NewTek, maker of innovative and industry-standard video and 3D animation products, is launching its newest creation, SpeedEDIT™, The World’s Fastest Video Editor, November 14. Simultaneous launch events are planned in New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, Chicago and Dallas.

NewTek SpeedEDIT™ is nonlinear editing software with a unique next-generation workflow, allowing you to focus on what’s most important – telling your story. SpeedEDIT™ brings a more efficient workflow with resolution-independent, aspect independent and format agnostic editing to any video project, from web streams to Hi Definition (HD), helping you transition smoothly into HD production, editing Standard Definition (SD) and HD clips on the same timeline.

“With so many editors that are accustomed film editing workflows, the problem today is that we are no longer editing film. In fact, most of Hollywood is leaving film behind. When designing SpeedEDIT, NewTek focused on the goal of developing the fastest way to edit digital video on a computer hard drive,” explains Philip Nelson, NewTek Vice President of Sales and Video Marketing. “SpeedEDIT lives up to the moniker of ‘World’s Fastest Video Editor’ as it avoids transcoding used in other professional editors and allows you to mix most popular formats like AVI, QuickTime, MPEG-2 and HDV in real-time. SpeedEDIT also dynamically links a timeline and storyboard views to put the focus on storytelling instead of technique.”

PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Toronto, Canada – December 12, 2006 – eyeon Software Inc. announced today that Fusion 5.1 is now available. The node-based compositor combines the benefits of an integrated 2D and 3D multi-processor architecture with an advanced collaborative workflow management system.

Fusion 5.1 boasts an impressive growth in features to streamline the workflow and push production capabilities. Some of the numerous features include:

The 3D system has new tools for projection and geometry manipulation, such as bending and displacement. The Open GL interface exploits additional GPU power to deliver more realistic lighting. Further enhancements include importing of models and scenes in FBX, OBJ and 3DS.

Fusion’s unique flow workspace has new organizational improvements to help layout compositions, with elbow nodes to control the flow and custom colorization for rapid identification of key areas.

Paint introduces new multi-stroke cloning that dramatically speeds up the performance of retouching, dust busting, and general painting.

Version 5.1 also introduces a new Render Slave called Console Slave. This is a command line-driven version to better interface with third party render managers.

“Fusion has matured into something unique - the glue that binds the post-production pipeline more closely than ever before.”

Isaac Guenard, Senior Product Manager, eyeon Software USA

Pricing and Availability Fusion 5.1 is a free upgrade for all existing Fusion 5 owners and is available via download. Digital Fusion 4 and DFX+ 4 upgrade prices remain the same. Please visit www.eyeonline.com for additional information or contact sales as detailed below.
