2. HitFilm Express Add-On Packs

Both HitFilm Pro and HitFilm Express are covered in this manual.

*Since this manual applies to both HitFilm Express and HitFilm Pro, all interface images in this manual will use the Dark Theme, which is available in both HitFilm Pro and HitFilm Express, rather than using the Express-only light theme. The layout of the interface and the icons are the same in both themes, only the colors are different.

HitFilm Pro

HitFilm Pro is our flagship product, and includes every feature and tool we have developed for HitFilm. Everything discussed in this manual applies to HitFilm Pro, and all features and tools discussed are immediately available in HitFilm Pro.

HitFilm Express

HitFilm Express is our free product. It includes all the features required for editing and basic compositing and effects creation, but lacks some of the more advanced features available in the Pro version.

Light Theme and Dark Theme

HitFilm Express uses a light interface by default. The Dark Theme is available as a purchase add-on, in the Starter bundle on this page: https://fxhome.com/hitfilm-express/pwyw

Add-on Packs

For users who don’t require everything included in the Pro version, but who would benefit from adding just a few of those features to their Express software, we offer a wide range of HitFilm Express Add-on packs for purchase. All effects included in Add-On Packs can be tested in the free software.

Throughout this manual, the green Express Add-On icon seen above will identify all features which can be activated in HitFilm Express by purchasing an Add-On pack.

The available add-on packs are as follows:

360° Video

3D

3rd Party Tools
