I use AE AND HitFilm. I actually think HF is quite a brilliant little product. It has continually improved and in many cases is plenty powerful to do what I want to do. There are times when AE is sijmply too cumbersome. I'm a fan.

[FXhomeHitFilm]

@MaxTheCrystalSkull Thank you! Much appreciated. We've got lots of plans for the future of HitFilm. It's going to be an exciting year. :)

Why would you say this software is better than ae. I am undecided.

[FXhomeHitFilm]

@DayMarquez AE is of course a fantastic bit of software. :) An obvious advantage we have is price, and that you get a lot of stuff out of the box which you'd have to buy as extra plugins for AE. For example, to get a particle system for AE that is equivalent to HitFilm Ultimate's particle system you'd need a plugin that costs the same as the whole of HitFilm Ultimate.

But really, this always comes down to personal preference. The best thing is to try the demos of both and see what you like. :)

YOU GUYS HAVE ANY PLANS OF MAKING 3D TEXT EXTRUDE IN THIS SOFTWARE?

[FXhomeHitFilm]

@rainwet No immediate plans for extruded text, sorry!

[TheChatterFox]

This is an awesome getting started vid! This does an outstanding job of creating the perfect jumping off point to more advance projects.

If you can, you can put subtitles in Portuguese in Brazil? I think it would help many Brazilians, like me, Thanks

[MrPabloECastillo]

My previews are lagging in this program, could anybody recommend a good desktop or laptop that goes well with this program?

[KennyUNC]

@FXhomeHitFilm hahahaa so funny ofcourse After Effect better than Hitfilm AE is legend visual effect software

[HitFilmAmateur]

@Catpwnszer Don't worry that happens, its still there and when you export you'll see its there

[Catpwnszer]

I did everything right exact but when I play mine back it doesn't show up even if that frame is checked?

[Catpwnszer]

After I play back the muzzle effect after doing the key frame thing it disapeers...
