Grass valley will soon be making available a new, redesigned version of the EDIUS editing system.
.
EDIUS 4.5 has a complete redesigned working environment, which is the result of market research and ongoing efforts to fully integrate EDIUS with Grass Valley products.
- user profiles and transfer of project settings
If you move between EDIUS shearers frequently, you probably want to take your customized work environment and application settings with you - EDIUS 4.5 makes this possible. With the new user settings you can save and import:
- window layouts
- application settings including timeline and rendering settings
- custom settings such as GUI buttons or keyboard shortcuts
- plugin settings
User profiles (saved as .EUP files) can be created or imported at any time, and EDIUS also allows you to export or import modified project settings.
- new formats and improved functionality
EDIUS v4.5 adds support for Grass Valley Aurora® VMF files, export support for AC3 files, added import/export for AAF and GXF content. The new version also adds the ability to cut the following formats:
- Grass Valley: Infinity (JPEG 2000/MPEG/DV)*
- Panasonic: P2 (AVC-Intra/DVCPRO HD 720p)**
- Sony: HDV 1080/24p/25p/30p
- JVC: HDV 720 50p/60p
* - EDIUS workstations only
** - requires EDIUS Broadcast and aAVC-Intra add-on, available later
- batch export and segmented encoding
Exporting finished projects is faster again with EDIUS v4.5. In the new version, you can use Batch Export to sort individual projects, but you can also create multiple target formats for a single project
Segment encoding (Samrt Rendering) is completely new in EDIUS v4.5 and supports 1080i MPEG-2 content. Segment Rendering reduces the time it takes to export your projects to the same format and bitrate by encoding only the parts that have been modified.
- basic DVD authoring
In EDIUS v4.5 you can now create DVDs with interactive menus and chapters. The new "Print to DVD" function allows video encoding and with constant or variable bitrate and Dolby® Digital AC-3, PCM Wave or MPEG Layer II audio encoding
