Any reviews of Hitfilm Ultimate? at DVinfo.net

I'm trying really hard to make this not seem like sneaky advertising, but this thing seems to be so new there's no info around.

HitFilm.com

So these guys apparently make some sort of FX-movie-in-a-box that comes with all sorts of quite nice looking toys. It seems like sort of an NLE, sort of an After Effects kind of hybrid. I've seen a couple of shorts apparently made with it (like This one) and for the price the whole thing seems too good to be true.

I haven't given the demo a try yet. Has anyone else?

Hey, we're professionals. We only do things the hard way. :-P

Kinda looks very interesting, actually.

I bought one of their products, Effects Lab Pro, a few years ago and it worked very well. It had been for a specific project where I needed to create a lot of muzzle blasts, and it was a very intuitive and fast program. It did other things too I seem to remember, but I haven't used it in a long time though.

Looks interesting. AE takes quite a bit to master. So far i do not see any compositing stuff with complexed camera pans but comparing the price to AE i think this is pretty interesting. Will try out the demo
