Original Review of Pinnacle Liquid Edition for Windows:

Generally speaking, the one thing that anger's most software owners is the manual.  User documentation, in many cases, is written by the same people who write the underlying code of the program.  Rarely do these highly intelligent people understand what it is like to really use the product.  That means, while your documentation may be technically accurate, it's organization, context, appearance and overall utility pretty much sucks.  While the 1000 page manual that ships with Liquid Edition is not quite as bad as I just portrayed, I can say its utility is "less than stellar."

Now, for those of us who still like to rummage through the printed page, I am so glad to see a book that is written by a film maker (who by the way) works for Pinnacle and knows this product probably better than he knows himself.

If you are reading this review, you are most likely an (avid) user of Pinnacle Liquid Edition.  <sorry... I couldn't pass up that pun>.  This book is an absolute must.  In fact, this book should replace your official Pinnacle manual because it just makes more sense.

This book is not a tutorial, but Paul Ekert uses graphics and text to communicate almost as if he were snooping over your shoulder and giving you direct instructions on how to accomplish your task.

Kudos to Paul for writing the book.  It needs to be part of your Liquid Library.
