HitFilm Express is an all-in-one video editing and visual effects solution ideal for indie filmmakers and amateurs who want to create movies at home without the need of paying for a professional editor. Designed with a stylish user interface, HitFilm Express lets users import clips and enhance them with excellent visual and sound effects.

The video editor and VFX software, which has a free version and supports both Windows and Mac, offers tutorials that help users recreate footages and effects from different Hollywood genres and themes. With HitFilm Express, users will be able to patch two scenes together to produce realistic shotgun effects, apply advanced tracking techniques to highlight blaster impact, create iconic titles; and add lighting effects and portal designs, especially for sci-fi movies.

HitFilm Express highlights one of its most advanced feature which is providing users with the ability to track the movement of moving objects in their videos. This advanced tracking feature of the software is also used in replacing the interface of gadgets or devices present in footages, wherein the new interface simulates the motion of those devices. HitFilm Express is also equipped with masking and layering tools that make the casting of a battalion of characters very simple.

By using such technique, actors in a movie are duplicated in just a few minutes. HitFilm provides support for vertical videos, creating a blurred version of the original video to use as a background so the video can seamlessly fit alternative aspect ratios. Create stunning user interfaces by layering 2D graphics directly inside a 3D model.
