  • I did! I’ve checked every folder, no luck.

    I’ve come to realize that the latest version of Hitfilm Express only works with Vegas 15 and above.

    I was able to download a version of HitFilm Express 2017, which DOES have Vegas 14 integration. Even the install package specifically has the option.

    However, I can’t seem to get that talking to Vegas either….

    Going to ping their support forums next to see what’s possible.

  • Thank you so much for the reply, Francois! I really appreciate your help. This product will be perfect for my project if I can just get it working.

    I’ve combed through every plugin folder and they’re just not there. Here’s what I’m seeing:

    (note, I do have a HitFilm folder which contains 7 old HitFilms FX I acquired long ago, and are unrelated to HitFilm Express)

    Additionally, when I click on an event on the timeline, there’s no option in the dialogue box to “Add HitFilm FX” which seems to be another way to access them, based on what I’m seeing across the web.

    So this feels to me like HitFilm and Vegas aren’t seeing each other. I also noted there was no checkbox in the HitFilm installer to tell HF to integrate with Vegas, as it sounds like that was a thing in previous iterations.

    I’ll head over to the HitFilm forums next, but if anything else comes to mind, I’ll take your advice! Thanks again.

  • Thanks so much!

    I’ve installed HitFilm and even restarted my computer, but the new effects don’t show up in Vegas.

    I’m running Vegas 14, so hopefully that’s not a compatibility issue?

  • Oh fantastic, this will definitely do the trick, and it looks like there are optional plugins that are precisely what I’m looking for.

    Downloading now but won’t get to tinker until tonight. Can it be operated within the Vegas environment?

    Or would (should?) I create VFX in a standalone application and then export them as transparent MOVs?

  • [Graham Bernard] “I don’t understand?”

    Sorry, I mis-typed. I’m usually using pan/crop motion and transition effects to achieve basic motion.

    But that’s the easy part. I’m mainly trying to achieve this “look” without using Photoshop. Animation is entirely secondary.

  • [Wayne Waag] ” I’d suggest using Photoshop.”

    Thanks Wayne, this is actually what we’re already doing, and while the results look great, the workflow is cumbersome. We are hoping to scale this up for many clients, so the idea of opening multiple photoshop/PNG files to change colors and words is less appealing than having something baked into Vegas.
