This update contains bug fixes and improvements, and is an official localized version. This release includes all previous updates for EDIUS v4 software.

Important Note: XDCAM and P2 functions are only supported with EDIUS Broadcast software. Grass Valley K2 GXF export support requires a new EDIUS Broadcast dongle. Please contact your reseller if you purchased an EDIUS Broadcast product prior to 11/12/2006 and require K2 GXF export support.

Improvements from the previous version (v4.03):

XDCAM HD import, editing and export support (updated XDCAM select utility)
Proxy editing of XDCAM SD and XDCAM HD content
Background transfer of P2 material with P2 Select (when the transfer is completed, registered clips on the P2 card will be relinked to clips on the hard drive)
Grass Valley K2 GXF export support
When the In/Out points are set on the timeline, if a new clip is created on a timeline track (i.e., Creating a title on the T track), the new clip can be inserted between the In/Out points
Audio can be converted directly to 16bit/2ch when capturing from a source that has differing audio properties
Defaults can be set for Sync mode, Ripple mode, and Insert/Overwrite editing when starting new projects
Added a realtime audio "Pitch Shifter" to the Audio Filters
Destination folder and filenames can be specified before capturing video
Added further information and import/export of video and audio file formats (import AVI2 Type1, import and export *.DV files, view metadata of WAV, Ogg and AVI files)


Issues fixed in this version Include: EDIUS automatically shuts down when trimming a title clip created by Quick Titler
Problem with some fonts with Quick Titler
Field error when cancelling the HQ AVI output in a HDCAM 1080/29.97 project
Incorrect output (Save between In/Out in sequential files)

EDIUS not responding when analog input is enabled on a DELL Precision490 with EDIUS SP hardware
Rendering of a sequence becomes invalid when subsequently opening the Application Settings
Intermittent failure to cancel grouping
Inability to save the frame of the cursor when saving a still picture using Ctrl+T
Improved PAL-NTSC conversion and resolution scaling in ProCoder Express for EDIUS
