Free (*) HFX created by caring individuals for your immediate use.
These effects have been tested, are virus free and work correctly in Pinnacle Studio V9/V10/V11 as well as Adobe Première V1.5 & 2.x (**), under Windows 2000, XP or Vista. Anyone using the advice given in this website does so at their own risk. I cannot be held responsible in case of data loss or any damage to your computer (always backup your data regularly!!...).
© Thank you for not hosting these files anywhere else (or ask our agreement). All files are DV FX website property (each author gave DV FX Team the full property for hosting it exclusively).
Effects are in order by category. One effect can belong to more than one category.
To correctly use these hfz files:
- Please take a look at the Studio HFX tutorial: Lesson 1 - hfz file, what is it ?
(for Adobe Premiere, please have a look on the FAQ Adobe Premiere and HFX) - People having difficulty seeing the HFX transitions inside Pinnacle Studio should follow the advice given in the HFX tutorial - "HFX effects do not appear in Studio" and "My HFX thumbnails in Studio are black". Otherwise, an alternate solution exists, one automatic fix (after installing HFZ).
Just download it and execute it !
--> Repare-HFX-S10.bat <-- (working only for S10)
--> Repare-HFX-S11-XP.bat <-- (working only for S11 with Windows XP) - InstallHFZ.exe, a small utility developed by Pinnacle will unlock a few HFX transitions listed above (working only for Studio 10 / HFX V6 or higher) !
--> InstallHFZ.exe <--
Copy InstallHFZ.exe to folder ..\Pinnacle\HollywoodFX\6.0 (and replace the existing file. Do not double-click on this file or you will receive an error message). Then, re-install those HFZ files which are watermarked !
If an effect is listed here and you are the owner or you want to remove it from this site, or if you wish to share your own creation, please contact me.
Many thanks to Kiwi for having studied my HFX tutorial and tested my website. Kiwi, you helped me greatly in enhancing this website! Thank you for agreeing to help me with HFX !
Another special mention goes to Etienne Kinnaer & Loosecannon, they supported and helped me a lot, without them I would not have continued to publish these effects. Thank you to Loosecannon & Ekinnaer for agreeing to participate in HFX tests, enhancement, improvements, ...
(*) Some effects require HFX Plus, Pro, Mega or a 'Volume Pack' to remove the watermark (the semi-transparent Pinnacle logo which may appear). In general, if you see [HFX Basic] that indicates that the effect is fully compliant with the base version. If you see [HFX ????] it means that I do not have enough information. In case you have this information, please inform me and I will update this page.
(**) These effects have been tested with success in Pinnacle Studio 9, Pinnacle Studio 10, Pinnacle Studio 11 and Adobe Première 1.5 & 2.x (for Adobe, see the FAQ Adobe Premiere and HFX and reference message in Repaire - french message).
