About Us

Ediustips.com was started a few years ago when I was making the transition from editing with Adobe Premier, to working with Edius. Edius was still early in it's development and was suffering from a number of "growing pains". Still, I found it to be a very flexible and powerful program that delivered great looking video, and in spite of some frustrations, I ended up staying with Edius and still edit most of my projects with it, even though I have other options.

As a way to encourage others to take a serious look at Edius, I started posting some tips and tricks to help people get rolling with the program. I was amazed to see the traffic results, as thousands of visitors showed up! Two years went by and, even though I did was not able to keep the site updated, I was still getting a lot of curious visitors to the site, not to mention email of encouragement and appreciation for the articles. A number of readers have emailed me, asking me to bring the site up to date. As a result I have decided to spend some time and get the site current with the latest release of the software, Edius Pro 4.6

However, it should be known that Ediustips.com is not meant in any way to be an official manual on Edius. The information offered at this web site is for your consideration only. Due to the fact that every user will have a unique installation that is effected by hardware and other background software, actual results may vary. No guarantees are offered or implied! Any work lost as a result of following suggestions, tips and tutorials found at this web site, is the hazard one must take when learning a new program and are sole responsibility of the reader!  It is understood that the user assumes all risks!

Also, it should be noted that Ediustips.com is NOT and official site of Canopus/Grass Valley. It is not the intention of this site to be an official "help desk" for Edius. Other then apprecitive readers who send in a donation to help "keep the tips rolling", I receive no compensation for this site. I might be able to answer the odd email question that comes in, but often I am off on a shoot in some remote location and do not have access to email. To get quick answers to your questions about Edius, I recommend you join the Edius Forum user group and post your question there. You will most likely receive an answer to your question within the hour.

Your comments, observations, corrections and criticisms are always welcome! Direct them to comments@ediustips.com. I'll get around to them when I get back from my next shoot!

Happy Editing!
