How does it compare to the ‘heavy hitters’ like Avid and Premire Pro?
My understanding is that Edius is lacking in some advanced areas like alpha support, plus there aren’t many plugins for it, but other than that it’s pretty good. The main claim to fame is impressive real-time performance, either with or without optional hardware cards like Edius NX. It also apparently has some of the best support available for the latest HD formats, including most camera-specific HDV modes and excellent DVCProHD support in the "Broadcast" version of the product.
