On the Grassvalley forums it has been stated by Grassvalley employees.

EDIUS 6 will be officially announced at IBC on September 10th

Yay. Hmm.. wonder what's in it. Fixes for all the damn bugs or a whole bunch of new ....er ..features?

it looks like a lot of things for other people not me. Like Red support a better layout tool and 10 bit editing. I heard its supposed to be faster we'll see. I heard a rumor that they MAY include Visttitle IMO that will be the only way it could justify the upgrade for me. There doesnt seem to be enough to justify $200. I hope GV proves me wrong in 2 weeks.

What damn bugs are you talking about?, other software doesn't have bugs?

yeah I agree Edius aint perfect but I think it has the fewest amount of bugs (if any) of any program I have ever used.

Missing a few days to the due date (September 10th), then we will know all the new features it brings EDIUS 6.

For now, based on video demo... most important is:

- Supports 2K, 4K Movie.
- New Codec, "Canopus HQX" 10-bit
- Multi-camera editing of up to 16 angles.
- Bezier function, Motion Tracking.

If you have not seen... here is the promotional demo in Chinese:

I'd like to see a fix for whatever bug has made my project files Balloon and cause my save times to be long enough to be able get a cup of coffee and/or take quick washroom break.

I'd like to know which bug causes posters to display such awful spelling - I can imagine how frustrated their clients must be when it comes to any form of titling :-)

also there is an edit function available to correct errors on your posts...

mmm, dyslexia I guess.... no offence of course :-)

Whom exactly is the a reference too?

... now available from the GV website here:

EDIUS 6 Feature Preview | Grass Valley (http://www.grassvalley.com/products/edius_6/features)

Anybody know the price?

$300 for an upgrade. too much IMHO.

They do have a program that allows you to upgrade for free although you had to buy Edius 5 on the 1st of September and up.
