Owners of Liquid Edition can upgrade to Liquid 7 Pro for $699. There are also versions with SDI breakout boxes, referred to as Liquid Chrome HD, ranging in price from $4,995 to $11,995. Out of the Box We tested Avid Liquid 7 Pro on the NLE Systems Kanai Avid Liquid Pro Editing Solution ( Videomaker, March 2006).

From a look at the manual, there is a strong impression of an assumption that you have received formal training on Liquid. It was not out-of-the-box intuitive to make the program work after we first launched it, as compared to most other recent editing applications that have come through our doors. Avid Liquid 7 comes with a somewhat unusual help system, and an 1,122-page PDF manual installs with the system. Brother Printer Resetter Free Download.

We could successfully import pretty much everything we threw at it, except for some QuickTime DV files that we had received for our previous Videomaker Short Video Contest. A status display appears after a successful import run. Note, however, that if you want to import HDV, the help file does warn that some minor additional configuration is required--it's not quite as plug-and-play easy as using a Mini DV camcorder. There are a number of things that Liquid does differently than most other editing systems. For example, what you usually think of as bins are called racks in Liquid. (Oddly enough, even the Avid Xpress family of products calls bins 'bins'.) It's unclear to us exactly what Avid was thinking here--it would seem that preserving continuity between product lines would be a logical goal, if only to keep their Technical Support team with full heads of hair. More importantly than this, though, we found that some habits learned in other editing systems (such as Vegas, and FCP) generally can't be easily ported to Liquid.
