The latest update for EDIUS NLE software, version 4.6, is now available as a free download from http://desktop.grassvalley.com

This update includes several improvements and bug fixes, as well as all of the new features found in previous v4.5 updates.

To download this update, log into the Web site and choose Product-related Downloads. From there, you should see either 'EDIUS Pro v4' or 'EDIUS Broadcast v4' from the list, depending on which program you registered. Choose the appropriate product.

Scroll down to the 'Updates' section and the v4.6 update will be there.

This release incorporates all previous releases of v4.5x, and is an updater only, which means that you need to have a previous version of EDIUS v4.xx installed. (ie. you cannot install this update on a fresh system)

A full installer Disc Image (ISO) will be available soon.

New features added in this release (from v4.54) - All Versions:
  • 1920x1080/23.97p project preset for Generic OHCI Output Profile
  • Some extra functions can now have mapped keyboard shortcuts
  • Support for consolidating MPEG Long-GOP clips
  • Support for insert edit when outputting to DV tape
  • Improved the speed of MPEG-2 segment encoding
  • Improved the seeking performance of native AVCHD clips

New features added in this release (from v4.54) - EDIUS Broadcast only:
  • Support for import of native XDCAM EX format files
  • Support for XDCAM SAM (Simple Access Mode) – you can now edit with high-res audio preview while editing with metadata or proxy clips (on supported devices)
  • Support for Grass Valley K2 SAN server connections via a new release of the K2Connect utility
  • Support for QoS for capturing to SNFS
  • Support for bitlayering (virtual proxy) playback of native Infinity JPEG 2000 stream files – choose between three quality settings for smooth playback on lower-end edit systems
  • New Infinity Ingest utility for importing Infinity DMC/DMR content

Issues fixed in this version (from v4.54):
  • Fixed issues when creating new presets after starting EDIUS
  • Fixed an issue that would cause errors when playing back MPEG TS files from SAN shared drives
  • Fixed an issue where the image preview within the Video Layout Tool would appear as solid grey when opening muted title track
  • Fixed an issue that caused the characters within clip names to overlap in the BIN window
  • Fixed an issue where the focus of BIN clips would sometimes move arbitrarily
  • Fixed an issue that would cause EDIUS to freeze when searching offline clips from recently used files
  • Fixed an issue that resulted in the IN point of a clip to be shifted when using Soft Slide-Left
  • Fixed an issue where a few frames of a clip would go missing when using Soft-Slide
  • Fixed an issue where if new presets were continuously created, EDIUS would crash
  • Fixed an issue that allowed the name of default style to be changed or deleted in Quick Titler
  • Fixed an issue that prevented support of AAF files created by Sony’s PDZ-1 software
  • Fixed an issue with Quick Titler where menu operations and associated shortcut keys had differing results
  • Fixed an issue where "select all files" was permitted in the Save dialog, with some of exporters
  • Fixed an issue that caused the timeline edit cursor to move when changing the timeline scale
  • Fixed an issue where the GXF Exporter could not output files from DV projects or NTSC D1 projects
  • Fixed an issue where clips registered to the Bin window with XDSelect would not have their waveform cache file created automatically
  • Fixed an issue that would cause EDIUS to crash if a file transfer within GXF Exporter was cancelled
  • Fixed an issue where AAF files exported between an In and Out point would result in the wave file's timecode becoming corrupted
  • Fixed an issue where capture would not start when selecting "Capture entire clip" in the "Restore offline clip" dialog box
  • Fixed an issue where button assignments that were changed for the timeline window were not saved
  • Fixed an issue that resulted in EDIUS not loading Motion-JPEG AVI files correctly
  • Fixed an issue with Canopus DVD Creator, where if a movie was added with the [Add File] button, the added file would be set to a 4:3 aspect ratio
  • Fixed an issue that caused EDIUS to become unresponsive after saving a project that included MPEG-4 clips
  • Fixed an issue with the K2Connect utility, where if a new file is downloaded after a project is exported with the GXF SpeedEncoder exporter, K2Connect would crash

I'm kinda reluctant to keep updating just because of the large file sizes. Is there a particular reason for the file sizes? Just wondering...
 
We wish they were smaller too... takes the greater part of a day for us to download from the engineering site. Lucky for our users, after we get them we put them on a content distribution network, so it's WAY faster for the world to get them.
 
The V4.6 Full Install ISO image was released earlier today, using that you can install FROM SCRATCH without having to install V4.0 and then playing the patch game.

It's a large file (>2GB), but if you have the bandwidth to download it, it could save you considerable time and frustration if you upgrade your hardware or need to reinstall for some reason.
 
Edius V4.61 is out, here is the announcement from the official Thomson / Grass Valley Edius support forum:
The latest update for EDIUS NLE software, version 4.61, is now available as a free download from http://desktop.grassvalley.com

This update includes several improvements and bug fixes, as well as all of the new features found in previous v4.x updates.

To download this update, log into the Web site and choose Product-related Downloads. From there, you should see either 'EDIUS Pro v4' or 'EDIUS Broadcast v4' from the list, depending on which program you registered. Choose the appropriate product.

Scroll down to the 'Updates' section and the v4.61 update will be there.

This release incorporates all previous releases of v4.x, and is an updater only, which means that you need to have a previous version of EDIUS v4.xx installed. (ie. you cannot install this update on a fresh system)

Issues fixed in this version (from v4.6):
  • Fixed an issue when rendering sequenced image files on the timeline
  • Fixed an issue with project consolidation which contained a clip with a negative speed setting (reverse playback)
  • Fixed an issue when using the Convert function in the EDIUS bin window on sequenced image files that contained alpha information (the alpha information was discarded)

  • Fixed issues that would cause EDIUS to crash, when scrubbing sequenced image files on a timeline
  • Fixed an issue with voiceover recording (the recording sampling rate was wrong)

  • Fixed an issue with exporting of AAF files, when any clip speed is changed from 100%
  • Improved VMF playback performance (applicable to certain environments)
Known Issues:
