Using HitFilm effects

If you have HitFilm Pro installed, you can use HitFilm projects in your VEGAS Pro timeline.

Adding a HitFilm project to the timeline

You can add HitFilm projects to your VEGAS Pro project in the same way you add other media files: simply add the HitFilm project (.hfp) file to your project.

For more information, see Adding media files to your project

Adding HitFilm effects to an event

1. Right-click the video event where you want to add the effects and choose Add HitFilm Effect from the shortcut menu.

   A HitFilm project (.hfp) file is created in the folder where your media file is saved using the same base name as your media file, and the event's active take is updated to use the HitFilm project file. For more information, see Using takes as alternate versions of events

   NOTE If you have multiple events selected, the event under the mouse pointer is used.

2. HitFilm Pro starts so you can edit your HitFilm effects as necessary.

   NOTE For more information about using HitFilm Pro, please refer to its documentation.

3. When you're finished editing, save your HitFilm project and close HitFilm Pro. The event's active take is updated with the edited version of your HitFilm project.
