Hitfilm Express - How to Keyframe (Animate) - Beginner Tutorial 

Sorry it's been a while since I've made a video! Hopefully this is a start to a slew of uploads. This tutorial should have a ton of tips and understanding even for those more experienced, but at a beginner's pace. Enjoy!

Thanks for all your great videos. Because of you I was finally able to learn video editing for my game trailers and actually feel proud of the vids I'm making now instead of cringing at my movie maker videos. Keep em coming!

Okay okay, big fan of that smooth as hell intro

I'm making my first video edit and I don't know where I would be without your tutorials!

Thanks, for the video, I appreciate your thoroughness and style of sharing.

Thanks so much for this video! I've used Hitfilm for a while and I've never known it could do this!

this is so helpful and very easy to understand! I just downloaded hitfilm today and was playing with it for a while after watching a few introductions to it. I've been playing with animations and it think I almost spent an hour trying to make a simple animation and now I'm face palming with how easier it could've been XD

does anyone else think the narrators voice is just so attractive?

top notch clarity. Thanks

Great insight on Keyframe. Just starting in video editing. bought some great graphics and intermediate on PowerPoint. Hitfilm is the 4th editor I downloaded. will be keeping it. Bought the express has a lot of videos to watch for learning.

im so fucking glas i found you now i dont have to buy a new editor as hitfilm is great and can do a lot of things for gameplays and montages really appreciate these tutorials

Love the new intro, usually there are mainly Adobe After Affects and Sony Vegas Pro tutorials, I have none of these except hitfilm, thx for helping me out bye uploading tutorials that help me a lot.

Excellent work brother! Got my blackhole spinning.

Do you know of a way in Hitfilm to auto sync keyframes to an audio track? I also wish Hitfilm had markers and a hotkey and to convert markers to keyframes. People asked for markers years ago on the forum and still nothing.

Hey, I got a small question, when I make keyframes and I wanna preview them on the screen, I don't see the animation inbetween, just the object's position in each keyframe. Do you know how I can fix it, and be able to see the animation between keyframes?

How do you unlink the two (or more) values in keyframing (for example x and y in position), so you can have one be smooth and the other one be linear?

This video was so helpful ... I mean super helpful. Thank you for making this comrade. Much appreciated.

Thanks man

Great tutorial!

I didn't know there is possible set Keyframe on editor, this helps me very much! Thank you for this tip.

Helpful as always my man!

Thank you so much... I was stuck at keyframes in Editor tab.

Thanks this was a superb session!!

You got a new sub for the nuggets in this video!

Thank you! This was straight to the point!

I really like these tutorials ❤

Very good tutorial for beginners. I missed the previous/next/add/remove keyframe button that i always use.

Excellent

This helped me a bunch, thank you so much!

Top class like always, man

So very helpful! Thank you

Can this video be shorter than a TV show episode?

Excellent! Thank you.

Please tell me how to copy a reverse keyframe for A lower third template edit

Make more tutorials!

I want to zoom in and out of the entire video (which consists of other, individually moving tracks). In Vegas I used to attain that by using the Parent/Child interface, using even a blank Parent track to receive the Child tracks. How can I do that in Hitfilm?

Thats pretty cool!

this was soo helpful, thank you fir this video 👍👌

Nice video but whats the name of the music at the beginning? sry for my english

thankss

I'm trying to track a composited image onto a computer screen. Is there any way I can easily perspective warp the image without making it 3d? Like in photoshop, how you can make it look like you're looking at an image from an angle.

For some reason I don’t have the key framing tab.

There IS a "add keyframe" button! Simply got to the frame where you want it and press the little point surrounded by a circle (between the go left and go right buttons, where all the keyframe icons are.

nice vid man!

can you do twitches and shakes (after transitions)

Good stuff. Thanks. Can you change the point around which an object rotates?

TANKS SO MUCH

is there a way to keyframe without making a composite shot?

Thanks!

So I saved my project and exited. When I opened it back up, my keyframes were missing but the clips still acted like the keyframes were there. What do I do?

Can you do a tutorial with Hitflm 4 Express showing a butterfly flapping around?

Could you please do a video on a cube transition and animating it? I made the cube but don’t know how to animate it :(

Can I use mutiple features in this technique? I mean: Can I make an object scale, rotate and move at the same time?

I have a question. I want to move the sun along an ecliptic line that I have designed using photoshop. Now I need the sun along the ecliptic. I have broken this down using days of movement. I am in Hitfilm 8. I thought I could do this using frames as my unit of measure (one frame = one day), but it goes from 24 frames to 1 second (is 1 second = 26th frame?). So is this is going to be a hard math problem for my creative side. LOl Any suggestions on keyframing on an oval with constant revolutions? Thank you. I'll keep at it. There has got to be a way.

new beginner on hit film which I just down loaded. I am trying to make a film for my daughter about my grand daughter have a bunch of photos (stills).

How were you able to select two things to bling into the keyframing panel?

Will this work on the free version of Hitfilm?

Hello Shiny Films! What is the version of this Hitfilm?

Super video Bro

Hey man I have Hitfilm Express and its limiting my exports to 30 secs though I had it activated long ago and just made videos with it a few months back. When I click activate its saying that Its having troulbe refreshing my credentials then when i try to export to youtube I cant even do that because its says some kind of error. Why would it be doing that if mine is activated? I asked Hitfilm but no answer I also sent them a message on fb and still no answer.

Nice.!

Hello

I was watching your older videos and subbed for the quality. The amount of "subscribe" logos popping across your videos now makes me want to unsubscribe again. Just keep it to the end/start screen please, it's extremely distracting to the point it removes from the video.
