Software developer FXhome is looking to change the way that we think about creating visual effects for film and video projects, and opening up the world of blockbuster style action to all film-makers, whatever their budget. The culmination of over 10 years of developing software for the indie film market, HitFilm brings cutting edge 3D compositing, visual effects and video editing together for the first time and makes advanced compositing and effects more accessible to all users. HitFilm is the most powerful software solution at its price-point and is set to amaze users with its simplicity and range of in-built effects.

Compositing features include 3D cameras with depth of field and motion blur simulation, multiple keying filters for high quality green screen removal and extensive masking capabilities. Color filters provide essential color correction and stylish color grading tools. Realistic effects include explosions, gunfire, light flares, shockwaves, sparks and debris. HitFilm Ultimate includes a fully customizable particle simulator with sophisticated physics behaviour with deflectors and forces, procedural fire and lightning and the ability to import 3D camera tracking data.

HitFilm includes its own tightly integrated, multi-track, non-linear editor and also works alongside third party editing software, slotting into any post-production workflow. The interface is easy to use without sacrificing the power needed by advanced users. Beginners and filmmakers on a tight schedule can drop a range of 2D and 3D effects and ‘film look’ presets straight onto the timeline for instant results, while HitFilm Ultimate users can create entirely custom effects.

HitFilm is available in two versions: HitFilm Standard and HitFilm Ultimate. HitFilm Standard is aimed at beginners, students and casual filmmakers and includes extensive 3D compositing and effects. HitFilm Ultimate gives indie filmmakers and serious enthusiasts full creative control over their effects, with features that would normally cost much more than twice the price.
