Vegas Effects does not open Hitfilm Express projects. Why?

Firstly, I would like Magix to create a new Forum category for Vegas Image and Vegas Effects.

I recently subscribed to Vegas Post 365 for a year. I am delighted with everything, like a child with a new toy!

I'm migrating from Vegas Pro 16 to 17, and previously I had a lot of HitFilm Express 13 projects that worked perfectly in Vegas Pro 16. I just wish I could open these .hfp projects in the new Vegas Effects. But I can not. Is there such a possibility?

Just one more thing: I really, really, really wish I could generate markers in the Vegas Effects timeline, just like I do in Vegas Pro. I'd have a lot of suggestions for improvements, but that's not the subject of this post. I'll do it later!

It apparently does not yet work with hitfilm plugins, either, but I imagine that this integration will be considered moving forward. VE is still in its infancy, and there are a lot of features that are not yet available that are planned. Hang in there, it may take a couple updates to get it, but I imagine it will come soon enough. In the mean time, keep up the requests, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Until then, this last update added some new effects to play with, such as "neon path" which can be used to do all sorts of cool text reveal effects. Check em' out!

That is natural. VE and Hitfilm are different softwares.
