POST .PRODUCTION VT-Edit

VT-Edit is perhaps the fastest professional nonlinear editor available, with scores of features to allow you to edit and finish your on-line productions in less time:

• Real-time sizing, positioning, rotating, cropping and smoothing of all stills and videos
• Real-time color correction
• Real-time frame-buffer support of all edit actions and corrections
• Faster-than-real-time rendering of your project to another file source
• Instantly save projects as avi files, without rendering or wasting precious storage space
• Instantly export projects to your favorite DVD authoring software
• All keyframeable parameters are adjustable with interactive spline curves
• Nest portions of projects into a single Sub-Project
• Fully optimized for Microsoft Windows XP™ Professional
• Edit in the next dimension
  

VT-Edit takes your workflow and productions to the next level of quality and efficiency with real-time positioning, sizing, scaling and rotations. Interactively soften clip edges and take full benefit of three different types of real-time color correction (Basic, RGB, YUV). This is an edit system designed for people who need to work quickly, as you can play your projects as you continue to edit, undo, trim and composite. Should you begin building complex layers, VT-Edit will quietly begin background rendering anything that exceeds your system's real-time playback…all while you remain focused on the story, without concern for the process.

Standout Standards Conversion
VT-Edit mixes both PAL and NTSC in the same timeline, with real-time playback and no necessity for rendering or importation. It's as simple as drag, drop and play. To refine edit settings, all keyframes can be adjusted using the powerful real-time spline controls. Combined with unlimited undos and the ability to save your undo stack to disk, creative freedom is raised to levels never enjoyed before.

VT Edit's Tool Shed also offers tools for smart group control over clip lengths, markers, transitions, and even provides detailed project reports. Tool Shed's one-click wizard environment allows quick-edit creations and Cut-To-Music demo reels with unbelievable accuracy and speed

VT[3]™ allows real-time interactive control of the speed of your VT-Edit clips. Draw emphasis to the special moments in your video by smoothly slowing the clip in the spline editor. You can even stop or reverse the clip, all without affecting your project's total time.

Instant AVI
VT-Edit Wrapper codec immediately converts VT-Edit project data into AVI files and eliminates wastage of time rendering projects for DVD authoring or to export into compositing or animation software. Gigabytes of uncompressed video can be saved instantly, without rendering, and without duplicating clips and taking up precious hard drive space. Any project saved as an AVI will re-load into VT-Edit as a complete project.

See it the way you want
VT-Edit allows you to examine your project in several ways: Storyboard, Timeline, visually adjust all layered composites in the Positioning panel or in an EDL Details view. Perhaps the best part is VT-Edit's ability to view the same project in dual views at the same time, without exporting or updating. Work your project in the real-time view mode that makes the most sense at the moment: use the Storyboard for quick sequencing and trimming of initial edits, then begin working match points and composites in Timeline, and get a broad overview of assets in the Spreadsheet view. Switch views as you continue working. In a few short moments, you will realize this is an editor designed by veteran video producers who want to put the focus on real-time creation and experimentation.
