San Francisco, Calif., October 20, 2011 —
Grass Valley™ has announced that, as part of a special competitive upgrade promotion, users of Apple's Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, and Avid's Media Composer can now upgrade to EDIUS
® 6 nonlinear editing program for just $399. That's 50 percent off the regular price.
Thanks to the new promotion, which is only available through the end of this year, users upgrading can enjoy all of the real-time signal processing and multi-format support (on the same timeline) of the EDIUS system's suite of professional tools.

For example, the latest version of EDIUS (version 6.05, distributed free of charge to registered version 6.0 users from the Grass Valley driver download page), brings new video file formats and hardware-assisted H.264 encoding, This latest update also supports both 50p & 60p file import, allowing for a smoother workflow within EDIUS 6.
"This activity is being sparked by Apple's recent dramatic changes to the Final Cut editing product, but we thought that Avid and Adobe customers should benefit too," said Charlie Dunn, Executive Vice President of Products for Grass Valley. "We're committed to the professional production marketplace for the long term and will continue to advance the program's many capabilities for the benefit of our customers, and anyone that wants to produce high-quality content faster and more efficiently."
