Last Updated: March 19, 2026

Important Notice: HitFilm Express is an independently operated, fan-made informational resource. We are NOT affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially associated with FXhome Ltd., Artlist, or any other software developer or company mentioned on this website. HitFilm Express software was developed by FXhome Ltd. and later acquired by Artlist. All product names, logos, and trademarks belong to their respective owners.

Website Disclaimer

hitfilmexpress.org is a fan-created informational website built to help users learn about HitFilm Express, a video editing and visual effects application originally developed by FXhome Ltd. This website exists purely to provide helpful information, download guidance, and educational content about the software.

We do not represent ourselves as the official source for HitFilm Express. All product names, brand names, logos, and trademarks referenced on this website are the property of their respective owners. Any use of these names is strictly for identification and informational purposes and does not imply endorsement or sponsorship of any kind.

Since FXhome shut down its website in January 2025 following the Artlist acquisition, there is no longer an official online presence for HitFilm Express. This site aims to fill that gap by preserving useful information about the software for people who still rely on it.

No Affiliation or Association

hitfilmexpress.org is independently operated. We are not the official website for HitFilm Express, FXhome, or Artlist.

  • We do not represent, speak for, or act on behalf of FXhome Ltd. or Artlist
  • We have no partnership, sponsorship, or business relationship with any software company featured here
  • Information on this site is gathered from publicly available sources including archived documentation, community forums, and user guides
  • For official inquiries about FXhome products, contact Artlist directly through their website

Download & File Hosting Disclaimer

We do not host HitFilm Express installation files on our own servers. All download links on this website point to third-party sources where the software is available, such as:

  • Archived copies on trusted software directories (FileHippo, Softonic, lo4d)
  • Community-maintained mirrors
  • Other legitimate distribution channels

Because FXhome’s official servers are no longer operational, original download links no longer work. The third-party sources we reference existed before the shutdown and maintained their own copies of the installer files.

We make no modifications, alterations, or repackaging of any software files. We cannot guarantee the continued availability or integrity of files hosted on external platforms. Always verify any downloaded file using antivirus software before installation.

Specifically:

  • Software versions, features, and system requirements described here may not reflect the latest state of the software
  • Since HitFilm Express is discontinued, no further updates or patches will be released
