Begin your journey into the world of SD
or HD multi-format video editing with
Grass Valley’s EDIUS Neo 3 software.
Grass Valley™EDIUS®Neo 3 is a subset
of our fully featured EDIUS 6, specifically
designed for educational and institutional
users that do not need all of the features
of EDIUS 6. The basic usability and
editing operations are the same, making
it the perfect tool for simple editing and
learning about EDIUS operations.
Real-time H.264 Editing
EDIUS Neo 3 offers native editing in
various formats including AVCHD and
DSLR movie (H.264 QuickTime), and
provides a seamless real-time workflow,
supporting mixing of all formats on the
same timeline. EDIUS Neo 3 features
real-time, multi-track, mixed format HD/
SD editing, compositing, chromakeying,
titling, and Blu-ray Disc/DVD output
capabilities.
Exceptional Mixed-format Editing
EDIUS Neo 3 performs conversion
between different HD and SD
resolutions, aspect ratios, and frame
rate, all in real time. Edit 1080i clips on
a 4:3 standard definition timeline, use
NTSC together with PAL, or combine
them all into a 720p24 project without
wasting a single moment on conversion
or rendering. EDIUS Neo 3 also features
real-time playback and DV output of all
effects, keyers, transitions, and titles,
and can export projects to many devices
including Blu-ray Disc, DVD, and SD
cards.
Unsurpassed Image Quality and
Performance
EDIUS Neo 3 includes originally designed
H.264 and MPEG decoders to allow
editing clips in their native formats on
the same timeline. EDIUS Neo 3 also
includes the Grass Valley HQ codec for
recording HD video to provide both high
quality and high performance. The HQ
codec is also perfect for exchanging
video with compositing and graphic
software by supporting an alpha channel
and allowing data compression at the
same time.
No Special Hardware Required
EDIUS Neo 3 does not require any
special hardware to work—it can run on a
laptop as well as a desktop system, and
can input/output video from any generic
OHCI hardware.
