What Makes SpeedEDIT So Fast

Printer FriendlyTell a Friend
NewTek SpeedEDIT™
What makes it the “World’s Fastest Video Editor?”
  • Edits Native Formats which means when editing HD and HDV, there is no time wasted transcoding clips as an offline process. Use the HDV or HD clips as they were shot without waiting for proxies.
  • Real-time HD previews means no intermediaries. Drop an HD clip onto the timeline from a folder and it is ready to scrub and play. Avoid time wasted converting or rendering clips when you could be building your project.
  • Auto-insert fades One keystroke. That’s all it takes to insert smooth fades into a selected region or your entire project. Keep building your story, without even thinking about the process behind it.
  • All clips processed in HD resolution transparently scales standard-definition clips up to High-definition
  • Modify project WHILE it plays offers the flexibility of adding or deleting clips from your project. WHILE it plays. That is flexible.
  • Global In/Out adjustment allows you to lasso a group of clips and with one gesture, shorten, lengthen, rotate or color-correct the entire region at once.
  • Clip roll-over previews in the file bin lets you choose the shot you want from among numerous takes, and drag it straight to Timeline or Storyboard, without importing or creating intermediaries or converting or…
  • Quick Copy Clips by just holding down the Ctrl key and drag a fresh copy, complete with all settings from the original.
  • Clip Inherit is one of SpeedEDIT’s coolest features. If you have already edited, sized or positioned a clip, it can be effortlessly replaced with another by just holding down the Alt key while dragging the new clip on top. All of the already created properties are instantly applied to the new clip.
  • Background Rendering for HD and multi-layered SD projects that require more disk bandwidth than your hard drive can provide. SpeedEDIT has dynamic background renders that keep your complex comps ready for playback as soon as possible. Make a small change, and only that adjusted portion re-draws in the background for rapid feedback.
  • Undo/Redo stack is saved to disk with your project file. Load that project tonight, tomorrow or two years from now, and you can undo your steps back to the project’s first action • Classify clips by color to visually distinguish between audio narration, music clips and background efx; pinpoint problem areas from your last session; have the freedom in this session to mark something for later…and keep telling your story.
  • Cuts to music (or narration) allow clip markers to set outpoints, ripple in and repeat across the entire audio file. Build a highlights reel in seconds.
  • Combining SD & HD on the timeline is as big as the clips you’ll be editing. Anything can be edited alongside or on top of anything else. Mixing your existing library into your new HD clips never gets in the way of the story, as there’s no converting or re-scaling to distract you. • Full resolution Hi Def previews High-Definition brings not just more pixels, but more clarity, detail and subtle coloration. Accurately monitor your progress without having to guess on low resolution image ‘previews’.
  • Many More reasons vault SpeedEDIT to the top of the list of video editors for speed and flexibility, and we urge you to visit an authorized NewTek reseller to see for yourself.
