I’ve seen the future and it’s LoiLoScope
This piece of Japanese software is in it’s infancy – but this is amazing. I’ve downloaded and played around with the 60 day trial (watermarked) and the way this software uses CUDA is just amazing. Finally an NLE completely built around the GPU. And I really like the design paradigm. It’s fluid, intuitive and extremely fast. This type of software challanges the paradigm. I only wish they would ad a version with pro features that had export functionality like XML, AAF, OMF and so on. Even simple EDL’s (CMX will never go out of style).
And the funny thing about this is that LoiLoScope actually reminded me of the original concepts of Non Linear Editing using computers – the CMX 600. I’ve always thought we screwed up that original concept with the Avid paradigm – after all trying to emulate tape to tape linear editing. The CMX had a pen controlled surface (two CRT’s). Now touch is back big time and LoiLoScope is pretty much built around that.
Looks really cool, will have to try it out. To bad I’m on ATI at the moment. With this and the new Premiere & AE being written for CUDA I will have to go Nvidia soon.
I think it works with ATI Stream as well. Haven’ty tried it. But I don’t think the support for Stream is as well optimized.
