While Shotcut and HitFilm (and Edius and many others) use different names and panel layouts, the idea of a place to hold media, a place to view media, and a place to arrange media in time seems to be the common paradigm. I started off this exploration of HFE by simply dragging in the same video and audio clips I used in the Shotcut demo. A minor annoyance, for sure, but an example of a different ethos and the startup screen of each program reflects that difference as well.

And while the Shotcut download is simple and unhindered, HitFilm is yours only after you announce yourself to social media. The HitFilm team led by Josh Davies offers the free HitFilm Express but are not shy about encouraging the purchase of feature packs and upgrades. Dan Dennedy, author of Shotcut and the underlying MLT Framework, is operating in the open source world and he keeps things pretty low key. If you visit the Shotcut home page then head over to the home of HitFilm I think you’ll see a big difference in approach.
I don’t expect to use much of the compositing power of HitFilm, but titling is done using the compositing tool so it’s still required learning. This might be green screen background replacement, or muzzle flashes added to a toy gun. Compositing in video refers to merging layers of different material into a single scene. I’ve only tried it on one clip, but HitFilm took my video and audio, compared the camera audio track to the external recording, and created a new merged file with the replacement audio and ready to edit.Īs I mentioned in that previous post, HitFilm is as much a compositing tool as it is an editing tool. Now I’ve spent a bit more time with the program and discovered that HitFilm Express 2017 provides the holy grail for Look At Me Play Guitar video – automatic audio sync. In my look at Shotcut I dismissed HitFilm Express after a very cursory trial.
