HitFilm and VP12 integration bugs

Tech Diver wrote on 12/29/2012, 4:42 PM

A few days I purchased HitFilm 2 Utimate and encountered the following three errors:

1. When applying HitFilm to a still image, a red box appears whithin HitFilm that states "Offline Material" and image cannot be accessed in the application.

2. When applying HitFilm to an empty video event Vegas Pro crashes immediately.

3. HitFilm cannot be applied to any Vegas generated media. This is really a limitation rather than a bug.

The above-mentioned problems happen consistenly every time I go through those steps. Note, I have Vegas Pro 12 build 394.

Could others please confirm that you see this as well?

Thanks,
Peter

I might of gotten hitfilm to open an image file once but it hasn't worked again. It doesn't even have the option to open generated media, not even text, I really wish it worked with text. I don' think thats a bug though, the image thing seems to be.

On the HitFilm forum, they officially acknowledged that the still image import issue is a bug. I have no problems importing video clips and thus far HitFilm seems to be really solid.

Even if I had to run HilFilm in a standalone mode, it beats Partical Illusion hands down as a particle generator (and 3D no less). The ability to import 3D models is really great when I create simulations, such as for my research at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
