Purchase a Canon EOS C100, Get EDIUS Pro 7 Editing Software for Free

From Canon Professional Services:

Canon has announced that purchasers of its EOS C100 Digital Cinema Camera are now eligible to take advantage of a special promotion that offers a free copy of Grass Valley’s EDIUS Pro 7 editing software.

The promotion applies to all purchases of a new Canon EOS C100 (including lens kit) between April 1 and December 31, 2014 (promotion ends August 31st 2014 in North America). Simply claim a free copy of EDIUS Pro 7 by registering via the dedicated Grass Valley EOS C100/EDIUS Pro 7 promotion website, where you will also find details of the eligible countries and applicable dates in order to take advantage this promotion.

Grass Valley’s EDIUS Pro 7 is the only editing software package that currently supports the new Continuous Recording function of the EOS C100. Introduced as part of a free firmware update, Version 1.0.3.1.00, in February 2014, Continuous Recording enables videographers to insert metadata markers to identify crucial moments in their footage without stopping and starting the camera. When ‘Continuous Rec’ is on these ‘IN’ and ‘OUT’ markers are set by pressing the START/STOP button of the EOS C100 and do not interrupt the recording process. Recording can continue without a break until your memory card is full. The markers are then identified in metadata as separate shots which can be individually imported into the EDIUS timeline. If the marked shots are not exactly what is required, the complete original video recording is also available.

Continuous Recording is ideal for applications in which you don’t get a second chance to capture the crucial moment – wedding or wildlife videography, for example. It provides the security of a complete recording, with the convenience of a pre-selected shot list for the edit.

EDIUS Pro 7 is a fully featured professional video editing package that is widely used within the broadcast industry and is a superb finishing tool for broadcast news, news magazine content, studio programmes, documentaries, corporate films and 4K theatrical productions. It’s a fast and extremely versatile editing software that can deal with almost any format – from 24x24 to 4Kx2K – all on the same timeline, even in nested sequences, and all in real time.
