RIP Hit Film

Been so busy I didn't realize FXHome Hit Film was bought out and then killed off recently I tried to buy more perpetual licenses a year or so ago only discover they went rental only like wretched Adobe and so many others now.
This is unfortunate because I liked HitFilm and the many useful tools they provided years ago.
 
Sorry to hear that. Looks like Artlist really did a number on it before killing it off.

There’s always Davinci Resolve.
 
I hate it when something you liked suddenly gets shafted. Happens too often. For twenty years I used Drawplus from Serif - it got better and better and I went from version to version. Then bang - they just dumped it. I found a Californian firm called Serious Magic, I did the same - great products and first kind of artifical envronments and an excellent keyer. Plus a couple of other useful apps. Adobe bought them, pinched the keyer and stuck it into Premiere. After a year, the authorisation server was shut. Even my audio apps have suffered similar fates. Even Steinberg have just moved to a single authentication system, which has actually worked fine - but I now have loads of plugins and VSTis that I now can't find the various authorisation codes for and stuff like that. So annoying.
 
I hear what you're saying, but sometimes it can be a good kick in the pants to take a step back and look at the newer (and better) alternatives. When Apple released FCPX I held onto FCP6 (or was it FCP7 ??)) for about a year before I jumped to Premiere, and then I wish I'd done it a lot earlier. Far superior in almost every way. A few years ago, when I no longer needed the complexity of Dreamweaver, I moved to Adobe Muse and loved it. But then Adobe cancelled it after a few years and I had to shop around again for an alternative. A friend suggested Sparkle and it is 10x better than Muse. My point is that sometimes it isn't a bad thing to be forced to look for newer/better alternatives.
