Bridging the gap between professional video editing and cutting-edge computational power.

In the modern era of post-production, speed is the ultimate currency. As video formats become more complex and AI technologies evolve at an unprecedented pace, editors can no longer afford to spend hours on repetitive, manual tasks.

BAT Server is not just a plugin; it is a sophisticated, high-performance automation ecosystem designed specifically for the EDIUS professional. It acts as a powerful bridge, connecting your EDIUS project directly to the world of advanced AI, high-speed transcoding, and intelligent audio analysis.

BAT Server (v2) for EDIUS

New EDIUS context-menu entries – via an assistant, no config files

Every function entry in EDIUS’s right-click menu is, at its core, a small .bat0 template file in the BAT Server folder. “Add function...” is the assistant that creates that file for you: you pick which function to add from a neat list, answer a couple of short questions, and BAT Server writes the finished template – the new menu entry is available in the context menu immediately. This lets you extend the context menu with functions that are not pre-installed, or set up the same function under your own name and in your own location.

Trim clips losslessly – no re-encoding, done in seconds

Remove unwanted parts without touching the video codec: ClipCut saves the IN/OUT-marked part of a clip as a separate file – using an FFmpeg stream copy (-c copy). Nothing is re-encoded, so no picture properties are lost and the job runs far faster than any re-encode. The only catch: with GOP-based formats (e.g. H.264) FFmpeg can only cut at the next I-frame – which is exactly what the assistant’s adjustable safety margin in seconds is for.

All the details of a clip – including the projects it is used in

“Which projects am I actually using this clip in – and in which sequences?” ClipInfos answers that question with a right-click: BAT Server assembles an overview page that your default browser opens. It shows all the details EDIUS has recorded for the selected clip – and, most importantly, the list of all projects that use the clip (including bins and timeline sequences, resolution, frame rate, colour space and audio channels). If the media carries GPS metadata (e.g. phone footage), the page also shows a map of the recording location.

Let text be spoken in your voice – voice cloning via Nvidia GPU

Convert2Speech creates spoken-audio files from text – in a cloned voice. The engine is the AI model Chatterbox (Nvidia-GPU accelerated, 23 languages): you supply a short voice sample (WAV) of the desired voice, and BAT Server lets the desired text – from an SRT or VisTitle file, or even from existing spoken audio – be spoken in that voice. Ideal for audiobook passages, podcasts and voice-overs with a consistent timbre.

Clean interlace artifacts – from 50i to smooth progressive, with a right-click

Old interlaced material (DV tapes, DVD, TV recordings) shows annoying comb artifacts in a progressive workflow whenever objects move. The Deinterlace extension converts such a clip to clean progressive video with a right-click, using the FFmpeg engine: when you create the menu entry, the assistant simply asks for your deinterlace method and target format – BAT Server takes care of the rest. The result is filed in the BIN automatically; the original file stays untouched.

Share a video from EDIUS straight to another device – with a single link

Want to show a video right away — to a customer, a colleague, a reviewer — but uploading the file to a file host is in the way? Instant Video Share shares a video clip directly from EDIUS to another device: BAT Server renders a lightweight 720p preview of the clip, and the receiving device (the recipient's phone, tablet or laptop) starts playback as soon as the first frames arrive – while the rest downloads in the background. The video travels directly between the two devices (peer-to-peer) — the server never receives the film. Through the link, both sides can also pin time-stamped comments to the video and jump straight to the respective timecode with a click.

Send a clip straight to your favorite app – player, converter, whatever is installed

OpenWith plugs any installed program into the EDIUS context menu: once set up, the right-click entry launches the chosen application with the selected clip’s file – no detour via Explorer. Handy for, say, auditioning a clip in a specific player, feeding an external analysis tool, or running an external converter on the file.

Custom proxy files, straight in EDIUS

High-resolution material can slow down editing on less powerful machines. ProxyBuilder creates its own reduced proxy files for your video clips with FFmpeg and links them directly to the clip — you decide the format and size, and create proxies on demand, exactly when you need them.
