Grass Valley has announced the unveiling of EDIUS 11 at IBC 2023, which will kick off today, September 15 in Amsterdam.
EDIUS 11 comes with a set of AI tools allowing the editor to concentrate on the creative process. EDIUS 11 is also ready for the Integration of third-party AI services – online as well as offline. Mync 11 is included as a content management system for any type of digital media with tight integration into EDIUS 11. To provide for group collaboration of EDIUS projects connecting multiple EDIUS 11 clients, Grass Valley is introducing the Chorus Hub 11 Server system.
Speaking about the launch, Katsushi Takeuchi, Vice President and General Manager of Editing Systems for Grass Valley, said: “This latest version of EDIUS revolutionises next-generation creatives with its advanced Chorus Hub architecture. In addition to advanced video production with numerous new functions, the user experience has been improved to enable more user-friendly and comfortable operation. With the addition of the Chorus Hub 11 Server and strong integration with Mync 11, EDIUS is firmly positioned for craft editors today and for years to come.”
Improvements to functionality include the update of the core engine with support for the latest PC environments and GPU leverage. A new intelligent colour correction filter automatically optimises video footage. Ready-to-use glitch effects are included. Adjustment clips let the user apply effects to multiple clips.
An AI-based voice recognition allows the editor to eliminate even extreme noise. To further optimise audio, EDIUS 11 includes a new dedicated audio editor which also supports an AI-based speech-to-text workflow. A new integrated, fast, and powerful Titler allows the user to burn text as subtitles into video.
Mync 11 provides users with advanced content management features to quickly prepare the footage for editing. A new EDIUS 11 Mync tab puts these tools and assets at the editor’s fingertips directly in EDIUS.
The newly developed Chorus Hub 11 Server technology enables team collaboration and makes editing more efficient. The Chorus Hub 11 Server sits at the center point for group editing, connecting multiple EDIUS 11 clients, the XRE Render Engine, Mync 11 and storage. By integrating the Hub’s Software Development Kit (SDK), AI analysis services such as automatic video and photo tagging, Quality Control (QC), as well as other tasks can be enabled.
Michael Lehmann-Horn, CEO of Magic multi media, EDIUS distributor and operator of EDIUS.NET, added: “This new release combines the stability, benchmark-setting performance, and extensive format support of EDIUS with a wide range of new features, powerful AI tools, and an open structure ready for today and future demands.”
