Special Functions
Inlay Quality Menu / Inlay Size
This function lets you change the size and display quality of the video inlays in Avid Liquid.
Important: These options apply only to the inlay display (preview), not to rendering or output to tape.
Click the button to open the selection menu.
High/Low Resolution
When set to Low, the image appears a little flatter or softer but the comb artifacts caused by video inter-
lacing and often visible with the High Quality setting are eliminated.
The Low option reduces the image resolution to quarter size and enables field-doubling. Therefore the
usual flickering display of a still image on a video monitor is suppressed.
The button shown provides direct access to the level of quality.
Both Fields/1st/2nd Field
- This option has no effect on progressive video formats because there are no fields. -
This option lets you select the still display.
A video frame comprises two fields whose lines alternate in an interlaced pattern. This technology per-
mits de facto 50 (PAL) or 60 (NTSC) frames per second, which reduces the flickering of a TV image (it
has no impact on the computer monitor inlay).
A still that has two very different fields (for example, from a scene with a great deal of movement) may
appear blurred or flicker if both fields are displayed.
This option may be inaccessible depending on product and/or hardware setup.
