NewTek has announced SpeedEDIT, a resolution-independent video editor designed to work quickly and efficiently on any video project, from web streams to high definition. SpeedEdit works smoothly whether you’re editing HDV, DV, MPEG-2, AVI, QuickTime, or other popular video formats. Enjoy full resolution on-screen HD output with FireWire output to camera or deck.

“With SpeedEDIT, NewTek has created a faster way to edit video on a computer,” said Philip Nelson, vice president of sales and video marketing. “We’ve spent years refining digital tools devoted to visual story-telling, and the result is SpeedEDIT.”

SpeedEDIT features include:

  • Resolution independence - edit anything from web streams to HD
  • Mix SD and HD clips in the same project
  • Supports all frame-rates and resolutions
  • 16:9 and 4:3 aspect support
  • Live web streaming and recording
  • Support for MPEG-2, HDV, DV, QuickTime, Flash and more
  • Project output via FireWire to camera or deck
  • Realtime HD outputs on-screen
  • Auto white balance correction
  • Realtime three-wheel color correction
  • Advanced four-band selective color selection
  • Multi-threaded software runs faster with dual-core computers
Rather than emulating the “old school” film-cutting workflow found in most nonlinear editors, NewTek streamlines the editing process by eliminating many unnecessary steps. SpeedEDIT allows all editing functions to be performed directly within its unique timeline and storyboard interface, avoiding the intermediate steps of transcoding or pre-trimming content.

SpeedEDIT further accelerates the editing process by dynamically linking Storyboard and Timeline, which allows the performance of many common functions in fewer steps. Ripple edits, clip replacement, segment repositioning, 3D video rotation, color correction, animated titles and Targa sequence playback are just a few of the everyday tasks that SpeedEDIT performs faster than any other professional editing package.

SpeedEDIT will ship in summer 2006 for $495.
