For those familiar with the previous products, Hollywood FX Pro is equivalent to the top-of-the-range Platinum, which leads us to the other notable change - pricing. Hollywood FX Platinum and Gold cost in excess of £1,000, yet Pro is just £299 - a far more sensible sum and in better keeping with other plug-ins. So, is it worth the money, even at its new low cost?
Conclusion
Hollywood FX Pro is a powerful effects plug-in. Once the more elaborate customisation capabilities via imported 3D objects and plug-ins have been mastered, the options are endless. Not everyone needs or wants the flashy effects it offers, but for those who do, and especially at the new low price, Hollywood FX Pro is an essential addition to the editing toolkit.
