When an editor has to wait for technology, creativity suffers. That doesn’t happen with EDIUS Pro 9. EDIUS Pro 9 means more formats and more resolutions in real time for the ability to Edit Anything, Fast. EDIUS Pro 9 is the perfect finishing tool for professional productions, including documentary and 4K and HDR theatrical productions.
With more creative options and real-time, no-render editing of all popular SD, HD and even 4K and HDR formats, EDIUS Pro 9 is THE most versatile and fastest nonlinear editing software available.
EDIUS Pro 9 from Grass Valley gives you real-time editing of multiple formats and frame rates all on the same timeline. That means you can edit faster… and make the time to be more creative.
More Formats, Better Workflows
EDIUS Pro 9 includes native support for all commonly used file formats, including Sony XDCAM, Panasonic P2, Canon XF and EOS movie and RED 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 9 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, Canon XF-AVC and various Log/RAW files. With EDIUS Pro 9, you’ll always be able to edit, whatever format comes your way.
You buy it, you keep it – a secure investment
When purchasing EDIUS Pro 9 the user receives a permanent license including all 9.xx updates free of charge introducing new features during the EDIUS Pro 9 lifecycle. EDIUS Pro 9 is free from subscription fees and time-limitations. Your investment is secure because you may work with EDIUS Pro 9 as long as you wish with no further charges even after the introduction of a new EDIUS-version (major release) in the future.
EDIUS Pro 9 allows to be installed onto two PCs, like a desktop-PC and a notebook. This way you may continue editing an ongoing project while travelling. In case your notebook is not well suited for rather demanding material (like 4K/multicam/multiple layers) you will enjoy the EDIUS Pro 9-proxy-mode for a smooth and uninterrupted editing experience.
64-bit and 4K
Built from scratch as a native 64-bit-solution for Windows 7, 8 and 10 EDIUS Pro 9 utilizes all of the advantages of today’s advanced 64-bit-operating systems. This includes the usage of up to 512 GB of system RAM for an optimal throughput of data, which is essential when using multiple layers, editing 3D and working with multicam-projects.
EDIUS Pro 9 is optimized for Intel Quick Sync like no other NLE. Not only does Quick Sync speed up the encoding of H.264 exporting files up to 10 times faster. Playing back H.264-footage on the timeline has been greatly improved as well as enabling to smoothly edit 4K-material even with a less then optimized office PC.
Quick Sync is a hardware implemented GPU-feature offered by many of Intel’s current Core i7, Core i5 and even Core i3 processors. Versions i7-4790K and i7-6700k are highly recommended for desktop-PCs as well as the i7-4810QM and i7-6820HQ for notebooks.
From version EDIUS Pro 8.10 the performance of ProRes and DNxHD footage on the timeline has been speeded up by 250 %.
Best in class editing of different formats on one timeline
Like no other NLE EDIUS Pro 9 is capable of a real-time-editing, real-time up- and down-scaling, framerate- and format-conversion allowing mixing all kinds of different formats and footage on one timeline. If you work in HD then simply move any 4/3-SD-file onto the timeline, just mix NTSC- and PAL-footage, add some 4K-shots and footage with different framerates. EDIUS Pro 9 takes care of any needed real-time conversion with no time wasted on manual transcoding or rendering queues.
EDIUS Pro 9 supports resolutions from 24×24 pixel up to 4Kx2K (4096×2048), all on one timeline, even nested in sequences, including alpha-channel (transparency) and all in real-time.
Multiplatform export
Exporting files into any desired format is just as comfortable. Resolution and framerates can be adjusted to your individual needs. Plenty containers like AVI, QuickTime and Windows Media as well as different codecs are available. This includes high-end formats for a typical professional environment as well as formats best suited for consumer use.
New: Mync
As of version 8.32 EDIUS comes with the content management tool Mync Standard. This tool was previously called GV Browser and has now been extended with a number of powerful features. As a personal file manager it allows you to sort and manage all kinds of footage, audio-clips and stills, add attributes and keywords and edit storyboards. The sorted files will automatically be shown within the EDIUS source browser for a fast and easy access. Mync can also export stills and put clips online by uploading them to channels like YouTube and Vimeo or FTP-servers.
Mync is intelligent: After attaching an usb-drive or memory-card to your PC all supported formats will automatically be detected and shown within the bin-window.
