FXhome Reviews

A great alternative to paid software, completely free.

Pros:

Hitfilm Express looks to be software focused on motion graphics design, but it is really a powerful video editor that will allow us to make high-quality videos, this software has an attractive library of effects and animations, we will always find something useful for what we're creating, that is what makes this software worthwhile. If you're a designer who is practiced in managing the Adobe suite, using Hitfilm Express will be very easy, so if you don't want to pay a subscription every month, I recommend you to use this software.

Cons:

This being such a complete software can be inaccessible for PCs with low-specs, so if you don't have a powerful pc, I would recommend you to investigate another video editors.

HitFilm Express A Great Editing Program

Comments: As someone who uses Hitfilm all the time to edit videos for YouTube and clips for Twitter, I really enjoy using the HitFilm program. It is easy to use and for most things, you can find tutorial videos on their website on the program. They offer a free base program and you can either purchase a full version of the program or buy the add-on packs that you would need. Overall, it is a great program and I haven't found any others that come close to it. Another good thing is that there are no watermarks when you use the program.

Pros:

I like that the program is free, and you have the options to buy the addtional add-ons, therefore making the product more custom to your needs.

Cons:

Sometimes if you are moving to fast in the program the program will hang up or suddenly shut down. Sometimes It will make a copy of where you left off so you don't use all of your work, and sometimes it doesn't.

save your work! constantly crashes

Comments: at first it seemed nice to get a free version of what seemed to be a sophisticated program. but it's really a nightmare and an attempt to get you to pay for upgrades. but why would I put money into something that performs so poorly at the most basic level? nice try.

Pros:

it's free, so you get what you pay for. you get basic editing features so if you're keeping it simple this might work for you.

Cons:

it seems the purpose of the free version is to get you to pay for the upgrade and/or purchase add-ons. this version is constantly crashing and freezing so SAVE YOUR WORK. TIP: you can set it to automatically save every 5 mins but I'd suggest manually saving every 2 mins! And you will find a ridiculous lack of safeguards like sliding new video over existing EDITED video will erase the edited video instead of pushing/sliding it over. I thought this was digital editing?!

Best alternative to other expensive video editors

Comments: I was looking for a video edition software, on a range from Windows Movie Maker to Adobe Premiere. I check a lot of programs, free and paid and found this one as a winnner. I dont remember how much I paid but I remember it was a fraction of the price of Adobe Premiere, and I was abble to complete my required tasks in a day. I am very happy with that.

Pros:

After an extensive search and comparison, I found HitFilm Express to be the best option. It is not expensive and has a lot of features. I was able to edit, cut, trim audio and video, and I see a lot of optional tasks available as plugins, so I only need to pay for this optional features if needed.

Cons:

As other video editors, theres is a learning curve, but not so much difficult. Just give it a few sessions and you will be working very well.

Hitfilm Express Pros and Cons

Comments: This product was more easy to use and perfect for beginners

Pros:

The software is fairly easy to use and cheap

Cons:

In order to get more editing options, you have to upgrade

The BEST VIDEO COMPOSITING SOFTWARE that's totally FREE!

Comments: It has really given me the opportunity to understand vfx and compositing a lot better. A lot of the films I've made over the years would never have been possible without this software's amazing rotoscoping U.I and compositing features. With regards to just the editing side of things, it's not really for me. However, it has never crashed before. Even when I did a 10 minute video which used about 10 different composite shots it still rendered without a fault.

Pros:

One word: Rotoscoping. Nothing, and I mean nothing (that's free), can beat the rotoscoping tools that Hitfilm Express offers. I love the entire U.I for rotoscoping- it's simple and easy to use. Other free softwares like Davinci Resolve offer the same feature but don't come close to how easy it is to composite a vfx shot in Hitfilm Express. Another pro is its FREE vfx library. They offer almost everything- from fires to explosions to lightning. All come with endless settings to adjust them to your liking. Want your explosion to be larger? No problem. Want more smoke? Sure. Want more BOOM? You can change that too. It's hard to come by a free software with such vfx functionality like Hitfilm Express. Another pro is the tracker U.I. I find it so easy to use it when I need text to stay in one place in the shot. Just to get that professional look, you know?

Cons:

Features are a bit limited. They really want you to buy the full paid version (Hitfilm) so if you use too many vfx options or features as a whole, your video gets watermarked. The editing side of the software is also not the best out there. I find the U.I to be rather unappealing in design and functionality. Another con, and probably the biggest one for me, is the intrusive export error that I sometimes get after using it for a while. This means that I have to save, exit the software and re-enter it for it to work.

HitFilm Express is a great starting Editor

Pros:

There are a lot of help videos available to help you to get the hang of editing. This is a full function editor that allows you to do quite a lot of cool cuts and effects.

Cons:

Some of the effects are not intuitive to create and you really need to follow the tutorial or YouTube videos to make it happen. And if you are not using the editor frequently (like me) this is a little frustrating because I found I had to bookmark some videos for future reference.

Hitfilm Express - excellent

Comments: Easy to use and execute. Quick tools to allow compositing & movement. Very positive

Pros:

The sw is very powerful. It has been able to execute on every idea I've hit it up with

Cons:

There is a learning curve. However, this isn't a consumer grade editing product so the steep learning curve is to be expected.

Awesome video editing software

Pros:

Hitfilm express offers upload directly to YouTube. The features associated with visual effects are brilliant and some of them are available as a preset, which can facilitate a lot the work for beginners. In general I should also say the interface is user-friendly.

Cons:

I don’t like the social media sharing that are linked to some services the app offers, including when you choose download.

"Save money on video and voice compositing software- gate HitFilm Express!"

Comments: I enjoyed working with this free version video editing tool. The features were easy to navigate. This software gave me the confidence to go back and explore other higher video editing features.

Pros:

It was my first use of any such software and it was easy to learn from the user guide. The file transfer was straightforward and the preview window display helped me to see what I am working at. Once all voice and video files are loaded the editing process(splice, add, remove, stretch, etc) was done at ease. If I made mistakes I was able to delete and correct them without losing the original loaded files. Running the test preview before exporting gave me a general idea of the end product. I could keep editing videos and voice while exporting them.

Cons:

The exporting process crashed multiple times due to CPU overuse.

Hitfilm Express is awesome

Comments: I absolutely love Hitfilm express. I use it regularly for nearly all my short films. The masking tools are incredible and the ease of drag and drop effects is amazing.

Pros:

The interface is very easy and user friendly. The masking tools are incredible and there are a lot of drag and drop effects that are extremely useful and time saving in a lot of situations.

Cons:

There aren't enough transition effects.

Hitfilm Express

It's free to use software and it's also very easy for beginners

Review of HitFilm Express

Comments: At the beginning of the pandemic, I had to do some editing and I found HitFilm Express to be very easy to do quality editing.

Pros:

The free express version offers a lot of useful features and is quick to learn. The quality of the interface makes the software pleasant to use.

Cons:

Compared to other editing software, I had to import VOB files that were not possible to do so. I have to convert the file to be able to work with it.

Very easy to use!

Comments: Overall, I am very happy with HitFilm Express, it has all the features that I expect from a video editing software.

Pros:

I have used this software a couple of times and it's very easy to use. I can edit videos very quickly and efficiently.

Cons:

It takes some time getting used to all the different features, and sometimes the layout isn't very user-friendly.

Un très bon logiciel gratuit

Comments: J'adore utilisé se logiciel malgré tout je l'utilise pour de gros montages tels que des courts-métrages ou des longs-métrages. Il est gratuit serte mais quand je voie la qualité du logiciel je regrette de ne pas avoir verser quelques €. Mais si j'ai les moyens j'achèteraient toutes les options car elles ont l'air cool et je les trouvent intéressantes. Il est serte difficile à prendre en main mais il y a plein de tutoriel de la part des créateurs du logiciel de montage que la difficulté de la prise en main deviendra très vite un oublie. Et en cas de question ils répondent en moins de 24h (en semaine) pour ma part.
Depuis je m'en sert que pour les gros montages et pas les petits montages. J'adore travailler dessus et ce même si le mode nuit n'y est plus ou est devenu une options payante. Car le logiciel reste malgré tout bien et plaisant.

Pros:

J'aime beaucoup le fait qu'ils soit extrêmement complet je trouve. Pour un logiciel qu'on peut avoir gratuitement. Les créateurs de se logiciel ont et font un excellent boulot j'aime bien le fait que si l'on veux des options payantes on peux les achetés aux furent et à mesure. J'aime beaucoup le fait qu'on puisse faire de magnifiques montages de haute qualité digne d'un film de cinéma. Le logiciel traite le fond vert et peut le retiré ultra facilement en 2 clics. Ils proposent plein de VFX et de FX et ça c'est génial. Le fait qu'il soit accessible y compris aux jeunes youtubeur (comme moi) qui n'ont pas d'argent et ni d'entré d'argent je trouve ça cool. Et il est super stable je trouve aucun crash pour ma part.

Cons:

Il est gratuit mais est un peut difficile à prendre en main au début il ma fallu pour ma part 1 heure à comprendre quelques fonctionnement. Il y a un peut trop d'options payantes à mon goût. Dommage aussi que le mode nuit ne soit plus disponible car j'aimais bien.

Arnaque prévélément attention !

Pros:

Le logiciel est basique mais permet de faire des montages casual

Cons:

J'ai demandé des millers de fois d'arêtér de me prélevé mais rien y fait le support client est absent je vais devoir faire opposition avec ma carte. ARNAQUE à fuir !
