Professional Video Editing Software
Quote:
"Avid Xpress DV v3.5 is built on a revolutionary
real-time architecture that delivers more than 100 customizable
real-time effects, professional-level color correction with
waveform and vectorscope analysis, and multiple simultaneous
real-time streams - all in software. You can preview a title,
apply a dissolve, perform color correction, and animate a
picture-in-picture effect simultaneously - all without
rendering. And only Avid Xpress DV v3.5 allows you to customize
every parameter of every real-time effect and see it all right
away. Avid gives you the creative freedom you want and the image
quality you need to deliver professional-grade video on a
desktop, laptop, or mountaintop - anywhere your imagination
takes you."
Some notes on Avid:
Avid does not like AMD Athlon based systems or AMD MP/Opteron based systems.
Visit Avid for compatibility issues and note that straying outside of Avid's
strict requirements could make your system unstable/unusable. Use certified
products and certified drivers.
You need Windows XP Pro (not Home) to run Avid Express DV 3.5.
You need to keep a USB port free for the Dongle. Avid will not work without
it. If you lose or break it Avid will replace the dongle but it may take a few
days.
Use a Texas Instruments based Firewire card only. When using Avid avoid
proprietary Capture/Editing cards like the DVStorm2 and Matrox RT.X100. To see
what chipset your firewire card has go to the Device Manager in Windows.
Avid is a software only solution and relies on the performance of the PC
rather than any video editing cards you have.
