Keep in mind that HitFilm Pro 14 already supports OFX plug-ins meaning that you already have access to the entire Boris FX effects lineup (Continuum & Sapphire) if you have the multi-host license, plus Mocha HitFilm Pro 14 that comes standard with HitFilm Pro 14, so the availability of 3rd party effects is definitely out there, and I’m hoping that HitFilm Pro 14 keeps adding support for more and more 3rd party AE effects, as it will just keep upping the reasons for users that are frustrated with Adobe’s subscription model to switch.Ī simple to use, drag and drop interface that you can quickly drag the comps/timelines you want to export, add a default or user created preset, hit “Start Exporting”, and you’re good to go! Now, I need to mention that as of the posting of this article, only effects from Video Copilot (Optical Flares, Element 3D, Saber, Orb and Heat Distortion) and one from Red Giant (Particular) are supported, but just this alone opens a massive door for HitFilm Pro 14 and its users alike. This one was a bit mind-boggling when I first read it, and my initial thought was that it would function something like how PS filters acted in AE back in the day (WAY back in the day). For a product that is looking to take some of the market dominance of After Effects away, having a pretty appealing price point is a good way to start, but let’s see what the meat and potatoes of HitFilm Pro 14 offers. This is not a subscription model, so if you purchase now, and they release version 15 before the year is up, you can upgrade to it at no additional cost! There are bundle packages to bundle HitFilm Pro 14 with Ignite Pro (effects) and Imerge Pro (Photo Editing application), but those products I’ll look at in a different review. Now, keep in mind, the software is yours to keep.

What that gets you is HitFilm Pro 14, plus a year of updates and support.


This is normally how I start out these articles, by talking about the cost of the product, and for HitFilm Pro 14, it comes in at a reasonable price of $349 US. Now, that’s not to say there aren’t any issues with HitFilm Pro 14, as there are still a few big ones that I’ll address at the end of this article, so let’s jump right in and see what HitFilm Pro 14 has to offer us! COST I’ve referred to HitFilm Pro 14 in the past as “the little engine that could”, and this update proves that the development team are serious about pushing this product to the next level. Just when I thought they couldn’t push things to the next level, they go and release version 14 of HitFilm Pro, available for both Mac and Windows.

Well, the HitFilm Pro team has done it again.
