Green screen compositing

3D compositing

Fine tuning

A range of keying tools, including spill removal, light wrap and color correction, help you make high quality composites.

Temporal effects

Exclusive time displacement and channel shift effects join the speed ramping, motion trails and other time-based effects.

Masks

HitFilm's masking tools are great for creating sophisticated interaction between layers, tidying up the edges of your green screen studio or removing unwanted parts of an image or video.

Depth of field & motion blur

HitFilm's 3D cameras work realistically, with optional depth of field automatically blurring layers based on their relative distance from the lens. Turn on automatic motion blur for more realistic movement of your 2D and 3D layers.

Light & shadow

HitFilm's 3D lighting lets you create entirely virtual scenes or match the lighting from a live action shot by mixing different lights together, just as you would on a real set.
