HitFilm Pro 2026 v2026.2

HitFilm Pro combines a conventional non-linear editor with a node-based compositing module, which means particle sims, planar tracking and keying are available without exporting to a separate effects application. The 2026 release expands the 3D camera tracker, adds a GPU-accelerated particle engine and improves the render queue with per-shot caching.

The package includes the full effects stack that the free tier limits: Boris FX and Mocha HitFilm planar tracking, 3D models and the extended particle library. It installs offline and arrives pre-activated.
