Pinnacle Liquid Edition 5.5
Back to index of
Professional Video Editing Software
The newest entry to the Pinnacle Liquid family combines the
professional experience and esteemed broadcast heritage of the
Pinnacle Liquid editing family with the plug-and-play power and
ease of use of Pinnacle's Edition. See our review
of the Pinnacle Edition 5.
Liquid Edition version 5.5 replaces Pinnacle Edition and
Liquid purple, which will no longer be sold.
Pinnacle Liquid Edition uses the power of both the GPU
(Graphics Processing Unit) and the CPU (Processor) to perform up
to 1000 real-time 2D and 3D effects, chroma & luma keys and
up to 10 real-time streams. It offers pre-emptive rendering as
with Pinnacle Edition,
direct from the time-line DVD authoring with a range of wizards
and templates.
New features:
- Vastly improved primary and secondary colour correction
facilities
- Uses both CPU and GPU
- "Dynamic Time Warp" i.e. dynamic motion control
capability for that speeding up your clip and smoothly
slowing it down again
- The ability to use networked drives for direct playback
and rendering. (Particularly useful to production houses
already invested in Pinnacle's existing Liquid line of
products)
- Background rendering, direct rendering from the timeline
etc as in the Pinnacle
Edition
- Pinnacle Liquid Edition also attaches directly to high
performance Palladium Store systems and integrates with
Vortex networked news systems
What we don't like:
- No output to DLT
- No hardware encoding to MPEG 2
- No realtime previews via Firewire
- No dual display option available on the AGP card
Pinnacle is also offering a Pinnacle Liquid Edition
Productivity Pack, including Commotion Pro, Hollywood FX Pro,
TitleDeko Pro and Impression DVD Pro.
