#HOW TO KEEP THE HITFILM PRO TRIAL FULL#

The main reason it’s separate software is because of the add-on packs to get the Pro features you need without paying full price for Pro. Express is the equivalent of the free version of Resolve.

If they did this, they’d lose a lot of business- to the point of going out of business, or not being able to support the ongoing development of HitFilm.įinally, I’d agree with - HitFilm Express is the true “Free Trial.” Arguably, the HitFilm Pro demo only exists to make sure that your computer can run it, and to be a pre-activation environment for the full version. They would suffer from the same thing early Adobe products suffered from: users abusing the free trials. People would use the trial for their shot and FXHome would never get paid. Why doesn’t HitFilm use an export time limit? Because it’s also a compositor- most VFX shots are less than a minute long. With video editors, this is usually one of two things: a watermark (like HitFilm) or an export time limit. To talk about your second point, every software trial I’ve ever seen has limitations of some sort. You almost never see the ability to go backwards and open a new project in an old version. HitFilm actually goes above and beyond with the ability to open a project from VERSION 1 or any other previous version of the software in the latest version of HitFilm. Version cross-compatibility is something that is RARE for NLEs and compositing software.
