NewTek SpeedEDIT™ is a resolution-independent video editor designed to work quickly and efficiently on any video project, from web streams to Standard
Definition (SD) to High-Definition(HD). SpeedEDIT™ works smoothly and natively with MPEG-2, AVI, QuickTime and most popular video formats in either SD or HD. Enjoy realtime, full resolution on-screen HD previews with FireWire output to camera or deck.

SpeedEDIT™ further accelerates your editing process by dynamically linking Storyboard and Timeline, which allows the performance of many common functions in fewer steps. Ripple edits, clip replacement, segment repositioning, 3D video rotation, colour correction, animated titles and Targa sequence playback are just a few of the everyday tasks that SpeedEDIT™ performs faster than any other professional editor.
