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 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.

Best-in-Class Format Support

The design philosophy behind EDIUS is focused on being able to work immediately with the latest, cutting-edge video format technology from major video equipment manufacturers such as Panasonic, Sony, JVC, Canon, Ikegami, and of course, Grass Valley.

As the industry continues its migration from tape-based media to file-based disk media, EDIUS is always on the forefront of new formats as they emerge, including the Grass Valley Infinity™ REV PRO, SONY XDCAM, and Panasonic P2.

More Codecs – All Included As Standard

EDIUS has always been at the very forefront of codec technology. It can be used to native edit Infinity JPEG 2000, DVCPRO HD, HDV 1080i, HDV 720p, AVCHD, and AVC-Intra material. Few editing applications can boast such extensive native editing support.

EDIUS also incorporates the acclaimed Canopus® HQ intermediate codec, developed to provide editors with the same experience editing HD as they would expect with SD. This is especially useful for "heavy" codecs—such as AVCHD—which can be edited on PCs with much less CPU power than is required for native editing. EDIUS really provides the "best of both worlds."

Within EDIUS, all codecs are included as standard – MPEG-2, Infinity JPEG 2000, AVC-Intra, AVCHD. Keeping your assets native means no conversion and no loss of quality.

More Export Options

When you are ready to output your project, EDIUS makes it fast and easy. You can create a batch export list to deliver part or all of your projects in different formats. The built-in MPEG segment encoding feature allows you to encode MPEG-2 streams with the MPEG and avoid unnecessary recompression of MPEG footage. You can also use the built-in DVD encoding and authoring software to create a simple, polished product for customer review and approval.
