Using HitFilm Effects
If you have HitFilm Ultimate 2.0 installed, you can use HitFilm projects in your Vegas Pro timeline.
Adding a HitFilm project to the timeline
You can add HitFilm projects to your Vegas Pro project in the same way you add other media files: simply
add the HitFilm project (.hfp) file to your project.
For more information, see "Adding media files to your project" on page 91.
Adding HitFilm effects to an event
1. Right-click the video event where you want to add the effects and choose Add HitFilm Effect from
the shortcut menu.
A HitFilm project (.hfp) file is created in the folder where your media file is saved using the same
base name as your media file, and the event's active take is updated to use the HitFilm project file.
For more information, see "Using Takes as Alternate Versions of Events" on page 171.
If you have multiple events selected, the event under the mouse pointer is used.
2. HitFilm Ultimate starts so you can edit your HitFilm effects as necessary.
For more information about using HitFilm Ultimate, please refer to its documentation.
3. When you're finished editing, save your HitFilm project and close HitFilm Ultimate. The event's
active take is updated with the edited version of your HitFilm project.

Sorting Your Media with Bins
When you're creating your masterpiece, your project is likely to get a little unwieldy—you can't express
creative genius with a handful of media files, after all.
The detailed view of the Project Media window helps you sort your media files using their attributes, but for
more control, you can create bins. Bins are folders within projects that you can use to organize your media
files.
