INTUITIVE, FLEXIBLE AND CUSTOMIZABLE INTERFACE
Our award-winning dpsVelocity software includes a wide range of features that increase productivity and enhance the editing interface and workflow. The editing timeline features selectable A/X/B and single-track timeline modes, real-time support for video files with alpha channel, independent variable track scaling, mute and solo of video and audio tracks, multiple timeline support and more. Captured clips and other media are easily organized into one or more tabbed customizable galleries. Media can be played, sorted, searched and managed right within the galleries, while mouse controls, user-definable hotkeys, and an optional jog/shuttle controller let you pick your favorite style of editing.

EASY VISUAL REFERENCE WITH EYECON VIEW™
In addition to flexible picon viewing options on timeline clips, dpsVelocity features EyeCon View. EyeCon View continuously displays the picons and clip timecode of all visible layers based on the current playhead position, providing constant visual reference for all layers on the timeline while scrubbing and aligning clips, and making it easy to precisely align specific frames across layers.

EASY 3 AND 4 POINT EDITING AND TRIMMING
Clips can be trimmed directly on the timeline or with the advanced Trim Window, which provides easy 3 and 4-point edit modes including insert, overlay, slip, slide, and fit-to-fill.

MULTI CAMERA EDITING MADE EASY
dpsVelocity's two-camera editing mode makes editing a sequences using multiple camera angles easy and intuitive. Sequences from two cameras can be “sliced and diced” interactively as you view your sources in real-time, directly from the timeline – no special plug-ins required! Sequences can even be switched while playing at faster than real-time, enabling multi-cam edits to be performed in a fraction of the time of the actual sequence. Multi-camera edits can be refined before applying them back to the timeline with cuts or transitions. Editing a multi-camera shoot has never been easier or faster!

FLEXIBLE CAPTURING WITH PRECISION QUALITY CONTROL
Capturing footage is accurate and flexible, with methods ranging from quick capture to frame-accurate batch capture. Uncompressed and variable compression playback and recording are supported for perfect quality every time, with the flexibility to mix compressed and uncompressed footage in the same timeline. Proc amp controls, color correction, and an integrated waveform monitor and vectorscope display help keep your video levels within spec and allow you to easily fine-tune both incoming and captured video. Batch recapture allows footage to be captured at offline compression rates, and later replaced with higher quality footage for output.

FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE EFFECTS & TRANSITIONS
Hundreds of predefined and customizable transitions and effects are included and fully keyframeable for precision control. Real time effects including variable speed changes, reverse, color correction, “garbage mattes” and keying can be combined simultaneously with transitions and rolling and crawling titles, providing maximum creative flexibility. With the V3DX 3D DVE module, 3D effects such as rotation, perspective and warp can be applied to graphics as well as video, and played back simultaneously with wipes and other effects in real time. If you ever do need to render, DPS Render Bank technology remembers previously rendered segments, eliminating re-rendering.

FLEXIBLE OUTPUT FORMATS & WEB STREAMING
dpsVelocity lets you easily create output directly from the timeline for any popular distribution format — video tape, CD-ROM, DVD or the web. Web formats including RealNetworks® RealVideo® , Microsoft® Windows Media™ and QuickTime™ can be output from the timeline in real time, plus Ligos™ GoMotion™-powered MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 formats for CD-ROM and DVD authoring. In addition to creating on-demand web files, dpsVelocity can also stream to the web live from the timeline. Live video from a camera or deck can be combined in real time with titles, transitions, and previously captured clips, and streamed live for exceptional webcasting flexibility.

ADVANCED AUDIO
Audio is an essential part of any production. dpsVelocity provides real time 8-channel audio mixing and monitoring, with real time parametric EQ for audio sweetening. Tracks can be muted or soloed, and if you need more audio channels, you can automatically mix down additional audio tracks for real time preview. Audio control nodes can be created on-the-fly by using the sliders during playback, and voiceover and analog-style scrub make working with audio easy. For additional effects and filters, DirectShow-compatible audio plug-ins can be applied to clips directly in the timeline.

EASY INTEROPERABILITY
Interoperability features such as EDL import and export, and optional OMF and AAF support make it easy to interchange projects and media files with other editing systems and post production tools for collaborative work. Plus, our uniquely flexible DPS Virtual Tape File System™ (VTFS™) provides seamless and transparent integration and file interchange with graphics, animation, and compositing systems. Each frame of video is simultaneously available in ten popular image file formats, including TGA, BMP, and TIF. Animation sequences can be rendered directly to the VTFS, then easily accessed for playback and editing.
