Grass Valley EDIUS Pro

About this release

EDIUS built its reputation in newsrooms and event production, where the edit has to be finished before a deadline that does not move. Its defining trait is that it plays almost anything on the timeline at once, in any resolution, frame rate and codec, mixed together, without conversion or proxy generation first. Material arrives from four different cameras and cuts immediately.

The timeline itself is conventional but unusually quick to drive. Trimming, ripple, roll, slip and slide all have keyboard bindings that experienced editors lean on hard, and the program is designed around the assumption that the mouse slows you down. On a machine with modest specification it stays responsive where heavier applications begin to stutter.

Format coverage is broad and includes the broadcast codecs that consumer oriented editors ignore, alongside camera formats and high resolution material. Timeline resolution is independent of source resolution, so mixed material scales sensibly, and there is proper support for interlaced workflows that still exist in broadcast delivery.

Finishing tools cover primary and secondary colour correction with scopes, a title tool that produces broadcast legal graphics, multi camera editing with a switchable angle view, chroma keying and audio mixing with loudness metering. Export writes the delivery formats a station expects, and hardware accelerated encoding keeps the final render inside the deadline.

What it does

Mixed format timeline

Different resolutions, frame rates and codecs cut together with no conversion step.

Keyboard driven trimming

Multi camera editing

Switchable angle view for events shot with several bodies.

Colour correction with scopes

Primary and secondary grading with waveform and vectorscope readouts.

Broadcast titling

Title tool producing legal graphics with safe area handling.
