Like no other NLE EDIUS Pro 9 is capable of a real-time-editing, real-time up- and down-scaling, framerate- and format-conversion allowing mixing all kinds of different formats and footage on one timeline. If you work in HD then simply move any 4/3-SD-file onto the timeline, just mix NTSC- and PAL-footage, add some 4K-shots and footage with different framerates. EDIUS Pro 9 takes care of any needed real-time conversion with no time wasted on manual transcoding or rendering queues.
EDIUS Pro 9 supports resolutions from 24x24 pixel up to 4Kx2K (4096x2048), all on one timeline, even nested in sequences, including alpha-channel (transparency) and all in real-time.
