Hitfilm xpress now free through feb 4th

It looks like it's worth a shot. Thanks for the link!

Thanks Dub!

Also integrates with Vegas Pro, if you bought that deal. Not working on my system for whatever reason, but it installs a plugin and you can just send video off to Hitfilm to composite in effects and then work on it again in the Vegas timeline.
 
Also note it is really whiny if you don't have Quicktime installed. Runs, but whines :)

deselecting File > Options > General "Show warning if Quicktime is not installed" will stop that whine
 
and thanks

Thanks Dubdisciple.
 
Initial impression, the editing features are better than Corel VideoStudio.
 
Still waiting for the Sony Vegas to be delivered.

Just make one up. Call yourself Steve Sonar from Arizona.

After playing around with it, I have determined that although I would not trade my current editor for it, it is more than sufficient for most jobs. When it comes to compositing it is superior to any of the major video editing software programs out the box.  No, it won't replace After Effects, Nuke, Fusion, etc, but I doubt it is aimed at the professional compositor or visual fx artist.  Who it will help greatly is the hobbyist who wants to create youtube videos or even film festival quality projects on a low budget. It's 3d environment is actually superior to After Effects prior to CS6. 3d lettering in AE used to require either third party plug-in or some tricks that created a "2.5D" setup.  For those who grab this deal, they have some tutorials to get you started: http://hitfilm.com/video-tutorials

Dub, thanks for the link...not a real "noob", but I'm always interested in seeing how others do things...
many a great idea comes from that...

I'm kind of sad they jus t offered it this week.  I had a client I am tutoring pay for software that could have easily been done with this

Fortunately, i am sure the client can afford it.  i sent him link anyway in case he liked this better

Thanks!

I don't use Facebook but I run a made up account as there's a lot of music stuff that's only available via it. Mind you, I do win items in competitions so that's a big incentive to keep it going.

Thanks Dubdisciple, it looks nice! Time to go download it and give it a try.

Got the offer to upgrade to ULTIMATE for $299 (sale price) I think it was...
 

You'll be Komplete then?

Is the only chance to download it via sharing in Twitter or Facebook?? There's no direct download button.
I'd like to stay as far away from both Twitter and FB as possible. (ok. Got it solved. Pitty , that there's only 64 bit version.)
