The EDIUS Neo 2 Nonlinear Editing Sofware from Grass Valley is a nonlinear editing application that supports real-time editing of all popular SD and HD formats, including Canopus HQ, Canopus Lossless, DV, DVCAM, HDV, AVCHD, MPEG-2, and uncompressed video. It offers a basic, entry-level range of tools and features.
This software is well suited for those who are new to video editing, yet provides powerful nonlinear editing features common to all EDIUS solutions, such as real-time, multi-track, mixed-format HD/ SD editing, chroma keying, titling, and Blu-ray Disc and DVD authoring. This version of the software can be upgraded to the full version of EDIUS at any time by purchasing a separate upgrade license.
It features real-time, video transcoding technology to perform conversions between different HD and SD resolutions, aspect ratios, and frame rates. You can edit 1080i on a 4:3 SD timeline, use NTSC together with PAL, or combine them all into a 720/24p project without wasting a single moment on conversion or rendering. EDIUS Neo 2 software also features real-time playback and DV output of all effects, keyers, transitions, and titles.
EDIUS Neo 2 software features the Canopus HQ Codec. It is designed to provide superior luma and chroma sampling of HD video, but also features an adjustable bit rate for increased video quality when capturing and encoding on high-performance systems.
