Grass Valley EDIUS Neo 3

The Grass Valley EDIUS Neo 3 offers nonlinear editing features and is suitable for those new to video editing. In addition to real-time, multi-track, mixed-format HD/SD editing, it comes with chromakeying, titling and both Blu-ray disc and DVD authoring. The software offers a seamless, real-time workflow and allows for mixing all formats on the same timeline.

Featuring the EDIUS application technology, the EDIUS Neo 3 provides native editing in AVCHD, HDV, DV, Windows Media, QuickTime and Canon EOS DSLR video. Using the Source Browser function, it automatically seeks video content from removable media. The software preserves the original image quality, without resolution or frame rate loss and allows for efficient editing.

It also provides real-time playback of 3 or more streams without requiring special hardware and can run on a laptop as well as a workstation. The Valley EDIUS Neo 3 allows for input/output of video from any hardware that is OHCI FireWire (IEEE 1394)-compatible. The software supports 1080p50/60 projects and offers real-time editing/conversion of different frame rates, such as 50/60p, 50/60i and 24p.

In addition to DV output directly from the timeline (for DV projects), it can export AVCHD files to SD cards, memory sticks and camera HDDs. The software provides segment encoding (smart rendering) export for MPEG and HDV and also supports nested timeline sequences.
