Thanks everyone! These are great, and really help folks that are new to vfx think about new ways to use effects. Still hard to rap your head around, but it's very helpful.
You're most welcome! It's great to know that people are finding this sort of content useful :) We'll definitely be bringing out loads more in the future so stay tuned! - Oli (HitFilm Staff)
HitFilm Hi hitfilm! I've been having a problem with the disc version of hitfilm pro 2017. Whenever I put it into my 2011 mac it says it is a blank disc. And I was always also wondering if you guys will ever support dual monitor editing in the future lik premiere pro. Thanks!
Legacy Films FXHOME sells via direct download only. I'm guessing you purchased your disc from a third party seller? You might need to contact staff directly at Hitfilm.com to resolve this. But, when you get up and running, you'll be happy to know that HFP 2017 fully supports dual-monitor setups.
You guys saved me some serious cash, I no longer send out tapes to producers, only thing I wanted was videos from them, now Im set, I start Los Angeles Film School in 6 weeks, I needed the up on visual effects, since we will be using Adobe After Effects, I also intern at St. Louis Television channel 46, I record selfies in the "Green Room" on break, I'm waiting for my tax return, Hitfilm has me up to buying a green screen, or alot of green nylon, I barely see sunshine anymore, always glued to Hit Film, after internship, Im spending the big bucks with you, for Pro 2017. Keeping my black ass alive, staying inside on a cpu, thanks-DTB
My first ever hitfilm project/tutorial, installed yesterday, and it took me about 3 hours from total zero (like learning how to even use hitfilm at all) to get it right.
Very nice. The stacked zoom blurs is a wonderful approach. I think it's a better look for this effect than Light Rays or Auto Volumetrics, actually. Gives that slightly "lo-fi 70's" edge. I was looking forward to this one. Axel does not disappoint. :-)
I really needed a tutorial just like this one, I have become a great fan of vfx and I love using hitfilm 4 express and I would love it if you could make more videos on the free version if you could, but if it is took much of a hassle and you want to make more on hitfilm 4 pro then don't let this stop you even thou in shure it won't. Thanks for Hitfim 4 express
Don't worry, we will continue to bring out HitFilm Express tutorials in the future and there are plenty more which can be found on our channel already :) - Oli (HitFilm Staff)
Amazing tutorial! How do you get the screen size so it's anamorphic or letterbox. I know you have the letterbox effect but what's the size must I set my screen to while making the project if I want it to export in that shape?
Hello again...yeah I know this is a question of your older video, but I'm curious how to make a moving Halftone Line Effect in your holographic? Please let me know soonest.
fantastic tutorial once again, thank you. But one question: could it be that the wrong project file is linked here? I think the linked file is for the hologram effect in the video where the guy puts on the HUD glasses (and sees Javert)
I Know this is absolutely no report with this video but could you guys make a tutorial to do films look (especially war movies) or just say me what effects i can use ? In fact i'm working on a war cinematic but it's a machinima (a movie made on a game). But i don't kow what effects use, i'm kinda new on hitfilm, made 2 movies before thanks to yours software but it was basic, now i'm trying to do hollywood style actions movies. Some help or tips will be helpful. (Doing holograms is a way other difficulty level)
Hi, we are looking to do some more tutorials in the future covering all the effects you can use within HitFilm. It really depends what sort of effect you're trying to get. You can take a look at all the available effects which are offered in HitFilm here: hitfilm.com/reference-manuals/hitfilm-4-express#visual_effects.htm I hope this helps and gives you some ideas as to what you can do. Please feel free to contact us again at any time. - Oli (HitFilm Staff)
Thanks but i already know all theses effects...but i have a idea for hitfilm : why not do a website where some films look and titles in 3d; templates.... just have to download and it is on hitfilm ... It's just a idea for you guys cuz i know can do a website and every effects on earth in 2 minutes (if you can do an entire editing software you can for sure do a simple downloading website ?)
Maybe not the best editor ( for quick editions I use my realiable ,but not free, Magix Video) but it´s the best all in one solution which saves time (editing , VFXing and compositing in one program? Take my money :P ); I love your software and tutorials, guys ! I bought several upgrades for HF4 EX , when I can I´ll upgrade to 2017 :D
Hey, HitFilm! I'm a Pro user, and I want to export a stock footage clip I made with the article simulator. How can I do that without there being a black background? I want the video, but no added black background.Thank you!
Robin Tucker You'll need to export PNG or Open EXR sequences in RGBA color space, or Cineform (Windows, HFP 2017) in RGBA or ProRes (Mac) with the Animation codec in RGBA.
SophersSooner is close. If you've exported a movie file with a black background adding a Demult effect will make the black transparent. PNG sequence is still a better option. PNGs are lossless and maintain highest quality.
This has been done twice. Check out HitFilm Sensei and Red Alert RUclips channels. Both have great HitFilm Express tutorials. Also check out Shiny Films. I am not associated with any of them.
Can you please make a Tutorial on how to learn facetracking using Mocha, I want to track an Image of a Terminator face on my face, sry for bad English :D.
As many people in the comments have asked...WHERE ARE THE PROJECT FILES??? Please excuse the caps but I would really like to have them....*smile...Thx, and keep up the good work.
+SK Works If you've used AE before. But many people, like me haven't used it before, and they are two seperate programs, so there is no need to compare them.
Hi, we'll probably need a little more information about what issue you're having. Please submit a support ticket so myself or one of my colleagues can look into this for you. You can submit a ticket here: hitfilm.com/questions/submit

Sorry, I should have explained that a bit further. I wanted the hologram to spread out horizontally first, and then spread vertically. Unlinking the scale allows you to keyframe the scale in each direction independently. By default, with the scale linked, changing one scale automatically changes the others as well. I unlinked them so I could set different values for each scale axis. - Axel (HitFilm Staff)
please help me! I have got a project to finish in hit film express 2017. Every time i try to work with the keyframes it stops to respond for hours. what can I do. reply immediately.
Please ensure your computer meets the necessary requirements to run the software. The more effects you add, the harder your hardware has to work to replay it. The system requirements can be found here: hitfilm.com/express/specs Please contact technical support for further help: hitfilm.com/questions/submit - Oli (HitFilm Staff)
Assume you are the center of the universe. X-Axis is to your left and right. This is the red arrow in a Hitfilm Control Widget Y-Axis is your up and down. This is the Green arrow in the widget. Z-Axis is your forwards and backwards. This is the blue arrow in the widget. Hope this makes sense.

Oh man these older tutorials are so nice. They aren't speed talking. Well done!
Sorry, I couldn't help but notice you're wearing an Abney Park t-shirt! Love them!

Nice work! It sounds like you've really managed to learn the basics of the software fast!

Thanks for useful tutorial!
Gonna use this method in my future star wars fan-films :)
Brilliant! I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Thanks for letting us know- the Star Wars files had been overwritten by the HUD files, but the link has now been updated.
- Javert
@FXhome awesome, thank you for the quick reply. Time to build some holograms 😀
There needs to be more hitfilm pro tutorials
Awesome!
AWESOME
Love this but
Y is hitfilm 4 express so good at everything but only the text is not good
hitfilm thanks for the clone
Is there a way to make the effect of waterbending ????
I Know this is absolutely no report with this video but could you guys make a tutorial to do films look (especially war movies) or just say me what effects i can use ?

Could you please do a tutorial on the other Star Wars hologram effect? Like the holographic message of Leia hidden in R2-D2?
Great suggestion, we'll add this to our list.
- Oli (HitFilm Staff)
I think you would probably use the same concept as this but would have to film your actor on a green screen to get that tracparancy.
Maybe not the best editor ( for quick editions I use my realiable ,but not free, Magix Video) but it´s the best all in one solution which saves time (editing , VFXing and compositing in one program? Take my money :P ); I love your software and tutorials, guys !
I bought several upgrades for HF4 EX , when I can I´ll upgrade to 2017 :D

.

I am pretty sure you add the "subtract" effect. I might be wrong, but I am pretty sure that is the effect you want
SophersSooner is close. If you've exported a movie file with a black background adding a Demult effect will make the black transparent. PNG sequence is still a better option. PNGs are lossless and maintain highest quality.
can you do a lava or water blast effect tutorial please?
No
Any chance Chroma key will be added into HF 4?
Hey do you guys think you could make a tutorial on how to add a death star in the sky?
This has been done twice. Check out HitFilm Sensei and Red Alert RUclips channels. Both have great HitFilm Express tutorials. Also check out Shiny Films. I am not associated with any of them.
Can you please make a Tutorial on how to learn facetracking using Mocha, I want to track an Image of a Terminator face on my face, sry for bad English :D.
Another Skud tutorial !
Is there a paid add on for express version which enables us to import 3d models just like In pro version?
We don't have any add-ons which allow this functionality within HitFilm Express.
- Oli (HitFilm Staff)
Can you do a tutorial on the next hologram scene?
How would you do a hologram of a person?
How do you create your own hologram maps? Like a car or a person? In Hitfilm express
Do you have an example of the end result you're looking for? We'd be interested in taking a look :)
- Oli (FXhome staff)
As many people in the comments have asked...WHERE ARE THE PROJECT FILES??? Please excuse the caps but I would really like to have them....*smile...Thx, and keep up the good work.

Thank you Kirstie...*smile...You're such a sweetie.
where can i get transparent pics for free? or how to make one

Wut is Gregor Gysi doing at ur place?
Can you please make a Tutorial on how to use Textures of a 3D Model?
We already have several tutorials that cover textures and materials settings for 3D models. Here's one: ruclips.net/video/5Bh0_Facig4/видео.html
Oh thank you :D
So Grade Layer is equal to Adjustment Layer?? Null Object is equal to point?? comparing with legend AE, can help us learn faster!!
+SK Works If you've used AE before. But many people, like me haven't used it before, and they are two seperate programs, so there is no need to compare them.
I have installed it but it is saying .Please install the latest driver update for your graphics card and try running HitFilm again.
You should be able to update your graphics card driver from the manufacturer website :)
- Oli (HitFilm Staff)
The new option in it is not working

Good suggestion Joshua, any particular force field effect you're interested in replicating?

Hmmm. Similar to the one in Fantastic Four. 😊
Ok, I'll make a note of it! :)

Thank you so much, Oli :-)
what does un linking do when when start key framing the scale?

you probably did because you would not write to me if U didnt
i like it but not looking like Iron man.oops
Your explaination of Z & Y axi just confused me.
Assume you are the center of the universe.
X-Axis is to your left and right. This is the red arrow in a Hitfilm Control Widget
Y-Axis is your up and down. This is the Green arrow in the widget.
Z-Axis is your forwards and backwards. This is the blue arrow in the widget.
Hope this makes sense.
