With the advances in broadband technology, video is becoming more and more important as a powerful communication tool. More people are using videos to promote their products and services, to share ideas, and even create social change. Of course, you can use HitFilm to simply create videos for your family, make short films or documentaries, or even just make videos for fun.

Creating a video is more than just simply recording it with your camera. Editing and adding special effects to your videos will make them much more interesting to watch. This will greatly enhance your ability to get results you want!
