Finally someone in a tutorial with the correct voice speed!, thank you!, most of the tutorials from other people sounds like a speed talking competition.
this is the only tutorial that has made the composite side of Hitfilm Express easy enough to understand ... I have just used the same functions to make a couple of titles for a video I'm currently editing... thanks for this.
Hi Guys I was going today through how to make titles ..I found the more you repeat the video the more you discover and understand stuff ...thank good job well done the Software team..

best tutorial ever! like the way you explain it...
hitfilm i have been using you for all my edited videos and im extreamly satisfied with it i know so much thanks to axel simon and the rest of the team at hitfilm express much love from axl ;) have a good year
We're really pleased you found it useful and at a good pace. We always like to hear feedback like this because it helps us improve in future tutorials :) - Oli (HitFilm Staff)
I have editied two video's and each one is getitng easier. I have been using D4Darious' video as my guide. He does a great job explaining for the beginner to understand.
Hi Oli ... How to record my voice directly on Film Express on top of the AUdio play back music which I have on my porject ... would appreciate your help .thx
HitFilm is awesome! Off topic but I have a question for HitFilm's programmers. Posted it on the HitFilm subreddit. I think it's possible to write a script to convert a .srt subtitle file to a composite shot.
The one thing I really don't like in HitFilm is the stroking of text. The stroke only happens inside the character, instead of inside and outside or just outside. Every time I want to make text with a stroke I have to make it in Photoshop, save it as a PNG and load that in.
Hi Ali, within HitFilm we try to support as many languages and characters as possible. Please try copy+pasting your text into HitFilm after typing it out. We are doing what we can to support more languages in the future. - Oli (HitFilm staff)
Hi Oli, I have tried to type my Arabic text in Ms Word and then paste it into My Text layer ...it shows me only Arabic characters but not the words or the sentence I typed in MS word and I have tried to change the font under Text--->Character but still not successful...thanks for your prompt reply ...please if you find a way let me know..much appreciated
Why do you need it, if you don't mind me asking? Of course it isn't a lot of work for them to do, but it's certainly not a splitting issue. But yes. I see your point.
You can look at the Stars layer included in the project to see how Axel set up the starfield using only a single effect (fractal noise). but we do also have an older tutorial showing a few other ways that you can create a starfield, which work in HitFilm 4 Express: ua-cam.com/video/yRXeoKI--tM/v-deo.html
Question: I have footage of a man firing a gun, but you can't see the blast. I also have a blast .png. If I want to add the blast so it travels off the screen from his gun, How do I do that with key frames? I've been stuck on this problem for months. I get it so it travels off the screen, but I can't figure out how to add a second keyframe. HELP PLEASE.
I make skincare, beauty and organization videos, is this software apt for me? I am trying to use it but I feel its very complicated and it takes me a lot of time to edit, makes me frustated. What software would you suggest for me ?
We'd certainly recommend using HitFilm Express. What issues are you currently facing? We're always looking for feedback and suggestions of how we can make the software user-friendly enough for everyone to use. - Oli (HitFilm Staff)
Thank you, very helpful. But - I'm a total beginner... what do I have to do to finally SEE my title before the film starts? I just created the title layer and all such... but I cannot SEE it in the playing video... :-(
Very well done video! Question though: Is there a way to save composite Titles, Clips or ? to use in a different project. In Premier you can name them and save them for future use. Here you name them how about saving them for the future?
Yes, right-click your composite shot in the Media panel (it will appear in there after it has been created) and select Save As... This will save a copy of the composite shot which can then be imported into future projects :) - Oli (HitFilm Staff)
What is the simplest way to change the background color of a text box? I'm trying to make a textbox with a solid background color, and a title that stands out. It's an old, black and white photo from 1935. If I just write the title in any color, it's hard to read.
How to lengthen that animation from 5 sec to for example 20 sec? I am try to edit it but it does not work for me. The text block is longer but text disappear after 5 sec.
FYI When you import the title image you may find the image needs to be 32 bit depth. ... Was scratching my head on a 24 bit image which just became a gold rectangle
why everytime i do a composite shot it doesn't take the full frame view (for example 1080p) and it create a smaller windows, when I cannot see how the shot look like in final result? I mean: import a text made in .png, make a composite shot but it's not 1080p as my timeling, it's smaller like the text, so I cannot do the right things.
When you right-click the media and select 'Make Composite Shot' a panel appears allowing you to adjust the canvas size (video dimensions) in the composite shot, there is even a button to 'Match Timeline' to automatically set the Composite Shot to the same dimensions as the Editor timeline :) - Oli (HitFilm Staff)
Thanks for your help Axel! I have the HitFilm Pro newest version. Why am I not able to make the text bold? There is only the regular option avairlable :( I thought, HitFilm Pro includes everything? Greetings, Salina
Hi Salina, HitFilm Pro does come with all the features. If you're unable to select a Bold version of the font it may not be installed on your computer. Make sure you have all versions of the font installed and try again. If you keep seeing this same issue please do contact technical support who can look into it more: hitfilm.com/ask - Oli (HitFilm Staff)
You are correct, if you want to use Quicktime movies, you need to install Quicktime. Or, if you don't want to install Quicktime, you can convert the videos to another format that you prefer.
KATHIYAWADI HACKER this is a free software at the level of after effect and premiere pro so i guess we cant complain about supported formats however there is a paid add on called premium formats that has the following in its description " Get support for the Dolby AC3/AVCHD and MPEG-2 video formats."
btw i had an issue related to fomats, hitfilm couldnt read properly an avi video but i searched in forums and found that converting .avi to .mov solved the problem
How do you add text really fast after another? Let's say, I wanted to add a word everytime i said something in a sentence. Like if i were reading the title of the video I was making and everytime I said a word, I wanted it to pop up on screen? With hitfilm it makes it really confusing and hard to do, please help.
Within a composite shot create a text box for the first word. Set the layer length to how long you want that word to be visible. Once that layer has played create a new text layer, select the text tool and layer and type the new word. Set the timings again and repeat the process. Once you have all the layers with all the words you can fine-tune all the timings :) I hope this helps. - Oli (HitFilm Staff)
hi, I have created the composite shot now how do I import it to the film I am wokring on. I created a composite shot in the same project I want it to be in but I don't know how to place/ combine it to where I want it to be on the film. Please guide. Thank you!
Hi! you've explained about "HOW TO MAKE TITLES". I have doubts, HOW CAN I DRAW OUTER LINE TO MY TITLE. YOU JUST SHOWN BY TAKING PRE-PREPARED TITLE. CAN I ALSO ADD SOME SPECIAL EFFECTS TO MY TITLE USING HITFILM, LIKE GLOWING EFFECT. Please he;p me with these.
Is there a way to add a glowing effect that moves with something in the background I saw a video where the people used footage from the super Mario world cartoon and put a glow that followed Luigi’s finger as it moves
Hey, this is definitely possible. If I'm understanding correctly you'll need to track the object you're hoping to add the glow to, using the HitFilm tracking system. This tutorial should give you the info you need: ua-cam.com/video/UhJI2s-AXEs/v-deo.html This community-made tutorial covers the process of tracking a glow onto eyes using an old version of the software. The techniques can still be used in the current version too: ua-cam.com/video/v-WM23eGQvE/v-deo.html - Oli (HitFilm Staff)
You can convert any layer to 3D, including text layers, by clicking the Dimension icon next to the layer on the timeline, and changing it from 2d to 3D Plane. If you want to create Extruded 3D text, you can do that too, if you purchase the Starter Pack add-on for HitFilm, from our store: hitfilm.com/store/hitfilm-4-express#details-effects-starter
Could you do a tutorial on a Godzilla-type film? I know it's easy to import a Godzilla 3D model into HitFilm Pro, and get some stock effects, but I want to know how to do other things like his atomic breath.
When I adjust the scale on the first frame, then move to one further on down the line, I click on the "Scale" radial button, but instead of activating it for that frame, it removes the old one. Something I'm missing here? Super new to video editing software.
I keep having a problem where I'm making the text box big enough, but it downsizes when I release. When I make the top line bigger, all of it disappears forever, leaving me with an empty, un-editable, text box. What do I do?
Hi, please send this query to our support team. Please also provide a screen shot of the issue so that we can see what may be going wrong. hitfilm.com/questions/submit - Oli (HitFilm Staff)
I've just tested them, and they work perfectly. Are you sure you have HitFilm 4 Express? If you have an older version, make sure you download the latest, from our site: hitfilm.com/express/rebellion
The duration of the composite shot should be as long as the clip you imported into the composite shot by default. How long is the individual clip you imported into the composite shot? - Oli (HitFilm Staff)
Hi Oli. I created the composite shot first and set the duration, then imported a still picture into the shot-thinking it will stay on screen as long as the duration that I set.
If you can't get to grips with this tutorial you can find more by searching "text" or "title" on our video page: ua-cam.com/users/FXhomeHitFilmsearch?query=title There are also a number of community-made tutorials across UA-cam which may help :) - Oli (HitFilm Staff)

Thankyou for explaining the very basics of putting effects on text - have been looking for this forever!
THANK YOU very much :) this tutorial has been really usefull, I'm glad that I'm no longer trying to use paint to do animations. This is Good Stuff.
Glad you found it useful!

Good day!
Hi Oli ... How to record my voice directly on Film Express on top of the AUdio play back music which I have on my porject ... would appreciate your help .thx
HitFilm is awesome! Off topic but I have a question for HitFilm's programmers. Posted it on the HitFilm subreddit. I think it's possible to write a script to convert a .srt subtitle file to a composite shot.
Thank you for always great videos.
I have one question.
How can I write text vertically?
right when you clicked anti-aliased, the video quality of this video improved
awesome tutorial. thanks!
The one thing I really don't like in HitFilm is the stroking of text. The stroke only happens inside the character, instead of inside and outside or just outside. Every time I want to make text with a stroke I have to make it in Photoshop, save it as a PNG and load that in.
Thanks, I love learning the new thing great explanation
That's a very nice tutorial .....looking forward for a detailed tutorial on fonts
Great tutorial thank you! is there one for slide-in / out captions?
Thank you for the valuable tips! I will experiment with this further later! Great tutorial!
Thank you for watching!
thanks man, it's very helpful.
Glad to hear it!

Hi I love HitFilm Software it is wonderful, I am using HitFilm Express 4, but I am not able to type TEXT in Arabic ,,, can you help me please
Hi Ali, within HitFilm we try to support as many languages and characters as possible. Please try copy+pasting your text into HitFilm after typing it out. We are doing what we can to support more languages in the future.
- Oli (HitFilm staff)
Hi Oli, I have tried to type my Arabic text in Ms Word and then paste it into My Text layer ...it shows me only Arabic characters but not the words or the sentence I typed in MS word and I have tried to change the font under Text--->Character but still not successful...thanks for your prompt reply ...please if you find a way let me know..much appreciated
Hitfilm Express is amazing :). Is there a way to get a 3D title without having to buy the pro version?
Could you please add the possibillity of removing ALL workspaces to Hitfilm? I only work with my own work spaces and would love deleting the others!
Yeah that's kind of pointless. Just ignore the other work spaces. I'd rather the Hitfilm team focus on more relevant issues and options.
i_hate_pears_ I know there is more relevant stuff to do but I think the change I need isn't a lot of work
Why do you need it, if you don't mind me asking? Of course it isn't a lot of work for them to do, but it's certainly not a splitting issue. But yes. I see your point.
Thank you! you make it seem so easy!

Best tutorial out
Glad you like it!
- Javert
Where can you find these project files as the link in the video doesn't work
How did the box around the text get made? that part was not discussed!
can export the whole video to our pc...? can we save video on pc or it can only be uploaded...? had only question. -love from the INDIA
I would love to see something for a neon logo that flickers once in a while, that would be great for logo's.
Good shit. Thank you
How did you get no background? Mine is black
Is it possible to set transparency as a colour?
Please please please do a video about how to use the 3D camera and creating virtual sets in HitFilm 4 Express.
ua-cam.com/video/y03l30l0fbM/v-deo.html There have been a few improvements to the camera system since then, but the basics are still the same.
thanks!! great tutorial!!!

How do you get the black background behind the title ? I keep having the littles squares
Thank you, very helpful. But - I'm a total beginner... what do I have to do to finally SEE my title before the film starts? I just created the title layer and all such... but I cannot SEE it in the playing video... :-(
You'll likely need to drag the Title composite shot from the Media panel into the Editor timeline, where the edit is assembled.
- Javert
@@FXhome Thank you so much for replying. I recently found that out ❤️
Very well done video! Question though: Is there a way to save composite Titles, Clips or ? to use in a different project. In Premier you can name them and save them for future use. Here you name them how about saving them for the future?

Text boxes do not have a Fill color. You can create a new Plane and mask it out behind the text layer.
- Javert
Thank You very much Sir!!
Great stuffed thanks
Do you know any other font that looks good when using numbers?
Hey could you please make a video on making subtitle (name title)
How to lengthen that animation from 5 sec to for example 20 sec? I am try to edit it but it does not work for me. The text block is longer but text disappear after 5 sec.
Why do I not have a Finished Title tab? Seems I'm unable to do anything with what I've created.
When you say Graphic Editor, do you suggest any specific one? For editing the title/logo...
Can you create a title page with HitFilm Free? Thank you.
how did you make that box around the text. you just simply insert the logo
Can you tell us how to make the border around the words just by editing?
I'm wondering the same...
Hitfilm please reply to my last question! It bothers me soooo much and I can't figure it out. Thank you!
I can't seem to get the rebellion logo. The transparent version
FYI When you import the title image you may find the image needs to be 32 bit depth.
... Was scratching my head on a 24 bit image which just became a gold rectangle
I don't understand how to remove the border around the title, the one you draw in order to write into that.
thanks great Tutorial
We're glad you liked it!

I don't have the "Text" tab next to the Track and Controls tabs...

Hi, Did you find out? That's where I'm at too...
Could you do a tutorial on a Godzilla-type film? I know it's easy to import a Godzilla 3D model into HitFilm Pro, and get some stock effects, but I want to know how to do other things like his atomic breath.

Thanks.
The project files are invalid? Do you have an idea why? I've downloaded twice.
I've just tested them, and they work perfectly. Are you sure you have HitFilm 4 Express? If you have an older version, make sure you download the latest, from our site: hitfilm.com/express/rebellion
I am using HitFilm 4 Express, I will try again, and maybe update the software as well. Thank you!
How do you delete existing projects in HitFilm?
Wildicon19 whenever you save a project you choose in which folder it will be saved. so just locate your old ones and delete them
The text won't appear. It's invisible. What happened and how can this be fixed?
you have to increase the highlight and it will appear more clearly
Somebody could explain how to put border around the words?
No matter how I set the duration the composite shot plays for only one second. Help!
The duration of the composite shot should be as long as the clip you imported into the composite shot by default. How long is the individual clip you imported into the composite shot?
- Oli (HitFilm Staff)
Hi Oli. I created the composite shot first and set the duration, then imported a still picture into the shot-thinking it will stay on screen as long as the duration that I set.
How do I then add the composite into my timeline?
Each composite shot appears as a new piece of media in your Media panel and can be dragged from there into your timeline.
- Oli (HitFilm Staff)
ok first off is if i cant get this do you have a more simple turtial
If you can't get to grips with this tutorial you can find more by searching "text" or "title" on our video page: ua-cam.com/users/FXhomeHitFilmsearch?query=title
