v6.01 leveraged the graphics card for effects processing. Transitions, keyers (chroma/luma), and GPUfx filters ran directly on the GPU, freeing the CPU for other tasks. This made real-time color correction and 2D/3D picture-in-picture effects practical even on modest hardware.

: It let users see effects right away without waiting. Problems With Old Software : Users did not have to change video formats before editing

As software designed primarily for Windows 7, running v6.01 on Windows 10 or 11 can cause user interface scaling bugs or driver conflicts.

Edius 6.01 also introduced and stabilized a robust proxy editing workflow, addressing the hardware limitations of the time. High-definition footage, particularly the highly compressed H.264 files from DSLRs and AVCHD camcorders, was difficult to play smoothly on the workstations available in 2010. Edius 6.01 allowed users to generate lower-resolution proxy files for smooth editing, which would automatically relink to the original high-resolution files for final export.
