EDIUS 5 nonlinear editing software is designed for any broadcast and post-production environments, especially those with newer, tapeless forms of video recording and storage. Perfect for file-based workflows, EDIUS software offers realtime, multi-track, mixed-format editing, compositing, chroma keying, titling, and timeline output capabilities. In addition to the standard formats of the EDIUS family, it supports Infinity™ JPEG 2000, DVCPRO, P2, VariCam, Ikegami GigaFlash, MXF, XDCAM, and XDCAM EX video. It also supports all DV and HDV cameras and decks.
