ZS4 Video Editor is video editing and compositing software which aims to provide media experts with a facility to combine a variety of media types (currently photos, videos and audio files) into one (or more) output file(s).

ZS4 Video Editor can be used like an object oriented photo-manipulation program with a timeline: things that can be manipulated in a photo (workshop) program can be manipulated in ZS4 using parameters which alter over time.

ZS4 Video Editor is worth using when...

• the final output is a combination of more than 2 media sources rendered simultaneously. (like nine talking heads separately filmed, but later arranged in a 3x3 video wall combination)
• every aspect of the compositing process needs to be 'tweened with an adjustable interpolation algorithm, from rotation angles to audio volume and chroma key sensitivity etc...
• it becomes necessary to create custom effects and imaging processes by combining any number of effects using a highly flexible and infinitely variable toolbox of imaging "primitives".
• the user likes to be limited by their own imagination instead of the software-makers ideas of the "desirable".

• choice over clarity.
• uniqueness over "standard".
• chaos over order.
• flexibility over simplicity.
