Editing Suites

Avid Xpress™ (Elite) for Windows NT® Suite

The Avid Xpress system is the fastest, most creative way to create high-quality video and multimedia content.
Designed with unique breakthrough technologies, the Avid Xpress system lets you produce content faster than
any other digital video system in its class. So you can not only deliver the highest-quality content, but achieve
significant productivity increases and cost savings as well.

The Avid Xpress system gives you this unprecedented speed and creativity through these substantial advantages:

Avid's One-Step™ Technology
More real-time features
More built-in functionality
Industry-leading image and audio quality
Easy fit in a multi-platform workflow

One-Step Technology lets you accomplish the most common editing and creative tasks in the fewest possible steps.
The following are some examples of how One-Step Technology puts content creation speed and power at your
fingertips.

Tight Timeline Editing
Each shot edited to the timeline is
automatically joined with the shots around it,
eliminating the need for a second step to close
gaps between shots.

Single Track Transitions
Avid Xpress uses a single-track
editing model. With a single drag-and-drop motion
you place a transition directly on the transition point
between shots, eliminating the need to place shots
on the correct tracks, line up overlaps, and apply
the transition to a third effects track.

32 Levels of Undo/Redo
32 levels of undo and redo make it
easy to go back and make changes or view a
previous version of a cut.

Matchframe
Park your cursor on the timeline and with a
single click recall the source for the shot or audio
track where your cursor is parked.

Pop-Up Source Monitors
Double-click on a clip in a bin to
open its source monitor with its own toolbar for playback,
modification, and editing. You can keep several pop-ups
open at once for quick access to multiple shots.

Sift
Sift through source material using several simultaneous
criteria, eliminating the need to search through material and
locate specific shots manually.

Consolidate
Keep useful material and delete unwanted
material in one simple step, maximizing disk space, leading to
greater efficiency and cost savings.
