GPU playback, shader, 4K speed
Zero-copy GPU pipeline
macOS IOSurface and Windows D3D11 interop hand decoded frames straight to the GPU — 4K and 8K playback at roughly 3% CPU.
3-stage async playback
Decode → upload → render run in parallel with GL fence-sync. No stalls between stages, no dropped frames at the cut.
Fused effect shader compiler
A 5-effect stack collapses into a single fragment shader pass. EDITBX keeps stacked looks efficient instead of rebinding a program for every small effect.
Persistent GL binary cache
Compiled GL pipelines persist on disk. App restart means instant playback — zero shader-compile pauses, ever.
GPU compute scopes
Waveform, vectorscope, RGB parade, and 256-bin histogram render on the GPU. Opening Scopes costs zero playback fps.
Smart Render disk cache
Graded frames persist between sessions. Re-open a project and jump back into playback without waiting on the same render work again.
Instant 4K preview
4K source decoded downscaled inside sws_scale — no proxy wait, no transcode queue, no waiting on a render bar.
Decoder pre-warmup
The next clip's decoder is warmed at every cut so the timeline never trips on a clip boundary.
True bidirectional J-K-L
Shuttle from -8× through 8× with audio muted on reverse — the real broadcast feel, not a forward-only shortcut.
Color node graph + audio post
Studio-grade Color Node Graph
Serial and parallel nodes, Layer Mixer, RGB / HueSat / LumVsSat Curves, HSL Qualifier, Power Windows, Tracker, and LUT nodes.
ACES, HDR10 & HLG pipeline
Project-level IDT → working space → ODT. Export H.265 with HDR10 PQ or HLG metadata embedded for true HDR delivery.
Studio-grade audio post
Per-track 4-band parametric EQ, compressor, limiter, reverb, sends, buses, and a real master bus — built in.
AI Voice Isolate
Built-in voice isolation and noise removal. Strip wind, AC hum, and crowd from vows in one click.
Real-time audio scrubbing
Sample-accurate scrubbing across vows, speeches, and music so dialogue timing stays natural while you trim.
Cross-platform GL 3.3 + GLSL
Identical color pipeline on macOS and Windows — same look, same nodes, same export, no “Mac-only” surprise.
Auto-Cut, captions, reframe
AI Auto-Cut to Beat
Drag clips and a song onto the timeline — EDITBX detects beats and lays down a beat-cut sequence in seconds. Reel-ready, wedding-ready.
Speech-to-text captions
Built-in transcription workflow. Drop a clip, get editable burn-in captions — no upload, no API key.
AI Auto-Reframe
Reframe 16:9 to 9:16, 1:1, 4:5, or 2.39:1 cinemascope with subject tracking. One-click vertical delivery.
Optical Flow Speed Remap
Optical-flow slow motion creates intermediate frames where the camera left gaps. Ideal for silky bridal-walk re-times.
Adjustment Layers
Dedicated adjustment-layer track — drop a grade, a look, or a vignette and it cascades over everything below.
Object & planar tracker
Point and planar tracking for masks, callouts, and signage replacement — no external round-trip.
Multicam, AAF, command palette
Live Multicam angle switch
Hit keys 1-9 during playback to cut to camera angles in real time — fully undoable, perfect for wedding ceremony cuts.
Native AAF export
AAF written without a third-party SDK for professional handoff, archive, and finishing workflows.
XML / EDL / OTIO
Round-trip with interchange XML, CMX3600 EDL, and OpenTimelineIO — every interchange a working editor expects.
Visual undo-history scrubber
Scrub through your edit history visually and restore important milestones without guessing through a long undo stack.
Command Palette ⌘P / Ctrl+P
Every action — clip, panel, export, transition — searchable from one fast professional command interface.
Universal Inspector search
Find any property on any clip from one search box — no more digging through nested panels mid-deadline.
Scrubbable values everywhere
Drag-to-scrub every numeric input on Inspector, Color, and Effects panels for fast, tactile precision.
Professional dock headers
Slim 22px panel headers — drag to float, double-click to dock, and keep the workspace responsive during long sessions.
Plugin Marketplace UI
Browse and install OpenFX, VST3, and Audio Unit plugins — third-party power without leaving the app.

A real editor underneath thecinematic interface.
Smooth playback, dependable timelines, live preview, and delivery workflows built for wedding studios and social creators.
Smooth playback
Built for mixed wedding footage, long timelines, proxy switching, background thumbnails, and dependable export paths.
Live preview
Real-time effects, LUT looks, and smooth timeline monitoring for creative edits.
Proxy workflow
Fast edit proxies, responsive scrubbing, cache-aware playback, and reconnect-friendly project handling.
Wedding Export Bundle
From the active sequence: Master 1080p, ProRes archive, Social 9:16, WAV audio, folder layout, and delivery manifest.
Multicam editing
Up to 16 camera angles with angle switching. Sync via waveform, timecode, beat markers, or timeline order — results vary by footage.
Color grading & LUTs
Wheels, curves, scopes, wedding looks, and split before/after compare in the program monitor.
Audio mixer
Track mixing, meters, gain staging, loudness guidance, and practical controls for dialogue and music.
AI assistant
Beat analysis, caption drafts via speech-to-text or SRT, scene-cut hints, and rule-based edit suggestions — assistive, not automatic.
Autosave & crash recovery
Rescue snapshots, recovery prompts, session protection, and long-project reliability built into the core.
Background export
Queue exports while continuing work, track progress, and keep delivery jobs isolated from editing.
Social reels workflow
Vertical reframing, reel sequences, phone-safe exports, and social-first finishing paths.
Pack marketplace
Transitions, looks, titles, overlays, and creative packs organized for real editing sessions.
Built for theedit bay.
Smooth playback, live preview, audio metering, export queues, and wedding delivery polish — the details your clients never see but always feel.
Smooth playback
Proxy workflows, responsive scrubbing, and stable preview even on long wedding timelines.
Split compare
Before/after split view in the program monitor — compare raw source against graded and effects preview.
Live effects
Real-time looks, color presets, transitions, and creative packs on the timeline.
Recovery
Autosave snapshots, crash rescue, safe export queues, and delivery manifest checks.
Production-safe editing from ingestto delivery.
The strongest EDITBX story is stability, smooth preview, clear licensing, wedding delivery, and honest feature status. Every product promise maps back to systems built for real client work.
Playback engine discipline
FFmpeg decode workers, frame ring buffers, proxy switching, cache warmup, and timeline scrubbing are presented as the core of the product, not hidden behind vague speed claims.
Cache-aware editing
Thumbnail, waveform, proxy, and render caches are treated as production systems with limits, recovery paths, and predictable behavior on long sessions.
Export queue reliability
Background exports, delivery manifests, format presets, and failure recovery messaging help editors trust the final handoff.
Honest feature states
Experimental audio, AI, HDR, plugin, or licensing features can be labeled clearly so the website never promises a workflow the desktop app cannot support.
