SpeedEdit may be a relative new kid on the non-linear editing block, but it’s a streetwise kid who knows that today’s video editors have multiple video formats to deal with.

Photoshop is the tool that unifies Digital Arts readers. Whether you work in graphic design and illustration, VFX, and 3D animation – for print, broadcast, disc, or Web – chances are you spend a significant amount of time using Photoshop.
This workstation from CAD2 is the first we’ve seen to offer nVidia’s brand-new Quadro FX 4600 graphics card, combining it with a single quad-core chip.
