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 realtime, within its dual timeline and storyboard interface, bypassing any intermediate transcoding or pre-trimming. SpeedEDIT further accelerates the editing process by linking storyboard and timeline. SpeedEDIT has handles ripple edits, clip replacement, segment repositioning, 3D video rotation, color correction, animated titles and Targa sequence playback.
SpeedEDIT is a valuable tool for the production industry during this transition from SD to HD, says Philip Nelson, vp 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* Realtime three-wheel color correction* Advanced four-band selective color selection* Multi-threaded software optimized with dual-core computers
