EditDV was one of the first products providing professional-quality editing of the then new DV format at a relatively affordable cost ($999 including Radius FireWire capture card) and was named "The Best Video Tool of 1998".
[1] Only transitions (such as dissolves or wipes), effects (such as rotating or scaling the video, adjusting the audio level, or adding titles) and filters (such as changing the brightness or color balance) needed to be rendered.
A finished program could either be exported as a QuickTime movie or written back to DV tape using the "print to video" command.
Version 3.0, then renamed CineStream, shifted towards web designers who wanted to add video streaming interactivity to a website.
The new feature called EventStream allowed setting clickable hot spots to link to another location, either to another page with a URL or to another video.
