New! Envelope brush “paint” tool: Track envelopes such as audio volume and pan, and video composite levels are customized via points over time. The envelope brush tool provides user with the ability to “paint” an envelope curve over time by holding down the shift key. This provides a quick way to “outline” the general shape of the envelope without placing and modifying many distinct points. The “auto-thinning” feature provides a mathematical approximation of the drawn curve with as few points as possible. The resulting points can be further optimized independently.

Individual media will have individual markers. By displaying the individual media markers on the explicit media event and editor can quickly focus on key points of interest with out cluttering the entire timeline workspace.
New! Multi-threaded audio engine: The multi-threaded audio engine is an optimized system that takes advantage of new multi-core and hyper-threading computer systems to fully utilize available hardware resources. By leveraging the full capabilities of the hardware and reducing direct CPU load, users will benefit from a greater number of tracks and audio/video effects for real-time preview, improved performance at lower latencies, and faster audio render times.
