[ANSWERED] How do I upgrade from HitFilm 4 to HitFilm 2017
I was having problems starting projects in 4k resolution. In the project tab I was limited to 1920 by 1080 or bellow. I looked around the forum here and read that I need HitFilm 2017 (version 5.x) to export 4k video. I logged in to my account and looks like I currently have version 4.0.5723.10801 installed. I followed the link (https://hitfilm.com/express) to download HitFilm 2017, but whenever I click on GET FOR FREE it just redirects me to https://hitfilm.com/express in an infinite loop of suffering.
Am I doing something wrong or do I have to do something before being able to download the latest version?
I run Windows 7 on Intel i7 6700k 4.2Ghz with GeForce GTX 1080 configured in two way SLI, all on my 4k monitor.

Keep HitFilm 4 on your PC in case you get slow sluggish results with 2017. Then wait till you upgrade your PC before using 2017.
All the best.
