Innovative editing tools
------------------------
Edit SD, HD, 2K and 4K material in 2D or stereoscopic 3D, with
drag-and-drop functionality or traditional 3-point and 4-point
editing modes. The Ve Pro 12 interface provides an impressive
array of innovative tools and thoughtful touches, with a fully
customizable workspace for accomplishing a wide range of
production tasks. Nest Ve Pro projects within the timeline,
customize and save keyboard commands, and use application
scripting to automate repetitive tasks. The new Expanded Edit
Mode temporarily splits the track at the edit point and enables
you to dynamically add or remove frames from either side of the
edit point while the media is playing, creating a highly precise,
interactive editing experience.
Powerful effect and compositing engine
--------------------------------------
Combine up to 32 high-quality, keyframeable effects per Effects
Chain and apply them at the Event, Track, Media, or Project
level. Ve Pro 12 uses an advanced plug-in architecture based
on the OpenFX standard, for hundreds of optional effects from
leading visual effects developers. Parent-Child tracks and
sophisticated 2D and 3D compositing modes provide a powerful,
flexible effects environment. Shape ing tools and FX ing
capabilities are new for Ve Pro 12, along with the Color Match
plug-in, to quickly match the color characteristics from one clip
to another.
Shape ing tools
-------------------
While the Ve Pro Bezier ing Tool is powerful and accurate,
it can be overly complex for ing simple shapes. The new
rectangle/square and oval/circle ing Tools make it easy to
portions of the media by drawing the desired shape over the
appropriate areas.
Stereoscopic 3D editing
-----------------------
Create breathtaking stereoscopic 3D projects with the same ease
and agility as the Ve Pro 2D workflow. Ve Pro 12 provides
the ability to easily import, adjust, edit, preview, and output
stereoscopic 3D media — all using industry-standard professional
delivery formats including single or dual files with
side-by-side, top/bottom, or line-alternate encoding. Anaglyphic
monitoring and output are also supported. Stereoscopic
Auto-Pairing allows bulk pairing of stereoscopic 3D subclips on
the timeline, with the ability to automatically pair stereoscopic
3D media created with the Sony PMW-TD300 or a pair of PMW-F3
cameras using the 3D Link feature.
Titler Pro 1.0 from NewBlueFX
-----------------------------
Create high-quality titles with Titler Pro 1.0, a full-featured
titling application from NewBlueFX. Titler Pro enables users to
add animations, professional-style templates, and effects to
their title sequences. Work in real-time with GPU-accelerated
effects and transitions, and easily move text on the X, Y, and Z
axes within the Ve Pro 12 workspace. With 2D and 3D
capabilities, Titler Pro 1.0 is the perfect addition to the
stereoscopic 3D toolset.

Superior audio control
----------------------
Access unlimited audio tracks, 24-bit/192 kHz audio, punch-in
, 5.1 surround mixing, effects automation, and time
compress/expand, while applying customizable, real-time audio
effects like EQ, Reverb, Delay, and more. Expand your audio
processing and mixing options with supported third-party DirectX
and VST audio plug-ins. Ve Pro 12 includes support for new
64-bit versions of Sony's Noise Reduction 2.0, Wave Hammer,
Acoustic Mirror, and more. Use the Mixing Console for precise
audio control, with sample-based accuracy.
Powerful Blu-ray Disc authoring (included with Ve Pro 12 only;
not included with Ve Pro 12 Edit)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Burn movies to Blu-ray Disc directly from the Ve Pro 12
timeline for high-definition delivery. Use DVD Architect Pro
software to author DVD or Blu-ray Disc projects with subtitles,
multiple languages, and numerous playback menus. Preview and test
your work in real time. Import layered Photoshop .PSD files for
buttons and other graphic elements. The MainConcept AVC encoder
now supports variable bit rates up to 40 Mbps and average bit
rate of 25 Mbps, for better HD quality than ever before.
Broad format support
--------------------
Ve Pro pioneered the concept of format-native editing, and the
latest version continues that legacy by supporting today's most
popular camcorder formats including XDCAM, NXCAM, AVCHD, HDCAM
SR, DSLR h.264 QuickTime and RED. New for version 12 is support
for Sony's XAVC 4K format, Panasonic P2 DVCPRO and AVC-Intra
media. Projects can now be encoded to HDCAM SR MXF files, for
pristine quality edit masters.
Designed for performance
------------------------
64-bit operating systems are the best choice for high-end
performance. By focusing exclusively on 64-bit operating systems,
Ve Pro 12 overcomes many of the limitations of legacy 32-bit
software/hardware architecture, enabling users to enjoy superior
performance and improved stability for memory-intensive projects
and formats.
Working with OpenCL supported devices from AMD and NVIDIA, Ve
Pro 12 leverages GPU acceleration for video FX, transitions,
compositing, pan/crop, track motion and encoding, providing a
significantly faster workflow. GPU acceleration streamlines the
video editing experience in Ve Pro 12 by providing playback
performance gains and faster rendering times, ideal for industry
professionals who work on tight deadlines where every second
counts.

Smart Proxy workflow
--------------------
Create high-performance, edit-friendly Smart Proxy clips in the
Project Media view, to achieve faster playback on a wider variety
of hardware. Media will automatically and dynamically switch from
original to proxy based on the Preview playback settings. To
ensure optimum quality, original media files will be used for the
final render.
Project interchange
-------------------
Import and export a wide range of project files to and from Ve
Pro 12. The built-in software can convert between the native .veg
file and AAF, for Avid ProTools, XML for Apple Final Cut Pro 7,
Final Cut Pro X (export only) and DaVinci Resolve 8, and .prproj
for Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and After Effects CS6.
