Canopus Corporation today announced an update to EDIUS Pro 3 professional nonlinear editing software and new Format Support Modules that let editors customise EDIUS editing solutions with formats specific to their studio set-up. The update to EDIUS Pro 3 includes new professional features, such as HQ batch capture from HDV, advanced audio tools and precise colour correction controls, designed to help editors create the highest quality productions. Canopus will be demonstrating EDIUS Pro 3.3 and the Format Support Modules next week in Las Vegas at NAB 2005 in booth SL325.
