The user interface in Edius 7 is built for efficiency rather than flashiness. It features a clean, customizable layout that prioritizes the timeline and the monitor. The software includes a robust set of color correction tools, a powerful mask filter, and high-quality audio normalization features. Furthermore, Edius 7 opened the door for better third-party integration, allowing editors to use plugins from companies like GenArts, NewBlueFX, and ProDAD directly within the interface.
