Edius Neo

Online Catalogue | Editing programs - information on EDIUS, Premiere Pro, Avid and Vegas software | Grass Valley Edius |  Edius Neo

There are two version of EDIUS - the full version and EDIUS NEO. Neo is exactly the same program as the full EDIUS but without some of the more advance features.  Neo may do everything that you need for editing and now with support to the Grass Valley HDSPARK and FireCoder Blu you can watch your edits in full HD and export quickly to Blu-ray and DVD.

AVCHD Booster Pack

In November 2009 Grass Valley introduced the AVCHD booster pack for EDIUS NEO.  This allows you to edit native AVCHD in EDIUS in realtime.  Without the booster pack you can still put native AVCHD on the EDIUS timeline but even on the most powerful computers EDIUS cannot play it back.  With the booster pack on a modern computer, like an i7, you can play play 3 layers of picture in picture in realtime using native AVCHD footage.  This is a huge leap forward for editing AVCHD - without it you have to convert the footage to Canopus' own HQ format, which takes time, and then edit the clips.

Currently the booster pack is only available for EDIUS NEO, not for full EDIUS - so in fact Neo edits native AVCHD better than its big brother.  The booster pack will be incorporated into full EDIUS at some point but we do not know when.

You can buy the AVCHD booster pack with EDIUS NEO or as a separate add-on.

EDIUS NEO's strengths

EDIUS strengths are its stability and realtime performance and you get exactly the same with Neo.  Neo also has EDIUS' multi-track timeline, mixed-format HD/SD editing, excellent realtime chromakeying, titling using EDIUS' QuickTitler which can do realtime rolling and crawling titles as well as, and DVD authoring.

Using the Grass Valley FIRECODER Blu board you can export quickly to Blu-ray from the Neo timeline.  Also with Neo2 you can use the Grass Valley HDSPARK PCI Express board that gives you real-time, HDMI output so you can see you editing in full HD on a decent screen.  Neo does not support other Grass Valley hardware, such as the HDSTORM and HDTHUNDER, but you do not really need inputs with most of the modern AVCHD or HDV cameras so it may not be an issue.

Neo2 also includes the new range or 3D GPU based transitions that were first seen in EDIUS 5. These add exciting effects such as page wipes, bouncing balls and explosions.  Also new in Neo 2 is the animatable layout tool.  This lets you easily crop and do animated picture in picture effects with your video or stills.  It also maintains the quality of any high res stills as you pan around them making it great for image montages.

Format support

Neo supports AVCHD, HDV, AVI and QuickTime files and Windows Media on the timeline.  It does not support Panasonic DVCPro HD, Sony XDCamHD or XDCam-EX  and various other high end formats.  For these you need to get the full version of EDIUS.
