The software includes all the functionality of its software sibling Episode 6, such as the drag-and-drop interface, the support for 4:2:2:4, 4:2:0, and 10-bit 4:4:4:4, support for 16 audio channels, and frame rate conversion from PAL to NTSC and vice versa, with appropriate pulldown. Other shared features include closed captioning, filters, bumpers, picture-in-picture, two-pass encoding, and support for alpha channels.
On top of that, the Pro version adds several professional features, such as expanded format & codec support, surround-sound encoding (5.1 and 7.1), and, for speedier encoding, the ability to process two jobs in parallel.
This version of the software includes encode/decode support for Dolby Digital (AC3), AAC HE, AAC LC, and AMR pro audio formats.
To be eligible for this upgrade that also adds the Pro Audio option, you must already own Episode Pro 5.
