[FEATURE] Add an Update Button to HitFilm Express

breakadawn76

It would be easier and more streamlined if instead of having to delete HitFilm and reinstall it via the website when a new update came out, there was a simple update button that updated the files without having to delete everything and reinstall it. You could even use the same popup you already have to update Hitfilm Express.

Thanks!

It would be nice if there could there be a feature where the software would auto update? this would allow users to not have to download it everytime there is a new update?

I was just updating to 15.1 and was thinking the same thing!

It would also make me feel less guilty if I didn't have to make the slider face cry even though I already paid. :)

@breakadawn76 yes add this for HF PRO and Express

@breakadawn76 I wonder why this wasn't implemented earlier? However, I'd think that this would be really major and the process of uninstalling and reinstalling is simpler for the dev team at FXHome but they should really consider this.

This program has been out for how long now? And in order to download every update you have to click download, go to the web browser, download it, it states you need to uninstall it and re-install it for the updates, etc. Why doesn't this have what even completely free software have, in software updates. If I click download now, it should start downloading it automatically, no going to a web browser, exiting out of hitfilm, etc. It should all be in house, and automatic. Especially for the paid version, why do I have to jump through all of these hoops just to simply update this program?

I agree. Updating without downloading would be great!

I would like automatic feature of updates or a possibilty to update when a new version come up without the need of reinstalling the software which is tedious and unnecessary in 2021.
