I'm on a budget is this software expensive in cost? Since I'm an amateur is this a better alternative to Adobe After Effects? This software looks really interesting I want to do a lot of effects shots as well can I use this software to combine videos into a single video segment. If it is expensive can I get it cheaply I'm currently unemployed so my finances are extremely limited. In fact I would say my budget is really very limited!

@blameist I don't work with FXHome, (creators of Hitfilm) but this software is hard to use, but turns out great. Yes, it is a alternative to Adobe After Effects, and cheaper. In British Pounds, Hitfilm Standard is £100-£200, whilst Hitfilm Ultimate is £200-£400. Adobe After Effects is £500. Amazing. Anyway, I think Hitfilm is just Adobe After Effects but cheaper and more presets. Hope this helps.

@cpPaulnash After Effects is actually over £1000, not including additional plugins you'd need to buy to get some of the same effects that come with HitFilm Ultimate.

Every tutorial with this amazing software is constantly trying to convince me that this is better than after effects :)

This looks almost better than After Effects. The tutorials are clear and concise, some effects are already built in, and the narrators are British. British, I tell you!
