EDIUS FOR ADOBE PREMIERE PRO EDITORS
Grass Valley by Maxim Jago
Grass Valley EDIUS is an extremely powerful and realtime multiformat NLE capable of handling resolutions up to 4K and 3D material. Many Adobe Premiere Pro editors can benefit by using the additional enhancements found in EDIUS, especially since the editing experience between the two NLEs is almost exactly the same.
Differences exist primarily in colors, button designs, or names of tools. This Application Note provides everything needed to translate existing Premiere Pro editing skills into EDIUS editing skills.
INTRODUCTION
Grass Valley EDIUS is a powerful nonlinear editing system used by countless editors all over the world to produce broadcast television, film, multimedia, and DVDs.
Nonetheless, many Adobe Premiere Pro editors hesitate to jump in and discover the fast, powerful, and easy to use editing tools EDIUS offers.
There can be good reasons to stick with what is already known, of course. No time is required to learn the tools already being used and it takes effort to learn new technologies. The good news is that the standard Premiere Pro and EDIUS editing
experience is not just similar—it’s almost exactly the same!
The workflow is similar for ingesting media, editing clips into sequences, applying video and audio filters, and output. EDIUS has native multiformat support, too, so you can work with multiple media file types without transcoding, just as can be done with Premiere Pro.
Many of the differences between the two editing systems are primarily about colors, button designs, or names of tools. Once the user is familiar with the EDIUS interface, they will be editing just as they always have—with a number of new enhancements.
