The release also features a new ‘Motion Lock’ effect which allows users to track an effect on the same layer to an object in the footage (much like motion tracking can for separate layers), as well as HEVC software and hardware decoding – which is great news for those editing content filmed on their smartphone. YouTubers, content creators, and gamers will benefit from this feature most, making it easier than ever to put together a quick edit. With HitFilm 16, users can import their footage and record voiceovers (or any other audio) directly into the timeline. The new release doesn’t hold back on features for HitFilm Express users either. glTF 3D model files are now supported for users to make the most of these enhancements, and this comes with 3D model animation support too. PBR, in HitFilm, allows high-fidelity rendering of 3D models with ‘specular-glossiness’ and ‘metallic-roughness’ materials and even responds to dynamic environment maps for realistic rendering of reflections. Perhaps the most exciting update in HitFilm 16 is the updated rendering engine which now supports PBR (physically-based rendering).
