different camera recordings can be played back in sync and edited together as a single

Editing
• Program and source monitors: To provide an optimal overview, these two
separate preview monitors are integrated for the source material and movie
arrangement respectively.
• The project folder is used for storing your material. It's useful for selecting the
necessary media for your current project. Use it to store video, audio, titling files,
and even edited versions or sections of films for use later in your projects.
• Picture optimization: This includes color improvement (RGB, saturation),
sharpness (focus, feathering), brightness regulator (brightness, contrast), and the
anti-flicker filter.
• Sound optimization: The equalizer allows you to manipulate the frequency
spectrum, which is useful for reducing peaks, for example. The compressor limits
the signal's dynamics. The StereoFX processor controls the position of the sound
within the stereo panorama. The De-noiser and De-hisser are professional noise
reduction tools for removing noise and hisses.
