FASTstudio.DV - Amazing new software from FAST!!!

  • Instant Save technology means that work is never lost in the event of a power failure.
  • Background rendering means not having to stop work just because the computer has work to do.
  • True multi-processor support means that if you pay for dual processors, you actually get to use them!

    With the launch of FASTstudio.DV on Windows 2000, FAST will make what many professional editors have lauded as the most promising new arrival on the NLE scene available to a much wider audience. A more sophisticated software toolkit – including OMF export, 3D effects and XSend connectivity with 3rd party QuickTime applications – will be provided by an optional Production Pack.

    FASTstudio is the FAST-engineered editing software that is easy to learn, fluid and flexible. There are no distracting pull-down menus, all essential functions are only a mouse-click away. FASTstudio focuses on what's important: images and sounds. FASTstudio is modern - built from the ground up to give functionality which is simply not available with other software. It has a freely and easily customizable user interface which has consistently won over users and critics alike with an outstanding workflow, intuitive design and feature rich environment. Unique, Instant Save technology means that work is never lost in the event of a power failure. Background rendering means not having to stop work just because the computer has work to do. And true multi-processor support means that if you pay for dual processors, you actually get to use them!

    FASTstudio.DV is a revolution for editors! Editors can now have the same professional software found on a USD 50,000 NLE for only $999. FAST again changes the rules by not restricting the software's main editing features just to lower the price. FASTstudio is used world-wide in the most demanding situations and our editors all agree that the technology and editing power in FASTstudio is simply amazing.
    FASTstudio is now also available as a software board-set package for desktop or notebook.
