‘World’s Fastest Video Editor’ ready for newest OS

Las Vegas, Nevada -- NAB -- April 16, 2007 -- NewTek, Inc., manufacturer of industry-leading video and 3D animation products, today announced that SpeedEDIT™, its award-winning nonlinear editing software, is now compatible with Microsoft’s new Windows® Vista™ Operating System. SpeedEDIT owners can download the free update that improves display speeds while editing.

NewTek SpeedEDIT brings a more efficient video editing workflow, independently mixing resolutions aspects and formats within any video project. Multi-definition editing of native clips - from web streams to Hi Definition (HD) – help you transition smoothly into HD production, by editing Standard Definition (SD) and HD clips on the same timeline.

Microsoft’s new operating system offers some advantages to SpeedEDIT users, including faster application loading and the ability to shadow copy daily restore points for system recovery.

• Resolution independence, mixing SD & HD clips in real-time
