Fully licenced ones would probably work fine. I have some free/starter pack plugins that came with SMS12 and SMS13 and they either just produce a blank screen, or they have a watermark as they realise they're running in the 'wrong program'. 'The plugins that come with SMS13 that appear in Hitfilm as available effects, New Blue for Sony Vegas, probably won't work. Just to keep everything in one place, here are some extra notes I wrote in another thread. This requires a knowledge of being able to dig around a little in Windows, so of any of this is confusing to you, such as finding or renaming or copying folders, then I cannot help you further and you should find someone who is familiar with doing that to help you.

Remember when you update Hitfilm 3 Express in the future with later versions, to delete the Hitfilm 2 Ultimate folder, make a new copy from the updated Hitfilm 3 Express folder and rename Hitfilm3Express to HitfilmUltimate so that the updated version is also used in Sony Movie Studio. Then also open Sony Movie Studio and continue with your changes in Hitfilm and saving them to see in Sony Movie Studio. To open the project file at another time, just click on the project file to open it in Hitfilm first, don't do 'Add Hitfilm Effect' again or it will create a second one. You can keep both programs open and keep making changes in Hitfilm and saving to see them in Sony Movie Studio. Every time you save it is updated in Sony Movie Studio 13. Inside that you Make Composite File of the file in the Editor, edit it how you want to in the Composite, then save the project. Now in Sony Movie Studio 13, when you right click the mouse on a video file on the timeline you will find the option to Add Hitfilm Effect, which will open that file in Hitfilm 3 Express. Go into the folder and rename the Hitfilm3Express program file to HitfilmUltimate

Next to that folder you should find the Hitfilm 3 Express folder.Ĭopy the whole folder to make Hitfilm 3 Express - copy

On your computer go to C:/Program files/FXHome/Hitfilm 2 Ultimate When you install that you'll have the demo version of Hitfilm 2 Ultimate, which will have integrated itself into Sony Movie Studio 13 when it installs.
