Post your EDIUS v4.5 questions here...

[jerseymike]

Export Chapter Markers

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

[THoff]

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.

Output Files for Broadcast

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

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...

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

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.

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.

[GrassValley_MD]

Yes... it is. I am just aysing that many folks are going to think that this is a MAJOR upgrade when it was never intended as such. :)

Full preview in a secondary monitor

Hi, what about full video preiew in a secondary monitor (like Vegas or Avid Xpress), it could be an interesting fuction to add for a major upgrade, isn't it? I like the new look for the Edius 4.5. I'd like too much to work with avchd file produced with the new hd sony camera, will be possible? I'd like to work with single or multiple (select two separate point in a audio track to pump up db)selection with edit point of audio mixer and video mixer. I'd like that importing of files containing alpha channel will be improved (but this is an old story).

We don't "keep secrets" but rather, we only talk about things that are 100% confirmed and ready for release outside of Japan. We have no control whatsoever in what Japan publishes or states, and when they will do it.

AAF support is in 4.5. End of story.

As for release schedule, please do not ask "where is it?" - it will be ready when it is done - looking closer to the end of July, but may take longer. Any more "where is it?" posts will be deleted. When the update is released, an announcement will be posted in many many places.

Thanks!

T-Bone, this is exactly my point! Where are those guys who make Edius- all those programmers etc? I think they are in Japan. And probably this is the reason we like the product? So you saying that they will make an update, but some parts of it will dissapear till it reaches us?
Since this forum is on, GV guys trying to keep secrets about everythig, I am happy when I can get some more info (see, I was born in USSR, and I remember soviet system where you will never hear anything that goverment don't want you to hear... That time I was listening "The Woice of America" on short waves radio to hear something more... or different from soviet point of view)

[T-Bone]

Mike, I don't know if it helps or not, but GV has its own list of 4.5 changes:

http://www.canopus.com/products/EDIU...ewfeatures.php

the normal answer I have seen is that stuff that's on the japanese site doesn't necessarily have any connection with what we'll see here outside of japan

[mike0130]

Mike, are you saying that the features that were on japan WEB site are not planned in ver.4.5?

http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.canopus.co.jp%2Fcatalog%2Fedius_pro%2Fedius_pro45_features.htm&langpair=ja%7Cen&hl=de&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&prev=%2Flanguage_tools

For example, this
"AAF (Advanced Authoring Format) it corresponded to import/export. With the composition software of DAW and After Effects etc of Pro Tools and the like exchanging the data becomes possible."
Is this feature in?
Thank you
Mike

We are getting close and I want to remind everyone that this is a point upgrade.

This is NOT a major release.

I am afraid that many folks are thinking that the new look is a re-write and getting their hopes up for HUGE changes and it is not.

The last year was spent getting Edius and other Canopus products in line with the family of Grass Valley products.

Now, with that said I am hoping you will see that there is more than a few things for all users and not just broadcast and I am hoping that you guys will be happy with it.
