A unique mix of video editing, visual effects and 3D compositing for filmmakers and professional motion artists. Everything you need in one product.
Everything Is Possible
HitFilm 4 Pro is the only video software that includes everything you need to create huge scale movies on an indie budget. All those times when you had to limit your ambition - that's in the past.
3D objects
Add 3D objects to your scenes - anything from helicopters and spaceships to the Empire State Building or your production company's logo. Animate objects and shoot with virtual cameras and lights, with real-time shadows, reflections and physically-based lighting producing beautifully photo-realistic results. Think about it: spaceships, helicopters, dinosaurs, entire city blocks, set extensions, your studio logo - and those are just the obvious ideas.
Lights, camera, action
It's easy to position your lights, set up your cameras and create incredible 3D environments. If you know how to light a real set, you'll know how to light a virtual one.
Freedom of movement
Animate individual parts of a 3D model directly inside Hit Film, such as a car's wheels or bring in pre-animated Alembic animations for increased fidelity.
Superior technology
3D models cast shadows, reflect other objects in the scene and have multiple material slots for adjusting lighting properties and environment maps.
Realistic rendering
Compositing 3D models into live action video is easy. Mocha is included for 3D camera solving and Hit Film simulates imperfections such as lens flaring from specular highlights, dirt on the camera lens and anamorphic streaks.
Unified 3D space
HitFilm's 3D models, particles and layers all exist in the same 3D space. That means you can easily put a green screen actor inside a cockpit or a fighter jet inside a particle cloud without needing awkward compositing tricks.

Visual effects
No other video editor is capable of creating effects on this level, from procedural muzzle flashes, lightning and fire to cloning, lights words and automatic heat distortion. There's over 200 effects in the library, all of which can be re-mixed and customized to design your own.

Get Animated
Given the right tools you can build anything. Use precise animation, advanced titling and procedural effects to design exciting motion graphics.
Titling
From advertisements to end credits, they make words matter. HitFilm 4 Pro includes the premium 3D Objects plugin from Boris FX for all your titling needs. Your titles can be customized using all of HitFilm's advanced compositing and effects tools.
Animation
You have complete control over your animations, with a powerful key frame graph editor and bezier paths. If you're working with 3D models you can animate inside HitFilm or import elaborate, pre-made Alembic sequences.
Professional, precision, easy animation
• Key frame animation
• Bezier controls for spatial interpolation
• Value graph for temporal interpolation

Particle engines
Everyone should have a world class particle engine. HitFilm 4 Pro's got two... Create weather systems, grow your own cities or summon swarms of creatures - it's all here, from grid patterns and fractally-warped, audio-influenced 3D forms to chaotic, physics-driven simulation. Particle effects are everywhere. Whether it's creating atmospheric weather, a marching army or procedural animations, you'll find a use in every project.
Two world class particle engines
• True 3D particle simulator
• Texture options: static image, animated sequence, 3D model

• Particle simulator exists in unified 3D space, enabling easy compositing with other 3D layers
• Form-based particles can be created from grid or 3D model shape
• Audio-driven animation
• Fractal warping and dispersal for organic shapes and animation
• Shatter video and image layers into bricks, shards or any other shape
