Prompt when media doesn't match timeline:

When a timeline is added to the Export queue, HitFilm will ask if you want to continue editing, or export immediately.

Confirm automatically adding 3D cameras to 2D shots:  

If a 3D layer is added to a 2D composite shot, HitFilm will ask whether you want to add a 3D camera. When this option is disabled, a camera will automatically be added when necessary, without a prompt being

displayed.

Confirm removal last camera from 3D shots: 

 Displays a notification when the last 3D camera is being removed from a composite shot, as this will also remove 3D layers from the timeline.

Show warning on launch if GPU is unsupported:

of particle based effect, including the Particle Simulator, Gunfire, and Quick 3D effects.

Cache

Caching is used to improve performance while you're using HitFilm.

RAM Preview is one form of caching, used to temporarily render a section of your timeline into

memory for real time playback. You can set the amount of your system RAM allocated to RAM

previews here. Higher values will allow more frames to be previewed.

The Low button sets it to 25% of your installed RAM.

The High button sets it to 75% of your installed RAM.

You can also manually enter any value up to 100% of your installed RAM. However, setting the

maximum above 75% could begin to negatively impact the RAM preview performance, since some

RAM is also required for the operating system and software to run.

For full details on using RAM preview, see Introducing the Viewer.

Media HitFilm automatically stores background cache files of imported media, to improve media

performance.

Database: Specifies the location of the cache database.

Cache: Specifies the location of the cache files.

Keep Unused Files: Old cache files will be automatically deleted after a specified number of

days.

Delete Cache: Removes all cache files.

HitFilm must be restarted before changes to the Cache settings will take effect.

Proxy

The proxy system enables background rendering of composite shots and media files. This enables

real time playback even of complex visual effects shots. For details see Proxying.

Media Directory: The location for storing proxy files.

Use Proxies For Export: When exporting your final render, HitFilm can use your proxies to

reduce overall rendering time.

Limit Proxy Folder Size: Specifies the maximum size of the proxy folder. Enabling this option

will add the following settings:

Maximum Size: Sets the maximum size of proxy storage, in MB.

Usage: Displays the percentage of your allocated proxy storage which is being used.

Delete All Proxies: Removes all proxies from the current proxy folder destination. Note that this

cannot be undone.

Auto save

HitFilm automatically saves your project at regular intervals, in case of power or system failure.

You can change the frequency and storage location for auto saving, or turn it off entirely.

Note that large project files can take a few second to save, so may cause momentary pauses during

auto saving.

Auto saves are stored separately to your main project file so that they do not interfere with your

master project. Auto saves are only created if the project has been changed since the last manual

save. Each auto save will create a new project file. Once you manually save your project any prior

auto saves will be cleared and the auto save frequency will begin again.

If the software does not close normally, such as during a power cut, the next time you start the

software you will be given the option to recover the most recent auto-save.
