Post your EDIUS v4.5 questions here...

[STORMDAVE]

When I saw the demo at NAB shown by the master magician Mike Downey, Edus 4.5 felt like a total revamp of Edius4, and it wasn't only the GUI that changed. I think this is a great start and everyone who's onboard Edius should wait for 5.0, I am guessing that alot of really cool features are going to be shown in that version when it comes.

In a nutshell...

• This is a dot-release.
• It is free.

Therefore...

• There are new features.
• But don't expect a lot of new features.

I have 2 simple and stupid questions:
*Any changes fot QuickTitler?
*Any downloadable desktop backgrounds? Didn't get one with NX Express too, but I had one with Storm...
Thank you

1. There may be, but I didn't notice any, so nothing major that I'm aware of.
2. I'll ask.

Output Files for Broadcast

Will 4.5 be able to output H264 HD files suitable to supply IP Broadcasters or even Quicktime HD codecs?

Will 4.5 be able to output H264 HD files suitable to supply IP Broadcasters or even Quicktime HD codecs?

You can do that already with Procoder 3 or Procoder Express for Edius, provided you have QuickTime 7 Pro installed.

Export Chapter Markers

Will you be able to export chapter markers from the timeline into Pro Coder? That would be a big + !!!

[GrassValley_KH]

I believe this is possible already? Or do you mean that you want chapter markers to be embedded in MPEG-2 streams for use in third party DVD authoring applications?

If that's the case, then no, v4.5 does not do this. You're still going to have to export your marker list out to a file and import manually.

[jerseymike]

I meant embedded into the mpeg 2 streams for use in 3rd party apps. Maybe in version 5 perhaps?

[Scorpio Productions]

But is there a way to force I-frames from project markers?

Cause the exported list of markers for an authoring program can only put chapter points exactly on those frames IF the MPEG-2 file has I-frames where they are.

So not something embedded in the MPEG-2 stream, but is there a way to force ProCoder to put I-frames where project markers are in the EDIUS project for later authoring use?

64 Bit Edius?

Any news from the Windows 64 front?
How about Vista support?
This may be a stretch for now, but what's in the future?

My new processor is just twiddling its' (proverbial) thumbs here.

v4.5 is 32-bit, Windows XP only for EDIUS Pro and EDIUS Broadcast.

[mike0130]

Oh, one more thing that is very important. To the time 4.5 will be out I hope you can prepare tutorials... What is new, how to use new features and then, if possible, some tutorials about advanced editing techniques, but please, make them better quality then existing ones. Something similar to Mike's tutorials for Edius v3.x will be good enough.
Thank you.

We are working on v4.5 training materials, which will go up on the training site on or around the time of launch.

Thanks! This is great.
