NewTek SpeedEDIT Now Supports Windows Vista (27/4/2007)

NewTek, Inc., manufacturer of industry-leading video and 3D animation products, today announced that SpeedEDIT(tm), its award-winning nonlinear editing software, is now compatible with Microsoft's new Windows(r) Vista(tm) Operating System. SpeedEDIT owners can download the free update that improves display speeds while editing.

NewTek SpeedEDIT brings a more efficient video editing workflow, independently mixing resolutions aspects and formats within any video project.

"SpeedEDIT's resolution independence and wide acceptance of all major video formats means that editors cutting DV today will be ready for the upgrade to HD."

Microsoft's new operating system offers some advantages to SpeedEDIT users, including faster application loading and the ability to shadow copy daily restore points for system recovery.

SpeedEDIT features include:

¥ Resolution independence, mixing SD & HD clips in real-time ¥ Frame-rate independence ¥ Aspect independence ¥ Optimized for Dual and Quad-core systems ¥ Real-time, full-resolution HDV previews ¥ Linked storyboard and timeline views ¥ CG Post(tm) animated titling
