Affordable Nonlinear Editing

Featuring a basic, entry-level range of tools and features, our Grass Valley EDIUS Neo 2 software is ideal for those new to video editing. Yet, it also provides powerful nonlinear editing features common to all EDIUS solutions, such as real-time, multi-track, mixed-format HD/SD editing, chroma keying, titling, and both Blu-ray Disc and DVD authoring.

Built on the same highly-acclaimed technology as our EDIUS Pro application, EDIUS Neo 2 software offers native editing of various formats including AVCHD, HDV, DV, Windows Media, and QuickTime-and provides a seamless, real-time workflow that supports mixing all formats within the same timeline. And you can upgrade it to the full-featured EDIUS editing software at any time. For a comparison of our EDIUS NLE Software solutions, visit the NLE Software page.

EDIUS Neo 2 runs on a laptop as well as a workstation system and can input/output video from any OHCI FireWire-compatible hardware. If you need HDMI and audio monitoring or Blu-ray Disc acceleration support, take a look at the EDIUS Neo 2 HDSPARK and EDIUS Neo 2 FIRECODER Blu packages.
