EDIUS X marks the start of a new era in nonlinear editing. EDIUS X comes with a completely redesigned core engine along with a modular concept allowing even more performance for fully customizable workflows. For almost two decades, EDIUS hallmark has been its stability, benchmark setting performance and creative tools. EDIUS is being used across the industry from broadcast facilities and newsgathering organizations up to government institutions, corporate productions, independent filmmakers, video creators and video enthusiasts.
EDIUS X’s new modular design enables Grass Valley to continuously update and enhance the EDIUS X feature set and workflow options. This allows to meet upcoming user demands and incorporate new technologies and web services into the software itself — such as machine learning during the ongoing development of EDIUS X. All EDIUS 10.x update releases will be available free of charge during the expected lifecycle of about two to three years.
FEATURES OF EDIUS X VERSION 10.0
From the start, EDIUS X features exciting new modules and functions, including:
Background Rendering: EDIUS X will never ask you to interrupt your editing for a process to finish. This makes your workflow smooth, creative, and virtually unstoppable.

EDIUS X comes bundled with three great new modules for optimizing audio, title creation and video effects. All modules are especially customized to utilize EDIUS X’s new core design benefits.
These are:
Audio Optimization: EDIUS X comes bundled with the exclusive EDIUS Editions of Acon Digital: Compress EE, DeNoise EE, DeVerberate EE and Limit EE. Those powerful and easy to apply audio filters work like a swiss army knife whenever an editor needs to work on correcting and optimizing audio and VA tracks.
Professional Titling: EDIUS X features the NewBlue Titler Pro 7 in a special EDIUS X customized version that includes an extended template package. This ensures maximal stability and performance. Titler Pro 7 offers new handling and design features for professional titling, animated graphics, rolling titles and lower-thirds.

All presets can be customized and adapted to the user’s individual footage. The seamless transitions also work great on animating titles and graphics. Additionally, proDAD Vitascene V4 EDIUS Edition includes over 250 great filters and transitions of Vitascene 3 LE.
Canadian video hard- and software manufacturer Grass Valley has released the latest version of their Windows-only nonlinear editing software EDIUS, now named EDIUS X.
EDIUS has been around for almost twenty years and it is used mostly in the broadcast-industry but it has made inroads in corporate, government, and enthusiast film production. While certain companies are eager to get rid of the capital “X” (macOS, anyone?), Grass Valley has embraced it to designate it’s latest 10.0 release of the software EDIUS X.

New Features
EDIUS is known for being able to edit almost any codec under the sun without transcoding, which makes it a fast and snappy NLE. This is also the reason why it’s popular in the broadcast industry. It seems Grass Valley has built on that proven concept and added much needed features that are common in many other NLEs. Mind you that the following is taken from their PR:
