1. What is the difference between the Avid Liquid and Avid Liquid Pro products?
   
   The key difference is that the Avid Liquid Pro product comes with a USB2 - based breakout box that provides composite, component, and s-video I/O, along with stereo audio input and surround audio output. In addition, the Avid Liquid Pro product supports capture to uncompressed video and MPEG-2 IBP video.
   
   Avid Liquid software is a software only product that uses the computer's built-in 1394 port to capture from DV or HDV cameras and decks.
   
   
2. Can I exchange projects between the Avid Liquid and Avid Xpress Pro products?
   
   Avid Liquid software does not support total conform with the Avid Xpress Pro and Avid Media Composer families of products. Customers looking for a workflow that includes conform on higher end Avid systems should start with Avid Xpress Pro software.
   
   
3. What formats does Avid Liquid software support?
   
   Avid Liquid 7 software can natively edit the following formats: DV25, HDV, 1:1 (uncompressed SD and HD), MPEG-2 I-frame & IBP, WM9, MPEG-4 and DiVx.
   
   
4. Can I work with film with Avid Liquid software?
   
   Avid Liquid software does not directly support film based workflows. Customers are advised to choose Avid Xpress Pro software for this type of work.
   
   
5. What type of system do I need to run Avid Liquid software?
   
   Key factors in choosing a system for Avid Liquid software include: 1GB system memory, a latest generation graphics card with at least 128MB memory for SD operation and 256MB memory for HD and a USB 2.0 controller for Avid Liquid Pro hardware.
   
   
6. Does Avid Liquid run on the Mac?
   
   No. Avid Liquid software is a PC only product. Mac customers should consider Avid Xpress DV or Avid Xpress Pro software.

• Editing / Audio / DVD / Effects. One application
  
  Avid Liquid software is a powerful SD and HD video editor for the PC that offers integrated DVD authoring, surround sound audio processing, and thousands of amazing realtime effects. Its integrated toolset provides all of the tools needed to create high-quality productions and quickly output to tape, DVD or web streams.
  
  
• 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 down converted 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 codec’s, 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 customise 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.
  
  
• 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.

The CG-350 is an extremely powerful titling program designed especially for the live broadcast and video post production environment. It comes with a very flexible, easy to use, Title Compose program for creating high quality title pages . Once the title pages have been composed, they can be displayed automatically or completely under Manual Control.

A display list can be created ahead of time to make on air usage a simple, one keystroke operation, or you can randomly select the title pages while on air. Even with a display list, you still maintain the flexibility for those last minute changes.

CG-350 can also be used to display standard format graphic images as well as text animation sequences. Text animations sequences are created by the title composer using the text FX features. Title pages, graphic images and text animation sequences can be freely intermixed with one another in any order.

Title pages can contain Text, background colour boxes, geometric shapes, full colour graphic images as logos, and either a background graphic or background video. The text is created using truetype typefaces and can be sized, kerned, rotated, and italicized. Each character can have up to two edges and three shadows. The character's edges and shadows can be colorised with a solid colour, a vertical colour spread, a colour gradient (4pt, 5pt, or linear), or textures.

Media Catalogues
The Media Catalogue is divided into three groups based upon the type of images that the software can display. These are titles, text animations, and graphic images.
These images can be quickly added to the Display List Editor to create a display list.

• The Title Catalogue shows the pages in the current project
  
• The Text Animation Catalogue shows the text animations that have been created and pre-rendered with the Title Composer
  
• The Graphic Image Catalogue shows the graphic images stored in the folders that are included in the Catalogue

Digieffects Damage harnesses the destructive power of lame rabbit ears, bad BNC cables, tree branch-obstructed satellite dishes, poorly tracking VHS machines, scratched DVDs, low fidelity security cameras, micro-datarate cell phones...the list goes on.

Blockade: Video acquired by low fidelity devices like cellular phones and PDAs is becoming more commonplace. Blockade makes your clip look like it is highly compressed and being transmitted through a very bandwidth-limited pipe. Areas of subtle colour subsample aliasing blocks blending with frame stuttering mimic low data rate rate video acquisition devices. Essential for simulating internet based micro cam display or personal video communication.

Artifact: Developed to create digital defects, Artifact simulates lost DCT blocks and frame dropping, most often seen when a digital video file suffers from corruption or a satellite feed is hampered by weather. If you've ever experienced these kinds of defects, you'll instantly recognise them. Make sure you warn clients and your house engineer that it's only an effect.

Interference: If it's television you want, traditionally you'll need some sort of interlaced field scanning to achieve that sense of broadcast video. Interference creates the look of interlaced video fields, even on progressive footage or still images, adding noise, colorisation and offset separately for each field. Interference will make any footage superimposed on CRTs in your scenes instantly more credible.

Skew: This effect was named after a VTR control of the same name and for those of you who know what control that is, be careful about acknowledging it, as you may be dating yourself. The never-ending quest to aim the rabbit ears so that the television show looks as good once you're in your chair as it did when your hands were attached to the antenna is fast fading into the lore of old. That valuable (if under-appreciated) look is preserved in Skew. Uniquely analog/broadcast image badness like noise, image shearing, ghosts... it's all there. The DTV revolution would eliminate these sorts of problems.

Delirium contains over 39 special effects plug-ins. It also contains tools for creating particle-based fire, smoke and bubbles. These particle effects enhanced with built-in turbulence processing to create realistic imagery without resorting to complex 3D programs.

Many of the plug-ins AutoAnimate, meaning that many of the plug-ins will begin to animate as soon as they are applied to an image, meaning you no longer have to tweak parameters to get quick results.

All plug-ins can save, load and modify presets. No need to navigate to find a preset - just click the pop-up! Each plug-in has several presets to get you started quickly.FireWorks creates amazing pyrotechnic displays automatically – it’s an AutoAnimate plug-in. It can create spectacular spherical explosions complete with sparkly trails quickly and easily.

Depth Cue is a set of plug-ins that adds realistic depth effects to 3D layers. Each effect works on a 3D layer and changes based on the location of the layer, lights, and cameras in 3D space.

Included with Buena Depth Cue are 5 plug-in effects including:

• 3D Composite:
  Allows 2D footage with a depth channel, such as you might generate in Maya, 3D Studio Max, or other 3D applications, to interact with After Effects' 3D layers.
  
• Depth:
  Displays the depth of each layer in grayscale for use as a gradient map with other plugins, or with other applications.
  
• Falloff Lighting:
  Lights your layers realistically. Layers farther away from lights are illuminated less than those near lights.
  
• Fog:
  Shrouds your layers in a light haze or a deep, murky mist. Objects farther away from the camera have more fog applied to them than objects close to the camera.
  
• Rack Focus:
  Produces realistic depth of field effects and focus pulls, including simulating boke and anamorphic lens effects.
  
• Camera Mapper:
  Turn 2D stills and footage into 3D scenes right in After Effects. It works by projecting parts of your 2D footage onto 3D solids in a composition, then rendering the composition from different angles.
  
• Flipside:
  Maps one layer onto the back side of another layer. This allows you to flip the front layer over to reveal the back layer. It does this without creating any gap between the 2 layers, and without the occlusion problems that sometimes show up when trying to put 2 layers very close together in a composition

Aurorix
While After Effects users have demonstrated that the program is capable of creating almost anything, they are often limited by the source footage they have. Aurorix provides some interesting texture and pattern generation filters such as Soap Film and Strange Nebulae. Unique distortion filters such as Infinity Warp and Turbulent Flow can use existing footage to make original patterns as well.

Aurorix also comes with some tools for simulating lighting, including the 3D Lighting filter that can also add bump maps for an embossed look.

Editors of broadcast-quality programs require a means to preview and evaluate their video and audio in the best quality possible. Users in a file-based, networked environment often don’t need to ingest baseband video or audio, but still want to preview projects at the same quality level as the final, delivered output. HDSPARK Pro hardware provides the means to do this.

Based on the PCI Express form factor, it comes with a full version of our EDIUS nonlinear editing software as well as an HD/SD-SDI output board that supports full-resolution, real-time preview monitoring. Users of EDIUS 5 may purchase HDSPARK Pro in a standalone version without EDIUS software. HDSPARK Pro also features both AES/EBU digital and unbalanced analog audio outputs (via separate BNC connector and stereo RCA jacks respectively), for high-quality audio monitoring.

The HDSPARK Pro platform is available in two different configurations: one with a complete copy of our EDIUS 5 software, and a standalone version with only the HDSPARK Pro board.

The HDSPARK Pro solution also empowers you with constantly synched, full-resolution preview of effects and content directly from the EDIUS timeline.

EDIUS plus the HDSPARK Pro board can handle any mix of high- and standard-definition (HD and SD) video content; unlimited video, audio, title, and graphics layers; and any combination of real-time effects.

SpeedEDIT™ allows all editing functions to be performed directly on native clips within its unique timeline and storyboard interface. This avoids the time-wasting steps of transcoding or pre-trimming content. SpeedEDIT™ further accelerates your editing process by dynamically linking Storyboard and Timeline, which allows the performance of many common functions in fewer steps. Ripple edits, clip replacement, segment repositioning, 3D video rotation, colour correction, animated titles and Targa sequence playback are just a few of the everyday tasks that SpeedEDIT™ performs faster than any other professional editor.
