[VP17] Ignite Pro and Hitfilm integration?

AVsupport wrote on 8/8/2019, 9:49 PM

I own the (previous) Ignite Pro 3.2.8328.56741 (which integrates as OFX) and and standalone Hitfilm Pro 11.0.8319.47197 (which works as 'send to Hitfilm' context link). Both of those work fine in VP16.

Both of those have seemingly disappeared in VP17. I have tried re-installing IgnitePro, to no avail. Has anyone else seen this, or are the new versions of those required to make this work (I love Ignite Vibrance and don't want to do without..)

PS not sure what the expected 'afterFX' addon-version will deliver..and whether it's necessary for previous owners of HFP..

Anyone care to elaborate, or share some wisdom would be greatly appreciated thanks!

@AVsupport ... have a look at the following link from only days ago, but now 4 pages back:

https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/vp17-video-fx-plug-ins--116467/

... and also the FXHome forum re this issue:

https://fxhome.com/forum/discussion/50492/vegas-pro-17-hitfilmignite#latest

Hopefully, this will be resolved soon.

Thanks @Dexcon nice links, I should have looked first before posting this. Looks like a re-match from previous years. Always the same PITA. Have also submitted a support ticket with FXhome, shall post relevant info if there is any. cheers!

How is this now in VP17 build 321? Reportedly Hitfilm Movie Essentials still doesn't appear, so I'm guessing Ignite Pro 4.0 and earlier, Ignite Express, and Hitfilm Boost Pack still don't (right?). However the release notes state:

"Menu options for opening a file in FXhome HitFilm have been consolidated for more understandable presentation"

So does it still say "Send to HitFilm" and does it now work?

@NickHope

In a word, 'no'.

HF doesn't work in VP17 b321, even after re-installing HF13 via the 'repair' install option.

However, the 'Add HitFilm Effect' appears in VP16 (right-clicking the video event) and opens successfully.

The VP17 user manual states that the Add HitFilm Effect should be accessible via the menu opened by back-clicking a video event, but not so in reality.

Ignite Pro 4.1 still appears under Video FX with b321 as does BCC etc.

FXHome have just released HitFilm 13.1 which fixes the integration with VP17. The 'Add HitFilm Effect' now appears (and works) in the menu when right-clicking a video event on VP17's timeline.

What is annoying is that there were a few nice Hit Film effects that came with V13 and worked just fine in 14, 15 and 16. But not 17.

ignite 4.1 will have to see me through until i can see the new "Post'esque integration of hitfilm.. yet to be released

@AVsupport ... I'm not exactly sure what you mean by:

the new "Post'esque integration of hitfilm.. yet to be released

It would be great if you could elaborate about what you mean.

sorry @Dexcon rumor has it that FXhome is working on some Hitfilm integration that is akin what you get with Vegas Post...

Thanks @AVsupport … that is very interesting and rather intriguing. Cheers.
