Everything is where you need it, when you need it. Shoot with your smartphone or on a 4K professional camera. Switching between your edit and visual effects shots is as quick as changing tabs in your web browser. HitFilm 3 Pro gives you a head start, merging professional 3D compositing and over 180 effects with its editing tools.

Most of what I perceived as weaknesses in the software have been addressed.Craft your projects in a fast, non-linear editor with efficient media organization, an intuitive trimmer, easily accessible tools and unique, integrated 3D compositing.Ģ1st century filmmaking requires you to be an editor, VFX artist and colorist at the same time.

Hey, I have to be happy-I got four of five of my top wishlist items, and a few other lovely features. In your first look video you stated the new shader was great for metals-does stone very well also. )īut, yeah, that statue is this gorgeous 1.2 million poly job from Turbosquid (and free!), and that render is my first experiment with the Torrance-Cook shader. Materials actually should be dialed in last, since Material settings are always accessible. When my new beast arrives, I am backlogged on tutorial outlines going back to 2 Ultimate! I actually do intend to do a "model prep" tutorial, but my approach will be a bit different, focusing on setting up scale, animation rigs, points, mattes and lighting (layered models) then saving the whole rig as a Composite Shot (preset) before even THINKING of bringing the asset into a scene. There's a really interesting "grainy" quality to a couple of the 'verbs, and you'll love being able to hook a Doppler shifter to a 3D point and moving that around! Still have to export AVI with no video and extract the wav in another program, but Hitfilm 4 just became a viable audio design tutorial? I expect you or Axel to do the full tutorial on the new shader options, unless Valbarr beats you to it. Also, given a lot of your music is ambient, I think you'd have fun with 4's audio effects. 4 will load project files from 2 (but, once saved out of 4 you can't go back to 2), so you have the option of setting up shots in 2 that don't require the new features of 3 and 4 (2D compositing, basic 2D compositing, most other FX), then transfer to 4 for advanced models, particles and projection. Hitfilm 4 will run on your machine, but, because of the underlying changes in the render engine-unified space, the new physical shaders with all the new light reflections and refractions-there's substantially more going on "under the hood." Hitfilm 2 Ultimate will be noticeably faster on your machine than 4, but 4 Pro will still run fine on your machine. I have tried HF 2-4 on a 2011 model laptop with a 2GB Nvidia GTX 580.
