EDIUS Screen Configuration

This section explains the overall EDIUS screen configuration as well as each window and palette.

Whole Screen Configuration

Various windows are displayed when using EDIUS, and basically you use 7 windows for editing video. You can easily edit video in dual monitor, as each window can be placed without overlapping with each other.

Each window can be resized by dragging its side line or the corner edge. As the windows snap to each other, you can place windows aligned by side line or corner edge. The window layout can also be saved.

When Displaying in Dual Monitor

When Displaying in Single Monitor

When multiple windows are placed in alignment, all the snapped windows can be resized at one time by resizing one of them. Resize operation with [Shift] on the keyboard held down resizes only the selected window. However, this function may be unable depending on the setting of Windows.
