BC. What new features can we expect to see in version 4 of Edius? Features that users of V3 would like to see include advanced key-framing for effects; full alpha support for effects and matte; AC3 surround-sound on the timeline and for export; rampable speed changes; multi-cam editing (as Canopus showed at NAB); and nested sequences
HY. All these things will be supported in V4 except for the matte feature
BC. When will V4 of Edius be arriving?
HY. There will be two versions. The first to arrive will be a version for broadcast in February 2006. We will be showing a full line-up of Edius products at next year's NAB. The mass-market version of Edius 4 will arrive in April.
BC. Will Canopus move its NX and SP editing cards over to PCI Express? If so, when?
HY. We'll have a PCI Express board available when there are dual-Xeon motherboards with 2x or better PCI Express slots.
