NewTek's SpeedEDIT Accelerates Multi-Definition Video Editing
August 01, 2006
San Antonio, TX - NewTek's SpeedEDIT speeds editing of multi-definition video by allowing 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 ($495) allows editing of full-resolution video in real-time, within its dual timeline and storyboard interface, bypassing any intermediate transcoding or pre-trimming.
NewTek, which will be exhibiting at WEVA EXPO 2006 (Aug. 21-24) says 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, according to NewTek.
"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."
