MillimeterNewTek SpeedEDIT bridges support between standard and high definition video
Aug 11, 2006 11:46 AM
As standard definition video is being replaced with High definition, many production facilities must still utilize their existing content libraries. NewTek SpeedEDIT allows producers to mix multiple formats (avi, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, QuickTime) and multiple resolutions (SD 4:3, SD 16:9, HD 720p and 1080i) on the same timeline without transcoding or rendering.
SpeedEDIT helps producers by editing the full-resolution video in real-time, within its dual timeline and storyboard interface, bypassing any intermediate transcoding or pre-trimming. SpeedEDIT further accelerates the editing process by dynamically linking Storyboard and Timeline, allowing many common editing 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 routine tasks that SpeedEDIT performs faster than any other professional editing package.
"SpeedEDIT is a valuable tool for the production industry during this transition from SD to HD," says Philip Nelson, vice president of sales & video marketing for NewTek. "SpeedEDIT helps you craft the story without regard to format or resolution, easily mixing SD archive with newer HD clips in the same project so you can concentrate on the message, instead of the medium."
Key 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
. Support for MPEG-2, HDV, DV, AVI, QuickTime, Flash, and more
. Project output via FireWire to camera or deck
. Real-time 3-wheel color correction
. Advanced 4-band selective color selection
. Multi-threaded software optimized with dual-core computers "
