Features
- Editing. Audio. DVD. Effects. One application - 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.
- I/O Flexibility - Choose the video and audio connection that suits your footage and equipment: IEEE-1394, composite, component, or S-video video. Avid Liquid Pro hardware adds access to the uncompressed codec for high-quality output as well as MPEG IBP captures at DVD-compliant bit rates for streamlined DVD production. It provides stereo and S/PDIF audio I/O as well as surround sound monitoring via a USB-2 connection.
- Complete HDV Workflow - Avid Liquid Pro features 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. A powerful real-time effects engine provides multiple streams of HDV in real time; video monitoring either on the VGA monitor or downconverted to an SD monitor in real time; and, most important, a smooth workflow for output to SD or back to HDV tape.
- Format flexibility - Avid Liquid Pro 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.
