- EDIUS - More Formats, More Workflows
- EDIUS nonlinear editing software is designed for any broadcast and postproduction environment, especially those using newer, tapeless forms of video recording and storage.
- Ultimate File-based Workflow
- Perfect for file-based workflows, EDIUS offers real-time, multi-track, mixed-format editing, compositing, chromakeying, titling, and timeline output capabilities. In addition to the standard formats supported by the EDIUS family of NLEs, EDIUS supports P2 DVCPRO, AVC-Intra, XDCAM, Ikegami GF, and Canon's XF format and EOS movie format. It also supports capturing from tape devices such as DV and HDV.
- Exceptional Mixed Format Editing
- Featuring unrivaled real-time video transcoding technology, EDIUS converts between HD and SD resolutions, aspect ratios, and frame rates--all in real time. You can edit in HD and place 4:3 SD video, or mix NTSC and PAL sources, or combine them all into projects in other resolutions and frame rates without wasting a single moment on conversion or rendering.
- New HQX Codec for 10-bit Video Workflow
- EDIUS features the revolutionary HQX codec for 10-bit video support. Designed with scalable technology, this innovative codec offers the highest image quality and performance available in any HD editing platform with support for alpha channel. The HQX codec not only provides superior luma and chroma sampling of HD video, but features an adjustable bit rate for increased video quality when capturing and encoding on high-performance systems. By using HQX, you can also export video from other graphic software with alpha channel in 10-bit.
- New Features in EDIUS 6
- EDIUS 6 offers more than 100 new features, such as 4K, 2K, and free size project support, advanced timeline workflow improvements, 16 ISO multicam support, new source browser, free shape mask filter, track matte keyer, and AVCHD exporter, to name just a few. The editing engine has been tuned for better real-time performance, and the enhanced Proxy Mode opens up exciting possibilities for entirely new editing workflows.
- Preview Monitor
- Preview monitor now supports full-screen mode. You can also rotate the screen--very useful for creating content for digital signage projects.
- Track Patches
- New track patches allow easy mapping of source materials. You can also apply editing commands to multiple tracks.
- Metadata Handling
- Clip metadata is displayed in the bin window. You can also search for clips by metadata information.
- Trimming

Comments about Grass Valley EDIUS 6 Editing Software (Upgrade from Previous Versions):
I have been using Edius v3.5 for several years with very good results. v3.5 is rock solid and fast. I decided to upgrade to v6 because of my past experience with the 3.7 version, thinking I'd get better performance. A big mistake! Version 6 is slow and has an overly complicated interface. The manual may be of some help but its over a thousand pages long and has to be downloaded and printed out. A hard copy of the manual is not included with the package. A dongle must be plugged to use the program. Another little complication. I gave up and reinstalled my v3.5.

Comments about Grass Valley EDIUS 6 Editing Software (Upgrade from Previous Versions):
I use Edius for Web / Demo videos for my company.
It is stable and fast, and can import almost any format I can get my hands on.
Licensing is a bit of a pain with the usb key.

My company uses Edius for Broadcast Television Production. It is very quick to work with, all in real time with no rendering, and handles any format out there. We use P2HD cameras and the work flow with Edius is quick and simple.

Comments about Grass Valley EDIUS 6 Editing Software (Upgrade from Previous Versions):
Upgraded to Edius 6 from version 5. A few improvements were made including a full screen preview option, and additional export options. Over all the program loads faster and is more responsive than version 5. Both versions were very stable for me.
The program remains a strong video editing program. One of the things that unfortunately remains the same is the limited dvd/blu ray menu creation when you utilize the burn to disk option. (You are limited to predefined templates and buttons). The program also still has limited surround sound capabilities. (or if it has the capabilities it is not documented).
Bottom line the upgraded product (version 6) is better, but I would not describe it as a must have upgrade.
