"While all of the products NewTek demoed at NAB are impressive, the top product has to go to SpeedEDIT, which according to the company is the fastest video editor in the world. While we need to sort out the hype from the truth, the SpeedEDIT tends to lean more to the truth than not. OMG this thing <rocks>!!!"
