Editing

Editor

HitFilm includes non-linear editing tools for constructing your short films, documentaries, music videos and features. The editor is perfectly integrated with the compositing features.

The editor timeline is track-based, with each track containing multiple clips (videos, image, audio or composite shots).

The basic editing workflow in HitFilm is as follows:

1.	Start a new project

2.	Import your media files

3.	Organize and assess media

4.	Trim media using the trimmer

5.	Add clips to the timeline

6.	Use the timeline tools to further refine the edit

7.	Convert clips to composite shots for complex VFX work

8.	Adjust audio levels

9.	Add transitions and effects

10.	Export the finished project

You will develop your own preferred editing workflow, if you don't already have one, as you become familiar with HitFilm.
