I went through this process:
-*Install* 😁
-*Watch this video* 🥹
-*Read comments* 😕
-*See watermark* 😤
-*Uninstall* 😄
-*Install older version* 😌

I'll tell you what my experience is! We THE LOYAL HITFILM USERS can't upgrade to this version because all those ADD-ONS we bought through the years CAN'T BE USED !!!! What an asshole move! Shame on you FXHOME !

Hitfilm’s biggest selling point was the fact that you could use their software for free without watermarks. You could pay small fees for extra features, but basic editing could be done if you took the time to learn the software. Going the route of subscriptions completely kills that. Thankfully archived versions exist so you can redownload an old version if you want to stick with the free version with your purchases carrying over.

Biggest update is, they added watermark for free users

[Ruffmeister]

I'm incredibly dissapointed in Hitfilm with this update. I have used the software for a while now, and i often used a custom preset for my videoes when exporting, which now is locked behind a paywall.

However the custom preset is still available in the new free version, but when i exported my video with my custom preset i got an annoying watermark on the video.

This update is not good, having to pay monthly now to experience a feature the same way i experienced it in the old version for free is incredibly frustrating.

[sally_the_entertainer]

True. If you want to keep your old workflow and settings DO NOT UPDATE! I just did and I deleted the old version (HitFilm 15) just to make space for the new one thinking it would be the same. Now, the older versions of Hitfilm Express are NOT OFFERED for download so now I'm stuck. Seriously consider if you are ok with the Monthly Subscription or any other changes. In short, this sucks.

UPDATE: I emailed Hitfilm through the Support page on their website. They got back to me in a day or so and sent me the link to redownload the version I had (15)! Additionally, I also later asked about Hitfilm 16 and they sent me the download link for that as well. Hope this helps and that they can do the same. Good luck!

1) Every time I open Hitfilm, I'm accosted with "upgrade now" bullshit. But I don't open the new Hitfilm very often, because...
2) I cannot use it without it locking up and crashing my system. I can do everything, until I want to actually hit play in the editor. The timeline moves, the audio plays, but the video never advances at all, and as soon as I try to stop it or let it run past the end of the content, it dies, and wants to send a message to Microsoft, which must be really tired of the messages by now. I can step through the video. I can drag the marker through the video. But I can't actually hit play. I suppose I could learn to never hit play, but old habits are hard to break.
3) I'm still using Hitfilm Express, and being accosted there, to upgrade every time I open it. But I'm 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗬 glad I didn't delete it when I installed the new Hitfilm.

Just installed hitfilm for a small project, glad I learned about the watermark now before I put lots of energy in! Thank you for the video

[RealBaldnold]

I will not upgrade and stay with old version until i find something else

[jammerdavis]

I'm disappointed they went with a subscription model. Time to start looking elsewhere.

[Gikash]

i still use the 2019 Version. If it aint broke don't fix it . HitFilm pulled a 2013 XBox One E30 Conference on us :) :) :) i've always felt like the day would come coz it's been Too Good for long :)

[bluwuki]

I was trying to figure out why my Hitfilm express wasn't working, then I came across this disappointed as soon I saw how many watermarks they are now.
Welp, time to jump ship into Davinchi Resolve and re learn everything ig. *facepalm*

[huil]

I'm so happy I came across this! I didn't know hitfilm has revamped everything and was still using the old version. Thank you for the video 😊

[emoqueen]

I don't know why but this reminds me of the older version of hitfilm when it kind of when it looked like a little bit of Adobe Premiere the new logo isn't doing for me There is also a way to download older versions of the program the link still works however some older versions may have bugs or no longer is there I am not going to put the link because I am afraid that the team may remove it

[LAAM]

im glad i had the latest update of hitfilm express, if i need to upgrade ill just buy the perpetual license. If they remove that option and go FULL subscription i'll just go back to adobe.

[EJTech.]

I was really excited when I first saw the new update!
Let me know what you think about it? Will you be trying it out?

[Smoses_senpai]

That's a great coincidence because i've been subscribed to artlist anyways and i'm using hitfilm express. So i'll just cancel my artlist subscription and get hitfilm pro. Like that i'll have everything for the same price i've already been paying.

[Starglance]

I am more than frustrated!
I bought many plugins for much money in Hitfilm Express.
Now in Hitfilm I have to start with....
If I wanted to have the same stage, I would have to rebuy all those plugins.
What a mean rip off!

[sienglisa]

I‘ve tried to fix the watermark with the new version for many hours and i just found the comments here, I so disappointed with Hitfilm now.

[freemusicforvideogames]

I had hitfilm pro a few years back. Handy for short clips with visual effects. But trying to edit anything longer than a couple of minutes was a tale of ten crashes. I also had a slightly more modern hitfilm express where i paid for most of the add ons. I wonder what I can get with my account with this new version? I might be locked out completely.
