NLE functions at your hand

In a sense, Viz EasyCut fills the gap between Viz PreCut and full blown third-party NLE systems like Apple's FinalCut Pro. It provides NLE functions such as rubber band, clip and track level audio adjustments, back-to-back audio crossfades, waveform plots, video dissolves, timeline transfers, voice over tools and aspect ratio conversions.

Naturally, Viz EasyCut also fully integrates with Vizrt's MAM systems Viz Ardome and Viz Video Hub; users can edit video files while they are being ingested instead of having to wait for the transfer to finish. It is even possible for multiple users to work on the same base material simultaneously and for each to create their own new clips from it.

And probably the best thing about Viz EasyCut is that all the functionality is right there at the users' fingertips. The GUI is very easy to use and features full hot-key support. With all the functionality concentrated on the journalist's desktop, video editing has just become a whole lot easier.

Viz Precut if you need a quick and easy tool from your newsroom system

Viz PreCut makes the journalists' work easier and more efficient. It allows them to open low-resolution versions of video files and roughly cut them in a way that suits their story best.

Even though Viz PreCut is a tool for the newsroom, it has many features that can normally only be found in more complex applications: Users can browse files while they are being ingested without having to reload the entire clip. No need to send files across the network or to try to explain the video editor how and where to cut a certain clip.
