Grass Valley EDIUS 5.5  Exceptional Native Mixed-Format Editing

SPECIAL OFFER WHILE STOCKS LAST
EDIUS 5 Cross Grade contains Grass Valley EDIUS and none of the usual bundled software. You can still edit happily and make DVD and Blu-ray discs, but you do not have as many extra filters and effects as you would with a full version.

This is an upgrade from any other editing product.  No proof or old serial number required for installation of Edius 5 Cross Grade.

EDIUS 5.5

No other Non Linear Editing package gives you so much versatility to work with different acquisition formats combined with sheer speed of editing and reliability, thanks to its unrivalled real-time performance. Less work. More flow.

EDIUS nonlinear editing software is designed for any broadcast and postproduction environment, especially those with newer, tapeless recording and storage.

EDIUS software offers real-time, multi-track, mixed-format editing, compositing, chroma keying, titling, and timeline output capabilities. In addition to the standard DV and HDV it fully supports native AVCHD, AVCCAM, Infinity™ JPEG 2000, DVCPRO, P2, VariCam, Ikegami GigaFlash, MXF, XDCAM, XDCAM EX and XDCAM HD 4:2:2 formats.

Now with the EDIUS 5.5 release EDIUS offers better real time AVCHD performance than any other editing program, under Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7.

Real-Time Saves Time

Grass Valley EDIUS NLE software gives you more real-time SD and HD editing performance than any other NLE. Whether you are working with video filters, keyframed 3D DVEs, transitions, or titles, EDIUS will always deliver, in full resolution, at full frame rate quality.

EDIUS 5.5 performs on-the-fly conversion of frame rates, aspect ratios, and resolutions of any clip placed on the timeline that differs from the current project’s setting, and can seamlessly edit clips of different formats without transcoding them. There’s also real-time 2D and 3D GPU effects. That means no waiting for effects to be rendered.

Features include:

GPUfx – GPU Accelerated Video Transitions
With the departure of the old Xplode architecture, EDIUS now features a brand new collection of 2D and 3D video transitions for SD and HD productions. With 22 transition groups, and literally hundreds of presets out of the box, GPUfx are easy to apply, while providing complete key-frame controls over all the properties of the effects.

Best of all, GPUfx transitions make use of the power of your system's graphics card*, which will have you producing high quality 2D and 3D video transitions that require little to no rendering whatsoever! What makes the GPUfx visual effects package unique among its peers is that all computation and effect generation is done entirely in the YUV colorspace; from memory to CPU to GPU and back. Other solutions will flip between YUV and RGB when moving data between the CPU and the GPU.

* GPUfx requires a graphics card with the proper level of 3D processing capabilities (Pixel Shader Model 3.0 or higher). Unsupported graphics cards will not be able to display GPUfx transitions used within a project.

Built-in Exporter Interface
EDIUS 5.5 offers timeline output straight to Blu-ray disc or DVD with menus also to make life easier, a large number of common presets are already supplied to help you get your project exported to web, ipod and many other formats. As with previous versions, you can create your own custom presets as you go along.

Real-Time Effects, Transitions and Titles in HD and SD
EDIUS 5.5 software empowers editors with an array of real-time filters, keyers and transitions to refine and enhance video projects, without the need for rendering. The filters can be stacked and used in any combination to provide unrestricted creativity, while the transitions are fully optimized for instant playback of all 2D and 3D effects.

EDIUS software also comes with Quick Titler. As the name suggests, Quick Titler allows you to quickly create titles for projects in either HD or SD resolution, using built-in text styles, animations and artwork objects, or your own customized titles and objects.

Unsurpassed Image Quality and Performance
EDIUS 5.5 software features the revolutionary Canopus HQ codec. Designed with scalable technology, this innovative codec offers the highest image quality and performance available in any HD editing platform. The Canopus HQ codec not only provides superior luma and chroma sampling of HD video, but features an adjustable bit rate for increased video quality when capturing and encoding on high-performance systems.

Ready For HD When You Are
With EDIUS 5.5 software, you can move from SD to HD whenever you’re ready. It can edit DV content in HD resolutions, providing automatic, real-time upscale conversion from SD to HD—and apply all project titles, graphics, and effects in HD resolution. Ensuring a painless transition to the world of HD, you can work in and output HDV content to hard disks or DVD-R drives without the need for an HDV camera or deck.

Which EDIUS NLE Software Package is Right for You?
The choice of which EDIUS NLE software package is right for you depends on the features you require, and the video equipment and formats that you need to capture from, edit with and export to. EDIUS Neo 2 offers an introduction into the world of real-time editing with EDIUS software, while the full-fledged EDIUS 5.5 package expands the feature set available to you, handling an extensive range of professional formats, including support for newer, non-tape forms of video recording and storage.
