Professional titles made simple

With the best titling tools in the industry, HitFilm gives unparalleled choice to any motion graphics artist. From simple captions to 3D embossed text and advanced raytracing, you can create impressive Hollywood-style graphics, professional lower thirds or develop your own unique titling style.

3D text

HitFilm Pro is the only editing product in the industry to also offer true 3D space in which to create your VFX masterpieces. Transform your title from 2D to 3D to make it pop, and add 3D geometry effects such as extrude, bevel and rotate to your text to create the exact look you want.

Lights and shadows

3D text is perfect for a bold film title, but you can also integrate text into a scene – the geometry effects in HitFilm supports lights, shadows and environment maps which make your text appear like real-world natural objects. Add glows, extrusion, emboss or any other of our 800+ visual effects directly to the text for customization to your heart’s content.

Raytracing

Give your titles some real-world feel using our Surfaced Studio effect. This powerful tool lets you generate smooth or roughly textured metallic and vitreous surfaces on any text (or layers) and have them interact with other objects in the scene. Reflect colors from your environment to turn your text into a reactive, cinematic object.

Captions in the editor

At its simplest, HitFilm Pro’s editor lets you add text to your videos quickly and easily. Use the text editor to fully customize your captions with multiple fonts, colors, alignments and sizes to choose from.
