Hi, just to notify all DVinfo Edius users that Grass Valley/Canopus has just release a new update for Edius. You must logon to your account (at canopus dot com) in order to download. Here some fix details from the readme me file:

Fixed issue in rendering when using files captured by QuickCapture.
Fixed pull down menu issue that closes when opening batch capture dialog box.
Fixed issue when creating new project (a new folder was created in wrong directory).
Fixed issue that "Convert 16Bit/2ch" does not work.
Fixed Windows shutdown issue after using EDIUS.
Fixed rendering issue that EDIUS freezes on rendering, when the timeline includes many TGA files.
Fixed hanging issue when exporting DV25 format in XDCAM DV proxy mode.
Fixed issue with speed change (field flip occurred).
Fixed disappearing folder issue when making a new project (folder name is the same as the file name).
Fixed capture issue when time code skipped over 0h (24h).
Fixed information palette issue (source time code info was wrong).
Fixed export to tape issue when exporting after preview (the image was black).
Fixed issue with 5.1ch Dolby audio decoding.
Fixed issue with partial rendering (rendering unnecessary areas).
Fixed rendering issue that EDIUS freezes if mouse cursor is on rendered area during rendering.
Fixed issue that can not select "over load area in MPEG(HDV) rendering format in HD60i.
Fixed issue that VWS data becomes off-line when loading project file saved EDIUS Pro 3 with EDIUS Pro 4.

Enjoy

Alexis,

Thanks for the heads up!

I quickly headed over to the Canopus forums and took notice of what others have experienced from this update. As a result of this, I think I will wait a while before updating. I'm very happy with version 4.03, it doesn't miss a beat with my workflow.

i recall early versions of edius required manually setting 16:9 in the clip properties

Arve Hansen · January 29th, 2007, 04:28 AM

Who is the best titler to use with Edius 4 and Why?
Motion pro
Blufftitler
Ulead 3D studio?
Are there more i could try?

Go and download Heroglyph by ProDad.

Works really well with EDIUS.

Each time I launch Edius (TBYB), the process wmiprvse.exe occupies some 20% of CPU resources, even with the PC doing nothing - does anyone know why?

I use edius alot both for my day job and at home for wedding videos I do on the side and can usually troubleshoot most issues I have with it.

I am working on putting together a website for myself and thought it would be a good idea to put my demo reel on my website. Now unfortunately my demo only exists as a DVD format, usually I just copy the DVD when I need to show it to a client. In order to put it on the web I of course need to capture the video from the DVD. I tried to use the Edius Disc capture utility, which captured the video just fine.... but there was no audio.

Next I tried to use procoder, selecting the VOB file on the dvd... once again the video came in just fine, but no audio. The audio is there when I play the DVD, and there is no copy protection on the dvd.

FYI, I am using Edius pro 4 running on windows vista at home- but the same thing happens using the computers at my day job using Edius 3 on XP machines.

You didn't say what format your audio was in.

Don't forget Edius really can't handle AC 3, and it'll need to be converted back to WAV file to bring into Edius.

Cheers Vaughan

Adam Grunseth · February 15th, 2007, 10:08 PM

The audio may be AC3 format.... it was quite some time ago that I made the DVD.... I used Adobe Audition for the authoring/encoding but I do not recall what I did with the audio. Usually I try to avoid using AC3 audio due to compatibility issues in some software DVD players, but I made the demo disk so long ago I do not recall what my audio settings were.

So assuming the audio is AC3, is there any type of workaround or freeware programs that will allow me to get my video & audio back off the disk?

Ron Evans · February 15th, 2007, 10:35 PM

DVDLab, Ulead Moviefactory, Womble, may be others too. All these have a trial version that you can use for I think 30 days. DVDlab will extract for re-authoring but the files are available for editing too by other apps, Ulead and Womble will allow editing and re-authoring. All will manage ac3 too.

Why doesn't work Edius 4 with Vista Premium? Thanks for advice.

John Richard · March 7th, 2007, 11:47 AM

Much of what an NLE uses from the OS (such as Direct X) has been completely changed in Vista.

With the long development time and many code rewrites of Vista, writing such a massive driver change and testing was delayed. Vista versions are in development per GV.

The upcoming Procoder 3 version is reported to be Vista compatible.
