More Formats, Better Workflows
EDIUS Pro 8 includes native support for all commonly used file formats, including Sony XDCAM, Panasonic P2 and Canon XF and EOS movie formats. For post-production work you can use Grass Valley's high-performance intermediate 10-bit codec, HQX and there is an option available to add the Avid DNxHD codec (included as standard in the Workgroup version). Where EDIUS Pro 8 really shines, however, is with its fast and comprehensive implementation of newer file formats, for example Sony XAVC (Intra/ Long GOP)/XAVC S, Panasonic AVC-Ultra and Canon XF-AVC. With EDIUS Pro 8, you'll always be able to edit, whatever format comes your way.

You Buy It, You Keep It - No Subscription Fees
Unlike other NLE software providers, Grass Valley believes that you should own what you pay for. With EDIUS Pro 8, there are no ongoing subscription fees. When you purchase EDIUS Pro 8, you get a permanent license with free updates throughout the life of EDIUS Pro 8.x.

Plus, you can install EDIUS Pro 8 on two machines, so you can have it with you on your laptop (using proxy mode on a less powerful notebook, if needed), as well on a more powerful desktop machine. That way, you can take your edit suite on location with you.

64-bit & 4K
Designed as a native 64-bit application for Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 10, EDIUS Pro 8 takes full advantage of up to 512 GB system memory (for Windows 8/8.1/10 Enterprise and Pro) or up to 192 GB (for Windows 7 Ultimate, Enterprise and Professional) for super-intensive media operations, especially layering, 3D, multicam and multitrack 4K editing.

EDIUS Pro 8 is optimized for Intel's Quick Sync Video, a feature of all current Core processors (Core i7, Core i5 and Core i3) and especially useful for video editing because it significantly accelerates MPEG-2 and H.264 encoding. EDIUS Pro 8 has been further enhanced to use Intel Quick Sync Video for H.264 decoding to give you super-smooth H.264 playback, including 4K.
