'm thinking now about how I used to use Hitfilm, frankly at the time I loved it (back when it was HitFilm express, I haven't touched it since about 2019), but my videos weren't super effect heavy. I now can't use Hitfilm due to it not being supported on my computer. I've recently switched to KdenLive and while it has a few issues I find it's workflow to be quite nice. It doesn't use composite shots or nested clips, but I've found this to be preferrable for larger projects, and your "composite shots" are more so just a section on a timeline that you specify in your effects. You can have composite effects which effect any clips in that timeline for any given duration, meaning no changing length of composite shots with arbitrary lengths.
    There's also my favorite feature which is prerendering, which is a MUST for effect heavy videos. It's not hardware accelerated on AMD on Windows, but if you use better operating systems (MacOS or Linux) hardware acceleration (during rendering only) works great. Hardware acceleration for timeline playback isn't supported fully yet, but prerendering makes this really IMO a non issue.

    I used hitfilm express at one point, and it worked. But then, I tried to reinstall it more recently when I got a new PC.
    And it was a pain.
    So i just went for DaVinci resolve.

    Haven't done serious video editing in a while but a few months back I picked up Clip Studio Pant PRO for $50 and decided to abandon the entire Adobe ecosystem all together. I picked up Davinci Resolve and while I haven't done anything on the level of what I used to do I find it to be usable enough. That plus the rapidly improving support for common video formats and better Linux compatibility I'll 100% be sticking with it once I make the switch from Windows on my next computer.

    Actually i used hitfilm a few years ago, i also never updated it
    I found it to be really easy to get a grasp on and simple to use, it was pretty good and i made some fun shitposts
    Sad to see how it ended up, although i recently just "*legally obtained*" Premiere pro so ill give it a try

    I have been using HitFilm Pro for a long time, in fact, an extremely old version of HitFilm. Things were meh for a while and then the transition happened. I have created hundreds, several hundreds of video across CZcams channels and other platforms. After waiting to buy HF for a while it finally just happened - I uninstalled HF and installed Davinci Resolve. I only knew HF, switching to Davinci was painful, I just want basic NLE - I'm not a 3d artist. That being said, getting used to DR, things are getting better and better every day for me editing wise in terms of ease of use, being less ocnfused, and enjoying the far superior performance. It's a shame to see what's happened to HF since it was a big part of me getting started.

    Nooo ;-; I had a problem with my computer and had to start from zero and lost my old account from Hitfilm. I really like the program, it was pretty intuitive and had everything I need for my projects. When I tried to download agan it started to crash my computer, and was sacre it was a maleware, so I cancel the setup.
    With what you said it sounds like it wasn't a maleware, but some kind of bug.

    Hitfilm would have been one of the best video editing suites if the acquisition didn't happen, especially for the express version. Because the express version was getting to a point where before the acquisition, the last 'real' version was nearly perfect.

    I'd been using it since 2015. A year ago they Fed it up completely and I stopped editting because of that :(
    I tried to talk to them and their custom support was absolutely DISRESPECTFUL and shocking.
    It was perfect. Not even close anymore. Now if you import a video it automatically adds some hue inverted filter that you can't even remove

  • @PraxisMedia

    I just watched your most recent video about Ludwig’s experiment and when I saw a fire effect you used, I immediately thought about “Fire [Layer Only]” LMFAO SO I knew you were a fellow Hitfilm connoisseur (?)
    And I mainly can 100% relate to your stockholm syndrome feelings lmfao I’ve been on Hitfilm since like 2015 when it was on “version 13” and it suffered from certain blunders, like there was a time when they updated express and old plugins did not move from the old version, which got the devs a lot of flak. But the artlist takeover is the most unintelligible decision ever, they betrayed every single promise they made (Like keeping their community focused approach) and it’s all so frustrating because the program isn’t bad in itself, but it’s severely lagging behind everyone else when it wasn’t always like that. Idk, I’ll keep using the software because I’m a sadistic person and honestly I have developed a comfortable workflow around it, but the little quirks you mention in this video make it a hard choice sometimes, they’re slowly bleeding the brand and the community which is long gone, unfortunately.

    Interesting, I got Hitfilm in a Humble Bundle which came with a year of updates, but I didn't renew my license after that so I'm able to use that version forever. That means I'm stuck on version 16, which I've never had an issue with! Albeit, I don't really make videos and I'm not an editor so maybe there are issues here and there but for what I need it for, v16 is excellent! It sucks that the new versions have been ruined so badly

    • @yellowmarshmellowgang
      @yellowmarshmellowgang Před rokem

      You can make any youtube video in any editor as long as you're not doing anything too crazy, it just depends the efficiency for you. I can tell you premiere pro is definitely not the most efficient (from my experience i just hate that software it kept crashing on me and lagging) 😭 but considering your work constraints its probably more efficient than switching between 2 different editors
      Edit: i clicked on your 2nd to last video, you definitely good in premiere. If you start doing anything truly wild advanced vfx or animation, then look into learning another program. But the ceiling for premiere pro is lightyears above what you're doing rn, you'll be alright 🤝

      I mained vegas for 10 years, brother please trust me. It's life changing migrating to a functional home
      I migrated to davinci, it is truly god's gift to our green earth compared to vegas. I highly recommend making the switch, it's a lot easier than it seems as long as you got a little perseverance. Took me about a week to get relatively fluent, and faster than i ever was in vegas
      Our time on this planet is our greatest blessing, and our time is ever too short to still be using vegas 😂 🙏

    i use capcut because the lack of complex editing tools means i have to use my creativity more and helps give my videos (in my opinion) a slightly different feel to premiere or davinci kinda like how a low budget movie can be more enjoyable than one with a really high budget(also my ape brain likes the simple layout)
