1. A new editing platform that you can grow into
   As a video editing enthusiast, it’s important that you have the right tools to handle today and tomorrow's newest video formats such as HDV. You also want to know you have a wide selection of effects and the right tools to make sure they are applied to your video in just the way you like.  And finally, you need to know that you’re making the most out of the time you spend editing, not waiting for effects to render or chasing down the latest version of your project.  Studio 10’s new editing platform, built on the professionally esteemed Liquid Edition engine, ensures you all of this without losing the intuitive Studio user-interface that you’ve become accustomed to over the years.
   

2. Real-time Full Resolution Preview for Uninterrupted Workflow
   Immediately preview all of your projects in full resolution on your primary or secondary computer monitor at anytime. The real-time preview functionality is format independent so you can sample effects, titles and more and view the results in full resolution in all supported formats including HDV. Now you can make editorial decisions in real-time while your creativity is actively percolating.
   
   
3. Capture, Edit and Share Natively in High Quality HD
   Capture video from the latest consumer HD cameras, DVD video cameras and even cell phones. Once captured, instantly drag and drop your clips into the timeline and edit them in their native formats. Native editing means you don’t have to waste time and jeopardize quality with transcoding. With Studio Plus version 10, you can now capture, edit and share in MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4*, DV, AVI, Windows Media, DivX*, and HD with HDV.
   
   *Output of DivX & MPEG-4 files possible if codec installed on your PC. The import/editing of DixX and MPEG-4 files requires the Advanced Codec Pack, which is included with your Studio MediaSuite upgrade (or can be activated inside your Studio Plus upgrade for $9.99).
   
   
4. Mix and Match Formats in the Same Project
   Not only is there greatly expanded support for more sources and formats with Studio Plus version 10, now you can actually mix and match all of the supported formats with similar frame rates in one timeline. Many of the top professional editing applications do not include this feature.
   
   
5. More Control with Keyframing
   Keyframing gives you the added control of changing the characteristics of video plug-ins at any point in time. This enables you to create and line up video plug-ins with great accuracy to unique audio and vi deo queues. Imagine moving your picture-in-picture across the screen to follow a moving object in the primary video track? Or, varying the degree of a blur over time in a single clip. It’s all possible in Studio Plus version 10 with a few clicks of the mouse.
   
   
6. More Included Video/Audio Plug-Ins and Hollywood FX Transitions
   Studio Plus version 10 includes 11 new video plug-ins, three new audio plug-ins and two new Hollywood FX transition packs (32 new transitions in all). View demos online in upgrade configurator under ‘Why Upgrade’ link. Go there now>>

    Retain the highest quality while saving time and disk space with Studio Plus version 10’s new intelligent rendering. With intelligent rendering, only the portion of your project that has been altered needs to be rendered. Studio Plus’ background rendering takes full advantage of intelligent rendering. The combination of these two features will sharply reduce and in many cases even eliminate the incremental time needed to render out your final project for CD, DVD or the Web. With most competing applications, the entire project must be rendered in all situations.
