Featuring a basic, entry-level range of tools and features, our EDIUS® Neo 3 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, chromakeying, titling, and both Blu-ray Disc and DVD authoring.

Built on the same highly-acclaimed technology as our EDIUS application, EDIUS Neo 3 software offers native editing of various formats including AVCHD, HDV, DV, Windows Media, and QuickTime—and now also supports CANON EOS DSLR video—and provides a seamless, real-time workflow that supports mixing all formats on the same timeline. And you can upgrade to the full-featured version of EDIUS at any time.

EDIUS Neo 3 also features a new Source Browser function to automatically search for video contents inside removable media. Efficient editing is possible while preserving the original image quality, with no loss of resolution or frame rate. Enables real-time playback of three or more streams without special hardware. (Verified in internal tests on computers with Intel Core i7 processors.)

EDIUS Neo 3 runs on a laptop as well as a workstation system and can input/output video from any OHCI FireWire (IEEE 1394)-compatible hardware. If you need HDMI and audio monitoring or Blu-ray Disc acceleration support, take a look at the HDSPARK™ and FIRECODER® Blu as options for EDIUS Neo 3.
