Post your EDIUS v4.5 questions here...

[mike0130]

I am looking for a software to be a composite "addon" to edius. Same like PremierePRO and AE. Boris and Combustion are good choices, the only problem with Boris is RGB format and not YUV.
Combustion has nice performance, good potential and... particles. It would be nice to have some integration with future version(s) of Edius...

Please let me know is there any possibility for future work with Combustion.
thanks

I have not seen anything specifically mentioned. What sort of workflow are you looking for?

AAF Support

Thanks for the good news re AAF import/export GV, as Pro Tools and After Effects are the two programs I am most interested in.

[GrassValley_MD]

I believe AAF support is in both Pro and Broadcast, but I will confirm.

AAF has been tested with After Effects and Pro Tools, and that's it. It may support other applications though.

I just tried it and it is in Pro as well :)

Is it possible that Imaginate is going to be incorporated into Edius 4.5, or possibly 5.0? It would be a tragedy if this excellent piece of software just ceased to exist. Let's hope Grass Valley finds a way for it in the future.

I would love to see this also and have suggested it from an employee perspective (and I think I am not the only one) but like KH said... it is pure speculation and guessing at this point.

Not for v4.x.

It may work its way into the next major release, but it's still speculative at best.

Hello,

Could GV please confirm for me if the new AAF import/export in 4.5 will only be available in the Broadcast version?

Also, is it possible for GV to say which, if any, programs they have tested the new AAF support with during 4.5's development?

Thanks

I have lobbied for the inclusion for a while, but I would not hold my breath on it. The GV purchase and HD have put a damper on Imaginate. I still use it almost every day.

Please ask GV to remove the IM2 demo from the Edius4 Bonus CD to avoid confusion

While it's maybe not quite so automated as you put it, v4.5 has a couple of handy new shortcuts for you to use (there's also buttons for some of these that you can stick on the timeline window).

Will there be something like an auto audio crossfade function?

Should work like that: I choose two overlapping audio files eg on A1 and A2 and then a function (shortcut) sets the fade in and fade out according to the overlapping.

DVD Creator has been added (albiet tweaked) to v4.5, so it's essentially the same workflow.

And yes, you can use your own backgrounds.
