Awesome tutorial (and the intro was great!) Thanks a ton for the shoutout :D

[@HitfilmSensei]

Digital Blast Thank you!

[@PeterProduced]

Good idea with the light flares

[@HitfilmSensei]

Petesomeguy2014 Thank you!

[@DafterThings]

Another gem and love the idea of an effects 'battle' with Jamie at Film Empire. Yes to the offer of a Darth Vader voice tutorial in Hitfilm (although I do like Audacity). Just out of curiosity... Have you ever considered a 'critique' service for your subscribers on effects they have made? I see a number of artists offer something similar with suggested improvements. As much as I love Hitfilm the variables and options for each effect are sometimes overwhelming.

[@HitfilmSensei]

Thank you. Jamie at Film Empire is a pretty awesome young man, that is for sure. I would be delighted to go over the Darth Vader voice effect. It is actually surprisingly easy to do! I will put it on my list. I see the effects that everyone makes. Anyone who wants to send them to me, I will definitely look at them and offer suggestions! Regarding Hitfilm, I agree with you. There are lots and lots of very powerful options and effects, and that can be quite overwhelming for sure.

[@red_alert]

Really Clever stuff with the Flare and Zoom Blur Effects!

[@HitfilmSensei]

Nice Video!

[@HitfilmSensei]

Thank you!

[@HitfilmSensei]

Thank you!

[@ReligiousPrime]

I'd like to know how to do the voice thing too. I can do impressions, but they never sound right on playback.

[@HitfilmSensei]

I did it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIjOcnp9jsymj6s

[@alexanderfilmworks]

Yes, please... show how you did Lord Vader's voice in Hitfilm!

[@HitfilmSensei]

Aj Bouchard I will!

[@ShinyFilms]

Awesome video :)

[@HitfilmSensei]

Thank you!

[@reiring8391]

Oh yes please , audio tutorial would be nice :)

[@HitfilmSensei]

I would be delighted. It is easier than you would think!

[@reiring8391]

i guess you used pro version for audio , or did you used express ?

[@HitfilmSensei]

I started off in the Pro Version, but this effect has been done in the Express Version!

[@SeeminglyOdd]

I always thought of Vader as a tuna melt kind of guy.

[@HitfilmSensei]

I think he is... But the Emperor prefers Ham on Rye! Haha! :)

[@CGJam]

like the idea of the fx war :D so , how did you do the darth vader voice? i am new to hitfilm and havn't played with the audio tools yet!

[@HitfilmSensei]

Thank you. I have a tutorial on how I did the Darth Vader Voice on the way. It was my voice and done completely in HitFilm Express!

[@12Jerbs]

You mentioned a hologram effect is built into HitFilm Pro. Could you elaborate on how to find/use it? I have Pro, but can't see it.

[@HitfilmSensei]

It is not a single effect, but instead a preset of five different effects working together. The five effects are Chroma Key, Hue Colorize, Flicker, TV Damage, and Glow. Two of the effects are Add-on purchases... Chroma Key and TV Damage. You can find the Hologram Preset in the Effects Panel under Presets -> 2D Effects -> Hologram [Layer Only], or you can simply search for Hologram.

[@12Jerbs]

@@HitfilmSensei you are a legend. Thank you, sir!

[@HitfilmSensei]

@@12Jerbs My pleasure! :)

[@joshcalderon6695]

Hi! can you make a tutorial on how to do "walk by transition"?

[@HitfilmSensei]

I will be happy to put it on my list!

[@jackkook7349]

under transform at 4:36 position is activated as shown by its blue color but its not for me. Did I go wrong somewhere? *EDIT*I figured it out. So I forgot to A) shorten the point to where it met up with the cuts I made and B) forgot to click apply after the tracking so I'm kinda mad at myself XD*EDIT*

[@HitfilmSensei]

JackKook73 I am glad you figured it out!

[@lsindustries3685]

can i ask you how do you know vader and since when do you work for him hitfilm sensei exposed

[@HitfilmSensei]

Haha! I am just the errand boy... that's all! :)

[@EthanButler]

Look in the description: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6nYqJh_aaqCgMk

[@bbbore]

The dislikes are all from Hitfilm. And would the greenscreen effect work with a white wall if insterted the HUE and RGB Key? Havent tried it yet.

[@HitfilmSensei]

In theory, you can use any color for your key. Green is usually used because it is the easiest to remove. If you are keying out Darth Vader, an all black character, a white wall would most likely work. Good luck!

[@bbbore]

Eh... Love heart. I am doing this holographic effect right now. Can you do a tutorial on how to make the hologram be infront of characters because I want it to look like I'm watching a video in holo from the TV. Thanks

[@bbbore]

@@HitfilmSensei - Thanks

[@HitfilmSensei]

Can you give me a link to an example showing what you mean?

[@bbbore]

@@HitfilmSensei - Pretty sure it was in a movie... Will find it!

[@97BuckeyeNut]

Good tutorial, thank you. Only comment here is on your basic green screen effect. The lighting you chose is far too harsh and direct for the background you've chosen. The actual tutorial was great though.

[@HitfilmSensei]

Thanks for the feedback... It is greatly appreciated!

[@amverymoldy]

The masking part of the hologram doesn't work on me :( can anyone explain to me?

[@HitfilmSensei]

I cover how to do that at 8:49 minutes. What challenge are you having? Let me know and I will do my best to help you!

[@amverymoldy]

So you see I had everything setup. the light flare and blur for the hologram as said on the video. Then comes the step where you masked the hologram. After pointing the triangle shaped mask, nothing happens.

[@HitfilmSensei]

@@amverymoldy Make sure that you have the right Composite Shot selected while drawing the Mask. I can't tell you how many times I have put the mask on the wrong layer and then couldn't figure out why it wasn't working.

[@amverymoldy]

@@HitfilmSensei Hello I'm back. I'm still having trouble on the mask part. It works on other layers but on the layer of the hologram effect, it doesn't. Im working on a technological project which I would really love to add the hologram effect on your vid.

[@HitfilmSensei]

@@amverymoldy I am not sure why you are having troubles. You might want to contact FXhome support about it. You will need to provide information on your computer specs, the media information, and which version of HitFilm you are using. Here is the FXhome support page... fxhome.com/support. Good luck!

[@jazthemolecule]

I'm not spending 400 bucks on the Pro version until I MASTER Express. If you can do a lot with a little, how much can you do with a lot? I respect your decision to buy Pro, but I really think you should do a little more practice with the free version.

[@HitfilmSensei]

Thanks for the feedback, and I wish you all the best!

[@jazthemolecule]

No problem. I hope I didn't offend you. It was just a thought.

[@EPIXANIMATIONS]

I will challenge you, if you accept, can you do a minecraft animation.

[@HitfilmSensei]

I will think about that! :)

[@EPIXANIMATIONS]

Acualy, do and effect of getting a limb, cut off. I know your kid friendly so you don't have to add blood if you don't want to.

[@HitfilmSensei]

Thanks for the suggestion. I will put it on my list!
