This tutorial was initially released for Pinnacle Liquid Edition
version 6 and later 6.1. But
in
August 2005, Avid Technology acquired Pinnacle Systems. Liquid
Edition was to soon become Avid Liquid, beginning with Version 7.0.
Both versions, 6.x and 7.0, were used to make this tutorial.
Subtle differences can be seen when you begin with Disk 3 - What's
New In 7.0. But rest assured, all the information portrayed
throughout this tutorial can be applied to both versions 6.0, 6.1
and 7.x.
What's On The Inside...
I don't want to spend
time delineating each of the chapters and sub chapters of this epic
tutorial, suffice it to say, here is a
PDF index for you to download and read.
Some of the biggest
issues new encounter when beginning with Avid Liquid can be overcome
or completely averted, by viewing this video before doing anything!
For instance...
Having an initial
understanding of these things before ever installing that first bit
will save you countless hours in the long run.
Using Mind Meld...
If you are a
stone-cold new comer to Liquid, I strongly recommend watching each
disk before experimenting with Liquid on your own. Then, use
the videos (in conjunction with the Mind Meld Index), for future
reference. Unless you are editing video, day in and day out,
its quite normal to forget some of what you just learned.
That's why its a good idea to frequently go back to the index and
take occasional refresher sessions. I'll give you a good
example... 4 months had passed since I edited my last multi-cam job.
Before I sat down to capture my footage, I spent a little over an
hour, 71 minutes to be exact, refreshing my tired brain cells of all
the subtle nuances of multi-cam editing. That little refresher
saved me hours in the long run.
In Summary...
Wouldn't it be cool if
your friend and next door neighbor was an accomplished videographer
(and oh by the way) just happened to be an expert in Avid Liquid
editor. Well that's what you'll feel like when you sit down at your PC and
engage this tutorial.
It does not matter...
whether you are brand new to video editing, a recent convert from
another software product or a veteran Liquid user, you
are going to learn something from this three DVD ROM set that will
easily justify your investment.
One of the things that
sets this video tutorial apart from all the others is that Paul Mitton, the self proclaimed "King
of Tangents" has a style and wit designed to teach and
entertain at the same time.
Recommendation:
Excellent
tutorial. A must have for any Avid Liquid user.
