VT-Edit is perhaps the fastest professional nonlinear editor available, with scores of features to allow you to edit and finish your on-line productions in less time:

• Real-time sizing, positioning, rotating, cropping and smoothing of all stills and videos
• Real-time color correction
• Real-time frame-buffer support of all edit actions and corrections
• Faster-than-real-time rendering of your project to another file source
• Instant saving of all projects as avi files, without rendering or wasting precious storage space
• All keyframeable parameters are adjustable with interactive spline curves
• Nest portions of projects into a single Sub-Project
• Fully optimized for Microsoft Windows XP™ Professional

Edit in the next dimension
VT-Edit takes your workflow and productions to the next level of quality and efficiency with real-time positioning, sizing, scaling and rotations. Interactively soften clip edges and take full benefit of three different types of real-time color correction (Basic, RGB, YUV).

This is an edit system designed for people who need to work quickly, as you can play your projects as you continue to edit, undo, trim and composite. Should you begin building complex layers, VT-Edit will quietly begin background rendering anything that exceeds your system’s real-time playback…all while you remain focused on the story, without concern for the process.

Standout Standards Conversion
VT-Edit possesses the incredible ability to mix both PAL and NTSC in the same timeline, with real-time playback. No rendering or importation is necessary. Drag, drop, play: it’s really that simple. NewTek wanted to improve your chances of telling your story around the world, and it’s never been this straightforward before. Re-start VT[3] in either PAL or NTSC mode, load your project and play in the standard of your choice, in real-time.

If there is any edit setting you wish to refine, all keyframes can be adjusted using the powerful real-time spline controls. Create as many keyframes, unlimited control points between each keyframe. Combined with unlimited undos and the ability to save your undo stack to disk, creative freedom is raised to levels never enjoyed before.

After spending a moment refining any curve in VT-Edit, this setting can be saved as a custom preset, to be recalled for any clip or group of clips with a single click of the mouse. While dozens of presets are already supplied, you can customize and save as many as you wish. These presets can even be traded among editors. Tool Shed also offers tools for smart group control over clip lengths, markers, transitions, and even provide detailed project reports. Tool Shed’s one-click wizard environment allows quick-edit creations and Cut-To-Music demo reels with unbelievable accuracy and speed.

VT[3]™ allows real-time interactive control of the speed of your VT-Edit clips. Draw emphasis to the special moments in your video by smoothly slowing the clip in the spline editor. You can even stop or reverse the clip, all without affecting your project’s total time.

It’s a Wrap
VT-Edit Wrapper codec wraps VT-Edit project data into AVI files. This means you no longer have to waste time rendering projects for DVD authoring or to export into compositing or animation software. Gigabytes of uncompressed video can be saved instantly, without rendering, and without duplicating clips and taking up precious hard drive space. Any project saved as an AVI will re-load into VT-Edit as a complete project.

See it the way you want
VT-Edit allows you to examine your project in several ways: Storyboard, Timeline or an EDL Details view. Perhaps the best part is VT-Edit’s ability to view the same project in dual views at the same time, without exporting or updating. Work your project in the real-time view mode that makes the most sense at the moment: use the Storyboard for quick sequencing and trimming of initial edits, then begin working match points and composites in Timeline, and get a broad overview of assets in the Spreadsheet view. Switch views as you continue working. In a few short moments, you will realize this is an editor designed by veteran video producers who want to put the focus on real-time creation and experimentation.

Online quality, offline convenience
Whether you’re editing in uncompressed component or highly compressed VT-Edit supports EDL import and export, allowing the import of Grass Valley, CMX, Sony, and Excel; EDL lists can be loaded into either VT-Edit or even directly into the Digital Disk Recorder. An integrated RS422 and 1394 deck manager has full configurations for an unlimited number of decks, all with different settings. It features an easy-to-navigate spreadsheet entry format, easy mark-in and mark-out key controls and full deck control integration. Batch capture features frame-accurate capture, with time code analysis, recapture abilities, and it allows for plug-and-play expansion for future capture devices. Print-to-tape is supported in Batch Capture.
