Editing Done Right
Open Timeline.
Want to work with more than one HD format at the same time? Or mix HD and SD footage? Maybe even have some film footage in the mix? Skip the pain of transcoding. Only Avid Xpress Pro software allows you to combine video and film formats and resolutions in their native form, on the same timeline, in real time.
Edit faster.
Avid Xpress Pro software features the most flexible, customizable editing toolset you've ever seen. Best of all, everything is designed for speed, accuracy and, above all, the protection of your work. Drive edits with your mouse or your keyboard; unique model editing means that you can edit as fast as you think.
Customizable toolsets.
We know the best way to edit is your way. Every workspace can be arranged to suit you and then saved—so that they reopen the same way, every time. Customize keyboard shortcuts and settings for additional controllers like the Digi 002 audio control surface. Take these settings with you and use them on any Avid system, anywhere in the world.
Real-time Avid multicam editing.
Avid offers the industry's most powerful real-time multicam editing with the industry's only mixed-resolution clip grouping capability: mix HD, uncompressed SD, DV and film, each in their native format, with no transcoding required.
Custom metadata and Custom Sift.
Out of the box, Avid Xpress Pro software tracks more kinds of metadata than anyone else. You can also add as many custom fields as you want: simply click in a bin column heading and type away. Use any of these provided or customized fields as the basis for media-based searches across projects and volumes to find information far beyond the reach of OS-level searches.
Script-based editing.
Changes to your screenplay are automatically reflected in your editing timeline. In fact, you can edit without touching the timeline at all. Arrange paragraphs to arrange scenes and trim clips when you trim words from your script.
