High Definition in Avid Liquid
HD Workflow: Adapting Settings
Before you decide to work with HD, here are a few tips on the workflow in Avid Liquid. There are three
basic stages:
1 Capture (EZ Capture, Logging Tool) -
What do you want to record? What can the player provide (some have different output options)?
Avid Liquid automatically adapts to the input format (DV in).
Avid Liquid Chrome HD : Go to Player Settings > Connections and select the exact same
format that the player provides.
2 Timeline: Sequences -
When creating a new Sequence, adapt the Timeline format to the digitized material with regard to
its frame rate (fps) and resolution (pixels, horizontal x vertical).
If in doubt, select the format that matches most of the existing clips and - very important - a for-
mat that your recorder can also record.
3 Record to Tape / Export to File... -
Edited MPEG2 material on the Timeline is rendered in an intact stream before output.
The recorder’s/camcorder’s recording format and the current Timeline Format must go together.
