STUDIO
LIQUID
DVD menus
The DVD menus are located in the Album. You
can either use standard menus and edit them or
load additional menus.
Creating titles
Select a template from the Album and transfer it
to the film window. Then open the Title Editor. In
Avid Liquid, the order is reversed.
Effects
In Avid Liquid, video effects are called Clip FX.
DVD menus
In the Project Window or Browser, select the
Library tab. The menus are located in the DVD
Menus Rack.
When you drag a DVD menu from the Rack to
the Timeline, a special DVD Tra c k is automati-
cally configured.
Double-click a DVD menu on the Timeline to
open the DVD Editor. This is where the DVD’s
menu structure is created, including chapters,
jump markers, animated buttons, etc.
The DVD menus themselves can be edited using
the same tool as in Studio.
Creating titles
Activate a Rack (which is where the finished title
is stored) and select Tools > CG Editor (or press
F2).
The Title Editor is very similar to the one in Stu-
dio.
When you’re finished, select CG Editor File > Save
as new in Liquid. The title clip is now located in
the previously selected Rack.
Effects
All the effects supplied with the product are
stored on the Library tab of the Project Window/
Browser.

Video clips aren’t the only design elements of a film. The following is an overview of the options avail-
able from Avid Liquid; for more detailed information, see the next section.
