EDIUS OPTIMISED FOR 3D

A special version of EDIUS that adds extensive 3D editing capabilities has been made available for download for a limited period.

The EDIUS 3D 'Preview Version' incorporates native 3D support for video clips captured with the most popular 3D cameras, easy clip pairing for synching left eye/right eye clips; conversion of single stream 3D (like side-by-side) to dual stream 3D (left eye and right eye); and a array of tools on the editing timeline that make 3D adjustments easy. 3D evangelist and veteran EDIUS user Al Caudullo has been testing the software extensively, taking it to the rugged highlands of western Mongolia to cover the annual Eagle Festival. Al also presented a session on 3D editing at the recent Editors Retreat conference in Austin, TX. "The Editors Retreat is a gathering of North America's post production elite. It was an amazing experience to be with so many seasoned pros." said Al. "Everyone, including the Keynote Speaker Jay Rabinowitz, who participated in the EDIUS 3D presentation agreed that 3D IS coming and all expected to be asked to edit 3D in the near future. They had great things to say about the smooth workflow and extensive feature set of EDIUS 3D." The EDIUS 3D Preview Version will be updated regularly—at least monthly—through the end of March 2012.

Grass Valley Adds 3D Support to EDIUS

Grass Valley has unveiled a new 3D toolset for its EDIUS multiformat nonlinear editing software and has added 3D support for editing peripherals that provides users with a complete stereoscopic 3D postproduction workflow.

The STORM 3G and STORM 3G Elite editing platforms are both supported via the EDIUS timeline with stereoscopic 3D I/O through a single 3G SDI source and/or dual 3G SDI signals.
