“Featuring unrivaled realtime video transcoding technology, EDIUS Pro performs conversion between different HD and SD resolutions, aspect ratios and frame rates
Not what you want to hear, but there is one big advantage of Canopus/Edius over FCP and that’s its agile/agnostic timeline.
It cannot be beaten for playing back multiple codecs on one timeline. Other than that, FCP wins 🙂
