Cons
Grass Valley
  • I would like to see some improvement with keys effects, and specifically Chroma Keys and Masks.
  • Adjustment layers like Adobe Premiere would be a nice feature too.
  • EDIUS of course has adjustment layers as filters, but it would be most convenient to have separate adjustment layers on the timeline.

  • Importing files is easy but sometimes difficult to locate.
  • This might be user error but making folders within the imported files would be nice to have.
  • I don't use special effects that often but sometimes they are difficult to find again.

Return on Investment
Grass Valley
  • It's value for money index is excellent.
  • We received back our investment more or less after couple of weeks of using that internally and stopped outsourcing editing.
