After waiting over two years since the release of MediaStudio Pro 6.5, Ulead has finally announced MediaStudio 7.0 Pro. MediaStudio Pro 7.0 features real-time video editing with real-time display and output as well as other upgrades.
The new software utilizes simultaneous processing of video rendering. The Ulead press release stated "If complex sections in the project exceed the particular system’s RT performance, MediaStudio Pro 7.0 saves time by flagging these sections, giving the user the option to render those segments only. As a result, the entire project can be played back or exported smoothly, without unnecessarily losing time on a full-project render. MediaStudio Pro 7.0 further reduces wait-time by offering a multi-threaded code base to use dual processors and Intel’s new Hyper-Threading Technology (HT)."
The software includes many new features, including support for display on a second monitor, TV or Firewire device. MediaStudio Pro 7.0 now includes support for Flash and COOL 3D Studio files. Another new feature is real-time multi track audio mixing as well as new effects and the ability to handle 16:9 letterbox format video.
MediaStudio 7.0 Pro should be available in March 2003. The software should carry a street price of $495. Ulead did not indicate the price of an upgrade for existing MediaStudio Pro users but they did say one would be available.
