The software's ease of use would be the main highlight since the primary use it gets, at least for me, is for quick, efficient editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There's a lot of limitations creatively since the basic premise is to be accessible. You can't do some of the same advanced editing that you'd be able to do within Premiere or Final Cut. It's not like using Movie Maker or iMovie, but truly advanced editors will find it a downgrade. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
EDIUS Pro makes it much easier to find available transitions. Everything is conveniently located in a folder on the top right corner of the workspace. It helps you quickly turn an average video into something that looks more professional Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
EDIUS took a lot longer to open that most video editing software programs I've worked with including Final Cut Pro X. EDIUS would also crash at least once during my project and if I'm not consistently saving my project, then it would lead to a lot of lost material. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It has lots of features for editing. There are many inbuilt features that help you with editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It hangs a lot. When you try to edit many videos then sometimes it creates problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My favorite thing about this program is the ability to look at the two different types of video that you're editing at the same time. On the screen you can see what is on the timeline, and what is the source material. That's just a cool thing that I like about this program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This program doesn't have a lot of other programs that you can match it with like Photoshop does, sometimes they can get hard when you're trying to edit across multiple platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love EDIUS because it imports and edits all formats - from smart phones all the way up to leading digital cinema cameras, without conversion. Not only that, it edits and renders faster than ANY other editor (I compare EDIUS to the major players like Resolve, Premiere and Finally Cut Pro). The ability to colour grade using LUT's, keys and masks, all in 10bit, in real time is another reason I've never switched in 10 years. Beware of other reviewers on here who have only played with EDIUS for an afternoon - it takes a while to really get know this software and it's power, but when you do, you'll never look back :) The latest version even supports HDR workflows (rec.2020 colour spaces!). This program is NOT just for News editors and quick turnarounds - it's for anyone who wants a super stable, fast and powerful editing platform that supports more camera formats than any other, AND has a range of very powerful and creative filters that can produce very high end results. Did I mention that it's pay once, own forever? None of this subscription based nonsense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'd love to see EDIUS process video at even higher bit-depths, like 12 or 16-bit (or even 32bit float like Davinci Resolve). 10-bit is fine and enough for HDR delivery, but hey. Image sequence support is also a pain (slow), even though it works, it could be better. I also don't like how the bin is refreshed every time focus is taken away from the program, once you return it slows things down for a while if there are hundreds of clips.

I use edius as a daily editing system and have found that it can take a beating and get the job done. Nothing too fancy about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It crashes quite a bit and you need 3rd party software to make it doing anything worthwhile Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that Edius Pro is easy to use. I've used other editing softwares before and Edius is simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are glitches the system as no technology is ever perfect. There are times when the software doesn't send or export things the way I want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The interconnectivity included in this software surpasses most industry's standards. The system is capable of sending information to the control room which is linked to the rundowns and visible to the technical directors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I disliked the random system crashes which mostly affected the whole news operation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Edius is intuitive for news editing. It has the features you need but not many you don't (for example, you don't need crazy effects for most news stories). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A few effects are difficult to put in. For example, the "Ken Burns effect" requires using something called "3D box in box." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like how simple it is to use. Any editing tool you need is relatively easy to find and work exactly like you would expect based on other similar systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish there were more transitions that seemed natural. Dissolve is the only transition for video I use frequently-- the rest seem to be a little too much for most stories and too dramatic Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Edius is a very simple and straight forward video editing software. Where it lacks in some of the more in depth features that other software spans, it makes up in its straight forward and user friendly approach. For news editing, it does the job perfectly. Anyone from a seasoned editing professional, to a first time user can pick this product up and get the grasp of video editing with minimal effort or stress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some of the preset video effects have no real use in the newsroom. Others are not user friendly in terms of manipulating them. If you find there is a filter or effect you are needing that is not pre-installed, the only option that I have been able to come up with is to go and find a third-party willing to sell what you're looking for. I could not see using this product for professional video editing, as it does not come stock with a lot of the features users would hope for in a video editing software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The program is very simple to use, accomplishes many of the "basic" necessities when it comes to editing video for a daily newscast in a small-to-medium sized news market. As far as basic controls and abilities go, it seems to be very compatible with other video editing programs - most new hires are able to pick it up within a few editing sessions. The age range of reporters using this program spans from as young as 22 to as old as 60 and everybody seems to understand how the program works (even if only in its primal usage). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Inconsistencies during "high traffic" times during the day. When many reporters are using the program on the same network at the same time, it tends to lag or "pause and think" very often. And while I am not an "Edius expert," it does not seem to be extremely in-depth as far as capabilities go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Edius is the fastest editing software I've used. It has a lot of keyboard shortcuts and interface tweaks to streamline cutting footage that other editors don't have. We use it exclusively in our tv work and it makes us reach deadlines with ease. I doesn't contain any unnecessary plugins or addons. It's GUI is easy, plain and simple - just the way we like it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think the interface could use a graphical redesign - it's functional but not pretty. Edius also lacks custom plugin support, I don't have access to many plugins that I use like NeatVideo Denoise, Magic Bullet Looks, Filmconvert and Warp Stabilizer. We have to have a dedicated station with a different program for that. Exporting engine could have more codecs for more variety in delivering the content. I also found that big projects with a lot of files tend to crash a lot and not load very fast. It's something they have to work on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Edius has a familiar interface and it does the job, but it's not a particularly impressive tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Edius is in an awkward position between high end and low end editing systems. It lacks the flexibility of tools like Premiere Pro and Final Cut and doesn't have the power of programs like Media Composer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Compared to other video editing software such as Vegas, this has a lot of features with a reasonable price. It's much smoother than its predecessor, and overall creates a sleek and powerful editing experience. The T2 Video Recorder is great for building small workflows and systems. Something fairly pleasing to me is the integration of hardware and software solutions that allow for file management and proxy based editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is a lack of documentation for certain features included in the package, such as TitleMotion Pro, which thereby require the user to go online to research the use. The learning curve is thus a bit high, and the massive amount of features (which, normally, is a good thing), sometimes can confuse new users on my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Of all of the video cutting programs out there; Edius may have the best mixture of simplicity and effectiveness. Edius may not have as many features for cutting/editing video, but overall is great for piecing together or cutting. All of the main tools you need are right in front of you and well marked. The only drawbacks are the inability to easily color correct and adjust audio. These features still exist but they can be a pain. A great analogy for Edius is "Adobe Premier Pro for Dummies", while there is nothing wrong with Edius it is simply a simpler editing program than some of the other pricier ones out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The color correction and audio adjustments can be frustrating. It just takes a while to get it to a high quality level. Pictures can be a problem too but generally are easier than the former. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love the ease of use that edius provides, so long as you are looking for basic editing in a fast and easy system edius will work fine. I also love edius' keyboard shortcut layout, the layout really serves to provide some advance tools at your fingertips. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Edius feels clunky. if you are looking to fine tune an edit then you are really best served with something else. edius knows what it is best at, and that's where it shines. Beyond a basic edit edius really falls apart quickly. I have also found that natively Edius doesnt offer a lot of file type support, I am converting videos more often than I would like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The render times are extremely quick. No sitting around for 50 hour render times. Will accept (almost) any file codec. Also - the auto save is a life saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The interface is limited for basic motion graphics. If you want to make flashy commercials for a client, pick another program. But if you want to accept a ton of footage and create a story that's broadcast functional - this is the program for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The program has easy and ergnomic interface.This is a key feature on prefering topic for a video editing industry. Also you can working on almost all modern video formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can't say I love color grading and balance unit performance for Edius.I meant while using on default or optimal level version according to other top class editing softwares.Of course if you install external color grading supporter softwares you can see very productive performance on this program Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the that it's easy to navigate with many click and drag ability that other softwares don't have but it has more than enough structure in the professional work space to function that way. You can make middle edits in the middle of projects without getting in the way of what you've already done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't like some of the presets. I realize that some of them are based off the workplace I'm at (those are the basic setup for many people) but they seem to be easily avoidable. I sometimes find myself search for different function on the spot directly above the timeline and if it's not there I can't easily get to it elsewhere. Importing video (again partially based on where I work) can take a large amount of time and it's not easily done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love the simplicity of Edius. If you are working on lower end (simple) productions, Edius will be perfect for you. It is very easy to learn. For basic BROLL, VOs, SOTs and packages, Edius will do all you need it to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If you are working on higher quality projects, Edius may not be for you. It is not used at many other media outlets (especially outside of local news) so you may not be able to take these skills and experience to other positions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Simplicity is the best Edius advantage. Software have essentials features needed to edit professional video or film. Big advantage is that also run quicky in contrast to other software. I use it daily and I really appreciate this features. I recoomend Edius for begginer users so they can quickly learn about essentials of edit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Only thing that I'm not super happy is additional plugins but I use them rarely so it is not big defect. Another thig is that Edius is not much popular in my country so if I had problems with it I must looking for english support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
