Avid Liquid version 7 Features Overview
Why should I choose Avid Liquid software over competitors in its category?
Avid Liquid software offers a host of advantages over similarly priced products. Avid Liquid software offers an integrated environment for editing, surround audio mixing, DVD authoring and thousands of real-time effects. Avid Liquid software also offers flexible I/O options, native HDV editing, support for multiple codecs in the timeline, and a host of other features. Avid Liquid offers an incredible number of key-frameable, real-time SD and HD compositing effects. Liquid uses the power of the CPU and GPU to provide multiple streams of real-time effects including 2D, true 3D, advanced color correction and chroma/luma key.
 1,000's of realtime SD and HD effects
Avid Liquid combines powerful video editing integrated with DVD authoring from the timeline; surround-sound audio processing; and powerful visual effects. Editors only have to learn a single interface to create high-quality video productions with sophisticated effects and audio-and quickly output to tape, disc, or streaming media.
Keyframe control
Avid Liquid offers Bezier keyframe control to simplify the creation of precise layered effects.
Advanced Video Effects
Liquid features the Liquid CX Color Correction with both secondary and selective color correction, Dynamic Slow Motion and a host of other resolution independent high precision, sub-pixel software effects.
Complete HDV workflow
Avid Liquid offers native transfers and frame-accurate editing of 720p and 1080i HDV content. It also includes an MPEG IBP render codec that provides the same 25Mbit workflow editors use with DV media. It features a powerful real-time effects engine that provides multiple streams of HDV in real time; video monitoring either on the VGA monitor or downconverted to an SD monitor in real time using the available breakout box; and, most important, a smooth workflow for output to SD or back to HDV tape.
Format flexibility
Avid Liquid supports the Avid Open Timeline: mix content from a variety of sources without having to transcode between formats. Videographers can edit DV, MPEG I-frame, MPEG IBP, uncompressed SD, Windows Media, DIVX and MPEG-4, as well as HDV, in the same timeline. With such a broad palette of native codecs, editors can spend more time creatively editing instead of re-rendering from format to format.
Smooth DVD production
Using Avid Liquid Pro software and hardware, editors can capture footage to a DVD-compliant MPEG IBP codec. They can add titles and effects and then dive into a full-featured DVD authoring toolset to define the interactivity; create and customize menus and navigation; preview and modify the DVD from the timeline; add a Dolby Digital 5.1 surround mix; and then intelligently render out to a finished DVD.
Integrated DVD Authoring
Create wizard-based DVD/VCD/SVCD with motion menus, motion buttons and automatic links using the same intuitive easy to use interface directly from the Liquid timeline. Over 40 templates are provided to get you started. Furthermore, Liquid’s native MPEG-2 IBP editing eliminates the need for time-consuming renders at the output stage.
Editing for everyone
Avid Liquid software offers a flexible user interface and functions that match any level of editing experience. As users move from other consumer-level or professional-level applications, the transition is smooth and efficient. |
