Edius 5.1 update features
Installer
• Added “AES7.0” executable for Edius/Aurora integration. To enable
Edius to access Aurora ‘Story View, Media Frame, Assignment List’
Hardware
• HTX-OP1 – TC+BB reference i/o for Thunder
• 1280.720 50p capture and output for Thunder/HD Storm
• Fire Coder Intra Edius 5.1 timeline export
• Fire Coder Blu Edius 5.1 timeline export, AVCHD>HQ acceleration
Project Settings
• Profile Management - read only option
• Clear recent project list (MRU)
• Render format and ‘detail’ – List depends on Project Setting in use.
• Shared environment profile management. Store profiles as Local/Local
+ Server/Server. Option to auto synchronise newly updated profiles to
network.
Importer
• Added Function in EDL exporter – reel name field.
• Capture Reel Name Setting - reel name on video overlay.
• Capture Reel Name Setting – generate from tape (User Bit data)
• Capture Reel Name Setting – reel name settings.
• FCP XML project importer – import FCP prj. *Also Aurora edit prj.
• AVCHD Importer – If CPI (Clip Information File) exists in camera
AVCHD file structure, Edius will not create an .ese seek file. Gives
faster import/less load on disk.
• MPEG Importer – Seek information file can record more information –
which in turn contributes to faster import time and less hard disc
loading
• New AVCHD>HQ encoder (multi-core/multi-file encoder)
*With/Without Fire Coder hardware acceleration
• QuickTime importer support extended
+ DV/DVCPRO

Tools
• XDCAM – Download media option to ‘Edius project folder’.
Previously, clips were downloaded to local drives set by user.
• XDCAM/P2/Infinity/GF Cam– Partial Download support. Only
transfer or up-res media ‘in use’ on timeline, ie - not all the hi-res
media from entire clip.
• Tape-less background transfer optimise (app setting/playback) – helps
to prevent timeline playback stutter during transfer.
Timeline
• Bin – New columns – Video/Audio Stream/Container/Gain all new column
fields are included in bin search for better media management.
• Change properties of multiple clips – not all fields, but fields with drop down
menus are OK for bulk change – F2 to rename/jump fields, or use pull
menu (aspect ratio/clip colour) -
• Container/Reel number added support to property pane
• Popup window layer behaviour – Preference to Bin then vector scope, audio
mixer, clip property, layout tool, effect editor window, marker info palette.
Timeline will remain behind when selected.
• Video layout – key frame reset – ‘initialise’
Before 1
After 1
• Audio Channel Map A1/A2 is A1(L) A2 (R))
• Normalize – Audio Normalise by ‘Track/Selected’ segments. Bin column
‘Gain’ and Clips ‘Audio property’ show added gain from the process.
• Clip Transition – trimming + trim display on transition improved for clarity.
• Clip Speed – Global speed change long clip, + multiple clips – ‘duration on
Timeline remains fixed’ option
• Stereo wave display on Timeline Track (wave GUI update) – Stereo/Mono
mix possible – helps to make user audio mapping faster.
• Multicam mode sync point menu operational. Clip Sync methods –
Asynchronous, Timecode, Rec Time, Clip In, Clip Out
• Source/Rec monitor shortcut menu added.
Exporter
• Batch Exporter – New buttons for adding + deleting profiles/batch lists.
• MPEG 2 Elementary stream support
• Added support for GF/XDCAM as MPEG render formats
• Newly supported video formats in mxf exporter
