They have a student license, I suppose it's free, here's the form: https://borisfx.com/support/student-license-request/ If you're not a student, you'll have to pay for it.

<p>Whenever I put an effect on one of my clips an orange 'X' goes through the display and the render. Does anyone know how to fix this?</p>
