I loved this tutorial. Was perfectly geared towards my learning style. I like to learn the basics from the "ground up" before starting anything new and this video did just that. Went over all the important topics and explained what each region in the editor is. Will probably return to this a few times as I get started on my video editing journey. Thank you!!

I am trying to edit videos from an android and everything works except that my viewer is always black. And when I export the video as mp4 it is also black. The audio works fine tho. Any ideas what this could be?

@squirrel5381 Жыл бұрын

When you want to set where your export finishes, is there a way to snap the white line (don't know what its called) exactly to the last frame? It's hard to do so without zooming way in on the clip until you see each frame when you drag...

This still sounds complicated. I don't know what's easier; this or Davinci Resolve. I also don't understand all of these terminologies (toggle, ripple, etc.) This is what frustrates me when I try to do any video edits. Sometimes I just want to give up trying because I'm NOT tech savvy at all.

I paid for hitfilm and never work properly for me .always was buggy and could never do a complicated project,not mentioning that the following year they released a new version which you had to pay for upgrade meanwhile DaVinci is free upgrade it might feel complicated but I wish I had found it before hitfilm.

Hi I'm having issues with Hitfilm. I have fairly long videos to edit (my rushes are 1h20m long 10,3Mo filmed on my phone) I added a source in the media tab, choosing the right format (30 frames ps) put it in the timeline. ThenIi make my first cut and then Hitfilm freezes and I get the "wait for the program to respond / shut the program" box. every.single.time I just cannot use the program. i checked and my computer specs exceed the recommended specifications.. So frustrating to have up to 3 hours of footage that I cannot use !! Thanks in advance for your help. xxx Cilou Ps : I'm French so English is not my first language, I hope I made sense.
