Too bad the TV stations and I parted ways last year. On the other hand, I'm one of the guys who's been asking for Scopes since version 2-then I got them. :-) I have given my personal breakdown twice in this thread, and didn't say to any group YOU MUST UPGRADE, but ranged from "Probably upgrade" to "probably not upgrade." :-) You're doing mostly machinima as far as I know, so most of these new features don't do much for you, although I'd think you'd appreciate the audio mixing panel, since that will make it easier to do rough cut audio. For vlogging I'd say maybe Oh, I see where you're coming from. For editing films and skits I'd say probably upgrade. :-)įor heavy 3D model and particle work or mograph I'd say definitely upgrade.

Hell, the sphere effect reacting to scene lights? That right there is going to make a huge difference for space scenes! Since 3D models don't support animated textures, I mean.Īnyway, I see where you're coming from-HFP 2017 didn't have a standout super-killer new feature like HFP3 (3D models in particle sim) or HFP4 (Manual Beziers and Auto-align layers), but the more I dig into 2017, the more I realize that it's not marketing talk when Josh called their biggest update yet. There's a whole bunch of little things like that. There's all kinds of silly things I'm finding changed by accident-Two examples: Users have asked more more types of fractal noise, and for the Sphere effect to react to lights.

I'm not 100% certain about this, but-as the Hitfilm Ignite page specifically mentions great than 4K resolution to those effects-adding 8k support tp Hitfilm means there's a very good chance that almost every single existing effect already in the program got tweaked. A lot of setup work got done that will make it easier to add in "sexy" upgrades later. Now, above I did my version of "if you do this, upgrade, if you do this, maybe not so much," But while HFP2017 doesn't have as many "sexy" new features as the HF2 to 3 or HF 3 to 4 upgrades, it's got a lot more, and probably more important features that people are giving HFP 2017 credit for.Ī lot of that new 8k support, RAM preview stuff, more efficient caching, etc involves major overhauls to the core engine. For vlogging I'd say maybe As always, that depends on what one considers new features. For heavy 3D model and particle work I'd say definitely upgrade. I can't answer the question for you, I can just point out the new features and benefits.

I probably shouldn't type this paragraph, but HFP2017 is going to upgrade the export queue where you'll be able to select layers of composite shots and automatically render each layer to its own file. The new Export Queue lets you set up several composite shots or segments of editor timeline to batch-and now you can save render presets to drag and drop! Additionally most effects now ship with several presets built in. There's a new preset management system-each effect can now store presets in a drop down. There are a ton of other tweaks like panel trees staying where you last left them when switching composite shots, new fractal noise types, sphere effect now reacts to scene lighting, etc.

If you have two monitors you'll love dual monitor support. If you get into comps with dozens of layers or effects the new filters in Controls and the Layers panels make it a lot faster to find things-I got a Hitfilm Pro 2017 beta during editing of my Ghostbusters Go! short, and just this one new feature made it SO MUCH EASIER to tune all of my multi-segment proton streams.

If you record audio external to your camera the new audio synch tools are a massive timesaver. If you work with a lot of different audio tracks, the new audio mixer is a blessing. If you do a lot of mograph and text work, Neon Path is one of your new best friends.

If you ever have to prepare footage for actual TV broadcast, Scopes are a must-and since Hitfilm renders mp4 to 16-35 levels and YouTube expects everything in 16-35 then expands to 0-255, Scopes makes it easy to tune final output for optimal YouTube playback. If you do a lot of 3D model/particle work the new Depth Matte features give you the auto occlusion of 3D unrolled but the ability to add effects directly to layers still-that's a game changer that makes a workaround technique I've used since Hitfilm 3 obsolete. In some ways in depends what you're doing. In this thread I pretty much list all the differences between 4 Express and Pro 2017, but I think I flagged everything new. You could go from 4GB to 16 or 32GB and have a lot left over for editing. Well, any system will try to take advantage of RAM, but the biggest concrete benefit is RAM preview.
