Developer's Description

By Avid Technology

The Avid Xpress Pro software offers professional video, audio, film, effects, and encoding tools plus custom music creation software for both Mac and PC platforms in a single box. The software supports native HDV and DVCPRO HD for acquisition, editing, and output; real-time effects and 2:3 pulldown insertion over FireWire; and Avid DNxHD encoding to create effects, transitions, and titles with uncompromised image quality. Avids unique Open Timeline enables users to mix HDV, DVCPRO HD, and Avid DNxHD formats with SD and DV media in the same timeline in real-time, eliminating the time-consuming process of incorporating media from multiple sources into a single project. This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.

What's new in version 5.8.4

When loading a progressive master clip into an interlace project, you will be prompted to perform a transcode. If you try to perform the transcode, you will receive a message indicating the "Transcode cannot be completed because the source contains an unsupported resolution." This is as designed. The editing application does not support transcoding from progressive to interlaced material.
Previously, you might have received an error when transcoding clips from OMF to MXF with no change in resolution. This has been fixed.
Previously, the source timecode might have shifted when performing an edit while capture. This has been fixed.
Previously, when performing a multi resolution ingest, parameters such as Tape name, Duration, and Tracks, might have changed. This caused problems with transferring clips between sites and archiving. This has been fixed.
Previously, the Pan & Zoom effect used drive letters when accessing the image to be used for the effect. This does not work in a collaborative environment because the drive is only valid on the system that created the effect. UNC paths are now used.
Previously, when logged in using a non-Administrator account, a capture or digital cut might not have been frame accurate on the Symphony Nitris. This has been fixed.
Previously, HD-SDI embedded audio output might have sounded distorted on some audio devices. This has been fixed.
Previously, HD-SDI embedded audio was not being output to the Panasonic AJ-HD1700 successfully. This has been fixed.
Previously, when you selected Render IN to OUT, not all the effects might have been rendered. This has been fixed.
Previously, when the editing application was indexing files, in a non Avid Interplay environment, you would receive out of memory errors. This has been fixed.
