"It is still fastest H.264 editor. Quick and quite efficient." Fasted, but killing image quality! Image quality lower by...

Edius Pro 8 Home Edition is on sale until the end of July. Non-commercial use, not upgradable to v9, but ~$200 cheaper. Perhaps a candidate for the deals in other places thread?

I said the concept. Edius was the fastest and best installation software! It was the concept of Edius - quickly and efficiently! Now - the quality is below the baseboard, from the introspection remained the legend!

Edius (the concept) was killed when Thomson bought it from Canopus. Remind me, was it version 3 or 4?

This was my favorite editing program! Once upon a Time... Before Thompson :( !

Grass Valley :/ - RIP Edius!

Hmm, wonder if Grass Valley will be showing Edius at SMPTE 2017?

Edius 8

Grass Valley, a Belden Brand, is launching EDIUS 8, the latest version of its editing platform designed for production and broadcast news. Version 8 features multiple new capabilities, including refreshed GUI, Canon XF-AVC support, a new workflow clip management tool, accelerated 4K H.264 playback and an aggressive development program to introduce many new creative tools over the coming months.

“Speed and flexibility are critical for editing, and with EDIUS you can always be confident of being able to deal with virtually any type of content that comes your way,” said Mike Cronk, senior vice president of strategic marketing, Grass Valley. “With EDIUS 8 users will receive free updates and new functionality throughout; it’s a smart investment business-wise and creatively.”

EDIUS offers best-in-class camera support to allow editors to concentrate on the story, not the technology. Plus, EDIUS 8 is the first nonlinear editing system to support Canon’s recently announced XF-AVC video format which is at the heart of the new 4K XC10 camcorder. EDIUS 8 also includes a new GV browser tool to manage video and still image content on your PC, prior to importing into EDIUS for editing.

EDIUS delivers exceptional performance using Intel’s Quick Sync Video—providing editors with super-fast H.264 export capabilities—great for dealing with smartphone footage and repurposing for uploads to social media channels, including YouTube—and amazing playback, even when editing 4K material.

EDIUS 8 will be available in two versions, EDIUS Pro and EDIUS Workgroup. EDIUS Pro is targeted at production professionals looking for flexible editing that offers speed and the ability to handle any file format with a range of creative tools. EDIUS Workgroup is aimed at collaborative news and sports editing for broadcasters, and can be fully integrated with the GV STRATUS video production and content management system, or other third-party media asset management tools and server offerings.

EDIUS Pro 8 and EDIUS Workgroup 8 will ship towards the end of June 2015.

@Vitaliy_Kiselev, HitFilm2 looks very interesting, I'll give it a shot.

So far for the After Effects intergration I am using the Canopus HQ codec. Importing-exporting through programs, it's a pain in the ass, but the files are relatively small to work with. I am using the AE for titles, tracking objects and sometimes some color correction.

In Edius there is a way to import some After Effects filters and plug-ins, like magic bullet Looks, Colorista, Mojo, NewBlue Effects and others. Plug-ins must be for 32bit and previous editions of AE (CS4,CS3).

Anyone try the R/T AVCHD editing?

On 6.5, it's as fast as an intra codec, which is very fast (on Edius). The main demerit of Edius is too few filters and restricted third-party plug-in support. But for the editing engine alone, it's great.

I have tried & worked on any NLE software until today (Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, Avid, Pinnacle, Sony Vegas, Autodesk Smoke, Lightworks) and I always return to Grass Valley Edius. I've been following edius since version 4. It was always more responsive, more efficient, less bugs and faster editing with all media files support. I still haven't tried extensive the Premiere CC and Avid Media Composer 7, till then I am using edius. The only thing I envy is the intergration of After Effects in Adobe Suite programs.

Anyone try the R/T AVHCH editing?
