EDIUS–More Formats, More Workflows
Ultimate File-based Workflow
Exceptional Mixed Format Editing
New Free HQX Codec for 10-bit Video Workflow
New Features in EDIUS Pro 6.5

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

Perfect for file-based workflows, EDIUS offers real-time, multi-track, mixed-format editing, compositing, chromakeying, titling, and timeline output capabilities. In addition to the standard formats supported by the EDIUS family of NLEs, EDIUS supports P2 DVCPRO, AVC-Intra, AVCHD 3D, XDCAM, XDCAM EX, XDCAM EX 3D, Ikegami GF, RED, Canon's XF format, and EOS movie format. It also supports capturing from tape devices such as DV and HDV.

Featuring unrivaled real-time video transcoding technology, EDIUS converts between HD and SD resolutions, aspect ratios, and frame rates—all in real time. You can edit in HD and place 4:3 SD video, or mix NTSC and PAL sources, or combine them all into projects in other resolutions and frame rates without wasting a single moment on conversion or rendering.

EDIUS features the revolutionary HQX codec for 10-bit video support. Designed with scalable technology, this innovative codec offers the highest image quality and performance available in any HD editing platform. The HQX 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. Using HQX, you can also combine and export video with graphics using the alpha channel. In addition to the PC-based HQ/HQX codecs, a QuickTime version of Grass Valley’s HQ and 10-bit HQX codec (for Windows and Mac platforms), are also available for free download.

EDIUS Pro 6.5 offers several new workflow innovations, such as 4K, 2K, and free size project support with RED native file support, editing 3D stereoscopic video, and AVCHD exporter to name just a few. The editing engine has been tuned for better realtime performance, and the enhanced Proxy Mode opens up exciting possibilities for entirely new editing workflows. EDIUS Pro 6.5 also supports alpha channel export, making for a smarter workflow between EDIUS and compositing software.
