免費剪片軟體 HitFilm Express 被官方停更了還能用嗎

HitFilm Express 軟體圖示 HitFilm Express 16.0.10807 資料更新 2020-12-11 閱讀約 6 分鐘

想找一套免費的影片剪輯軟體,在網路上繞了一圈,看到 HitFilm Express 的介紹,號稱有專業級剪輯功能,還內建 410 種以上的特效,甚至能玩 3D 合成。下載安裝好,打開介面卻全是英文,操作起來比想像中複雜。更麻煩的是,聽說這套軟體的原廠已經停止開發,心裡難免猶豫:現在開始學一套可能不會再更新的軟體,時間投下去值得嗎?

免費剪輯軟體不是沒有,但功能往往陽春,想要多一點轉場或特效,就得另外找素材或外掛。HitFilm Express 的切入點是「剪輯加上視覺特效」一次滿足,不用在兩套軟體之間來回切換。只是它的門檻不在價錢,而在英文介面與不算平緩的學習曲線。搞清楚它到底能做什麼、限制在哪裡,再決定要不要把時間花在上面,會是比較實際的做法。

HitFilm Express 的操作介面

01HitFilm Express 這套軟體現在還能下載來用嗎?

可以。官方網站仍提供免費版本下載,安裝後不需要付費就能使用基本剪輯功能。要注意的是,原廠 Artlist 已經宣布停止 HitFilm 與 Imerge 的開發,也就是說這套軟體不會再有新版本,但既有功能還是可以正常運作。如果你不介意用一套「功能已定型」的軟體,下載使用沒有問題。

02它跟一般免費剪輯軟體比起來,特別的地方在哪?

它最大的差異是內建完整的 2D 與 3D 合成功能,以及超過 410 種特效和預設效果,包含閃電模擬、3D 文字、動態追蹤、綠幕去背等。一般免費剪輯軟體多半只提供基礎剪輯與轉場,特效要嘛很少、要嘛需要另外安裝。如果你需要的是「剪輯加特效」一次到位,這套軟體的功能深度確實少見。

03免費版到底能用哪些功能?會不會剪到一半被鎖住?

免費版提供基本的剪輯工具、無限軌道與轉場,內建 10 首歌、25 個音效和 5 個範本,可以永久免費使用,沒有時間限制。但進階功能如 8K 輸出、32-bit 色彩、3D 物件、BorisFX 外掛等,需要訂閱 Creator(每月 7.99 歐元)或 Pro(每月 12.99 歐元)方案才能解鎖。一般剪片、加字幕、套特效,免費版夠用。

04它的動態追蹤功能好用嗎?大概能做到什麼程度?

它採用光流技術的動態追蹤,可以鎖定影片中物體的移動路徑,再把文字或特效貼上去跟著跑。例如讓字幕跟著人物移動、把特效綁在特定物體上,這在免費軟體中很少見。實際操作上需要一些耐心,要手動設定追蹤點、調整參數,不是一鍵完成。但以免費工具來說,能做到這個程度已經算很進階。

05電腦配備不夠好的話,跑得動嗎?

官方說明提到它支援多核心與 GPU 加速,也有背景渲染機制,讓你在輸出時還能繼續編輯。但官方沒有給出明確的最低硬體需求,所以能不能順跑,取決於你的電腦規格。建議先安裝免費版,匯入幾段影片實際剪剪看,如果預覽會卡、操作延遲明顯,再考慮升級硬體或換其他軟體。

06英文不好的人用這套軟體會很吃力嗎?

會。這套軟體介面只有英文,沒有中文語系,操作選單、特效名稱、參數設定全部是英文。如果你對剪輯軟體的操作邏輯不熟,又要同時理解英文介面,學習曲線會比較陡。建議先看官方提供的免費教學影片,確認自己能不能接受全英文的操作環境,再決定要不要投入時間。

07新手完全沒剪過片,適合直接學這套嗎?

如果你完全沒碰過剪輯軟體,這套的起手式會比較重。它的功能很多,介面資訊量大,特效參數也複雜,新手容易迷失在選單裡。官方有提供免費教學影片和專案範本,跟著做可以學到基本流程,但需要花時間。如果你只是想快速剪一支簡單的影片,其他更直覺的免費軟體會比較友善。

08聽說這套軟體被官方停掉了,現在開始學會不會白費功夫?

官方確實已經停止開發,不會再有新版本或新功能。但軟體本身還能正常使用,你學到的剪輯與合成概念,換到其他軟體也通用。比較需要考慮的是:如果未來 Windows 系統大改版,這套軟體可能無法相容;另外,遇到問題時,官方不會再提供更新修復。如果你不介意這些風險,它仍然是一套功能完整的工具。

09跟 DaVinci Resolve 比起來,我該選哪一套?

DaVinci Resolve 的評分人數遠多於 HitFilm Express(365 人對 22 人),表示使用者的回饋樣本數較大,穩定性與社群支援相對有保障。DaVinci 以調色聞名,HitFilm 則強在特效與合成。如果你主要想學剪輯和調色,DaVinci 是比較多人走的路;如果你對特效、3D 合成特別感興趣,HitFilm 的免費方案有它的獨特價值。

10我想要有中文介面的免費剪輯軟體,這套適合嗎?

不適合。HitFilm Express 只有英文介面,沒有中文語系選項。如果你需要中文介面,可以考慮 OpenShot Video Editor,它有中文語系,操作也比較簡單,但特效和合成功能遠不如 HitFilm。取捨點在於:你願意為了特效功能接受英文介面,還是優先選擇順手的中文工具。

11這套軟體更新頻率這麼低,是不是代表有問題沒人修?

近兩年只更新過一次,加上官方已宣布停止開發,可以視為「不會再修」的狀態。目前已知的功能運作正常,但未來若遇到系統更新導致相容性問題,不會有人處理。如果你需要一套長期穩定、持續維護的軟體,這套不適合;如果你只是短期專案要用,或想免費體驗專業級特效功能,它還是可以勝任。
