Post your EDIUS v4.5 questions here...

[GrassValley_KH]

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.

Not for v4.x.

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

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.

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 :)

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.

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?

[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...

Good point. Sounds like something to put into the requests!

I just saw the latest 4.5 in operation today and I noticed two things

1. it still says add track to front or back instead of above/below

2. the menu items on top of preview window are totally unreadable when in single view, the words are stacked on top of one another

do you thinks these things are still on the to be fixed list?

[GrassValley_KH]

Not sure, but I will ask them to take a look.

On the number two that is when you have the window crammed so small that the lettering doesn't have the space it needs.

Now, it would be nice if they created a pulldown for them like in the rest of the windows :)

When is it supposed to ship?

or place them above the timeline buttons, there would be plenty of room because most users make the timeline wide enough to accommodate all menu items

Sometime late summer is when the target is.

Couldn't find the request thread for new features or fixes. Thought I would mention something I would like to see in 4.5 or at some point soon.

Make the white balance, YUV and CC information palletes take up less room. When you open a white balance filter on a single screen setup (like a laptop) you have to move stuff around if you want to see your scope and preview window. It takes up way too much room. Same with YUV. Why not make each of the White, Black, Gray adjustments in White balance a tab and have the information pallete only one column wide. You could make the keyframes on the bottom tab activated as well. It would be easy to access if you needed it and you would get lots of real estate back on single monitor systems.

In addition to all the other issues others have brought up that is the one that bugs me the most.
