HitFilm Price, Features, Reviews & Ratings

What is HitFilm?

HitFilm was video editing and visual effects compositing software from FXhome that combined an editing timeline with a compositor in one application, offering over 880 effects, 3D camera tracking, a particle simulator, and support for exports up to 8K. FXhome was acquired by stock media company Artlist in 2021, and HitFilm was later shifted to a subscription model that replaced its long standing free HitFilm Express edition.

Artlist discontinued all FXhome software, including HitFilm and the image editor Imerge, effective January 15, 2025. No new licenses, subscriptions, or downloads are available, and the official FXhome website is no longer reachable. Users who already own a license can continue using their installed version, but it will not receive further updates or active product support, so pricing and plan details can no longer be verified against a live official source.

Yes, existing licensed users can continue using their installed version, but it will not receive further updates or active product support.

Reporting attributes the shutdown to a failed transition to a subscription model after Artlist's 2021 acquisition, which discontinued the popular free HitFilm Express edition and led to declining adoption.

No official FXhome successor product has been announced; former users have moved to alternatives such as DaVinci Resolve or Adobe Premiere Pro.
