Hi guys, Simon from the HitFilm team here. Great advice from Derek, but I just wanted to clarify one point about installation, which is that you need to install HitFilm AFTER Vegas. This is because the HitFilm installer checks the computer to see if Vegas is present, and if it IS, it then installs the link.
If you want to see the integration in action, take a look at this video:

From about 1.50 it shows me working on a HitFilm project in both Vegas and HitFilm. It’s an older video from last year, so I’m using HitFilm 2 Ultimate, but the same workflow concepts apply to HitFilm 3 Pro. HF3 also has the benefit of including all of the plugins which are mentioned in that video, too.
