STUDIO
LIQUID
Film window
In Studio, the film window can appear in three
forms: Storyboard, Timeline and List. Specific
tracks are reserved for certain types of scene.
Edit line and edit mode
You can move this line only by means of the slider
above the film window. With Avid Liquid in
Scrub Mode (the button is not highlighted),
you can use the mouse pointer to move the Play-
line across the Timeline; the mouse pointer then
looks like this: . In Edit Mode ( high-
lighted), you can click on clips.
Timeline
The Timeline is the “foundation” for Sequences
(Avid Liquid’s term for films).
The Timeline comprises any number of horizon-
tal Tra c k s on which the clips are positioned. The
Tra c k s are all the same; there are no specific
“audio Tr a c k s ” or “title Tra c k s”.
To the left of the Timeline is the header area.
Right-click this area to perform a number of cus-
tomizations and disable video and/or mute the
audio.
From top to bottom
In Avid Liquid, higher Tr a c k s have priority over
lower Tra c k s , i.e. a video clip on a Tr a c k overrides
a video clip on the Tr a c k below it. The same does
not apply to audio clips.
Playline
The vertical red line indicates the current edit
position in the Sequence and the current frame in
the Master Viewer.
The Position Bar is located below the Timeline;
the current Timecode is specified to the left and
below the Track Heade r area.
