Grass Valley's EDIUS Pro 7 software empowers editors with real-time workflows in all resolutions. With no rendering, editors can have a non-stop creative process leading to fast editing and a more engaging finished product. Low-resolution proxy editing enables organizations to extend the lifecycle of older desktop and laptop systems with proxy-only editing capabilities, as well as bringing editing to existing desktop PCs. This is especially beneficial in newsrooms where desktop computers may not be equipped with the latest processors or significant memory.
With more creative options and real-time, no-render editing of all popular SD and HD formats, the EDIUS 7 Software is a versatile and fast nonlinear editing software. The EDIUS 7 takes advantage of 64-bit computing technology to enable faster and more creative editing. Real-time editing of multiple formats on the same timeline, including 4K, unlimited media tracks, and real-time conversion of frame rates on the same timeline, allows editors to edit faster and be more creative.
Note:
EDIUS Pro 7 software requires that all previous versions of EDIUS software be uninstalled.

Multiplatform Delivery
- Output resolutions can be customized and then saved with a variety of file wrappers—including MXF, GXF, QuickTime, and Windows Media—for distribution to professional and consumer systems
Increased Editing Performance
- With EDIUS XRE, finished files can be created in the background, away from main editing workstations, immediately and automatically
- By moving final processing and output to a separate, dedicated workstation, editors can spend their time creating more, engaging content, instead of waiting for final file output

- Runs on Macs with Parallels Desktop 64-bit Windows 7 or Windows 8
Proxy Mode Editing
- Proxy mode allows the software to run on less expensive and older desktop and laptop computers to edit in real-time using low-resolution proxies of high-resolution media, with all of the functionality and creative tools EDIUS 7 provides
- When proxy editing is completed, an EDL (Edit Decision List) is sent to a more powerful EDIUS 7 or EDIUS XRE workstation computer for final processing and output, which is beneficial in newsrooms where desktop computers may not be equipped with the latest processors or have significant available memory
