Video Editing
Undo/Redo
In the default configuration, these two functions are available on the Timeline and Master Viewer tool-
bars.
Undo
Cancels the last edit action and returns the software to the state it was in before you performed that
action. Avid Liquid saves the last 64 changes you made in any given module, permitting you to revert to
practically any previous state.
The Undo History summarizes all available Undo steps in a list of edit actions. By clicking on a list entry
you can reinstate the Timeline state prior
to that specific action.
Call the Undo History by
CTRL-SHIFT-clicking the Undo button. Hit ESC to close Undo History. A similar
list of Redo steps can be displayed via
CTRL-SHIFT-Redo.
Undo/Redo History is available in the Source Viewer and the Clip Viewer as well.
Redo
Cancels an Undo and returns the module to the edit state it was in before you used the Undo button.
ABCs of Effects
The simplest effects in Avid Liquid are video Dissolves and Audio Cross Fades. This section provides a
brief description of these Tra n s it i o n s. For more information on video and audio effects, see “Effects in
Avid Liquid: The Basics” on page 511.
Add transitions
On the Library tab in the Project window, Tr an s it i o n s can be found in the Rack Folders named Classic
Tran sit ion F X and Realtime Transition FX, in the Racks Editors, Presets and Audio, respectively. There the
dissolve is stored as Dissolve, and the cross fade as Audio Crossfade.
Drag the Tr a n s i t i o n you want to the clip interface or to the beginning or end of the clip to generate a fade-
in/fade-out.
When a Tr a n s i t i o n or effect is being rendered, a pulsating sigma sign appears on the bottom right-hand
side of the taskbar.
