HitFilm Express

When it comes to producing high-quality video montages, there is a lot you can do with HitFilm Express. It comes with a wide range of useful features and it gives you a good degree of control over your projects. You can cut and combine video and audio fragments, make visual adjustments, add special effects and much more. Though it isn't addressed to amateurs, the software can be a powerful tool if you know a thing or two about video montages.

HitFilm Express is advertised as being free, but some features come at a cost and you will have to register for a free license if you don't want any further limitations. Downloading and installing the software shouldn't take more than a minute and there is no need to meet any special requirements.

At a first glance over the main user interface, you will see that HitFilm Express provides you with everything you would expect from a video production program. The interface is split into several panels, where you can import media files, compose a timeline, preview your movie and so on.

Additionally, some panels on the interface have more to offer, on separate tabs. For example, you can switch from imported media to a large list of special effects, or switch from the preview player to a layer viewer. All the tools you need to cut videos, add effects and make adjustments are conveniently placed within reach, so you won't waste too much time looking around or navigating through menus.

As previously mentioned, HitFilm Express is not intended for inexperienced users, but learning its controls shouldn't prove to be a challenge. If you take your time to get used to this program, rather than looking for something simpler, you will be able to create some high-quality content, which can include 3D effects.

Thanks to its advanced functionality, HitFilm Express is definitely worth using if you want to create high-quality content.
