Post your EDIUS v4.5 questions here...

Note: Any questions not addressed mean I don't know.

1. Alpha. The real one! like in Adobe?

"Real" is a relative term... I haven't looked deeply, but at least at first glance, no.

4. Any new plugins?

Audio Pitch Shift filter. Does that count?

Remember folks, this is a free-of-charge, dot-release, not a major version upgrade. There's only so much we can add.

Note: Any questions not addressed mean I don't know.

1. Will there be an OMF Export option?

No, but AAF Export is scheduled to be added. The last time I talked to Avid folks, they were ditching OMF in favor of AAF.

Thanks. lots of questions...
1. Alpha. The real one! like in Adobe?
2. 3DPIP improvements?
3. Replacement for Xplode Pro or improvement of Explode for Edius with effects/transitions? Also- VERY IMPORTANT: working with nVidia PCI-E cards for Xplode for Edius!!!
4. Any new plugins?
5. Working with ParticleIllusion, BluffTitler, Aftereffects etc.? (plugins such as Vitscene?)
6. Any easy way to resize, rotate and opacty changes as in premiere?
7. Fix the quicktime import bug?
Those are the most important for me, but there are lots more...
Oh, sorry, almost forgot one: TRAINING!!! Videotraining- not how to start and exit software, but something in depth about advanced editing- like Total Training do for Adobe products!!!
Such a shame- I saw some very simple questions asked on Canopus forum by professional guys... And- knoledge must be free!
BTW, tomorrow I am getting my new Edius PCI Express cards. I am giving you my money- you help me to become a PRO!
Deal?
Thanks
Mike

1. Will there be an OMF Export option?
2. will it be possible to undo modifications (e.g. renaming) in the BIN window?
3. Will it be possible to give each captured tape a custom name when inserted and captured from?
4. Will batchlist creation be possible without attaching a deck/capture device?
5. Can one add markers to clips and comment them?
6. Will it be possible to resize the thumbnails of the clips in the Bin window like for instance adding a scaling thumbnail slider or a shortcut comman like STRG + "+" and "-" for resizing?
7. Will Edius 4.5 finally install more VST plugins than it currently does / more compatible to common VST plugins from Steinberg?
8. Will the unpredictable jumping of the timeline when dragging a clip to it be gone?

That are the questions that would interest me a lot...

AC-3 export: It's built in, as part of a new separate MPEG exporter (ie. not within ProCoder Express for EDIUS).

This is linked to Dave's question:

How will this link to Procoder 3? I presume we can still export by selecting Procoder plugin and from there select AC3 audio and all MPEG2 settings are before?

That is: I can select bit rates, quality, GOP settings, etc along with AC3?

[STORMDAVE]

About the MPEG2 Exporter with AC3 (2.0), will it have the same settings as ProCoder Express? Going upto "Highest Quality"? Or is it similar to Speed Encoder and it's fixed and non-changeable settings?

If you have any questions regarding the upcoming v4.5 update for EDIUS software, please post them here. We will do our best to answer them.

Please Note: Asking questions of the form "Is 'xyz' bug fixed?" is a tricky issue, since the software update is still a couple of months from being finished, and has yet to enter a closed beta testing phase. We can answer only based on our latest build, and if we say "no" as an answer, that does not mean that it won't be fixed at all. Be warned.

Information recap:

What's in it: See here

Price: Nothing - it's absolutely free. The AVC-Intra plug-in module will, however, attract a separate fee when it becomes available later this year (v4.5 is ready to edit with the AVC-Intra plug-in)

When: End of July at this stage. Nothing in software development is ever 100% iron-clad, but this is certainly our desired target.

How to get it: Still to be determined. The update itself is approx. 1.5GB at this stage. More information will be available when it is close to completion.

The interface change: It looks different, but it does not work differently. No need to worry about learning things all over again.

AC-3 export: It's built in, as part of a new separate MPEG exporter (ie. not within ProCoder Express for EDIUS).
