The investment could be worth it just to watch the sliders move on their own during playback (don't let it be said that we're easily pleased!). The BCF2000 provides eight physical motorised sliders with which to adjust sound levels on the timeline. It's a costly package, but with bespoke systems costing from £3,300 it could be a tempting prospect for the working professional.Ī cute addition is new support for Behringer's B-Control BCF2000 fader, a physical control surface costing around £120. Naturally, Grass Valley is keen to promote its NX real-time boards to work alongside Edius 4.5, offering good real-time performance and playback on external monitors. HDV playback from the timeline isn't fed out via OHCI FireWire ports, but that's the case for all video editing programs at present. HDV monitoring was excellent too, with the most extreme filters playing back smoothly, sharply and confidently - albeit only on the computer monitor. Overall performance for DV format work was superb on a 3GHz dual core system, giving the type of real-time playback that we would once only expect from expensive hardware acceleration. In our tests, Edius proved itself to be very fast and responsive, unlike many other programs that take time to stop and think about each command when projects get complicated.

Once set up, all the above adjustments can be saved as a template for future use.Įdius' core workflow remains unchanged - so there's no new learning curve for existing users - and even newcomers with some experience in prosumer-level editing software will feel right at home with its visual approach to three-point editing, using source and edit monitors (or a single monitor toggled between the two functions). Window layout and even timeline and render settings can be tweaked. There's also a comprehensive panel for customising the main user interface, assigning buttons, tweaking playback controls and overlay options, and setting keyboard shortcuts. Once into the main interface, we find that everything appears brighter and friendlier, with a redesigned interface which is altogether more punchy and visual.
