Strat, Dave,Thanks!! I had a lot of fun with this project and learned some more about Liquid in the process.

Thanks, John!No stock footage was used...These are old 16MM and Super 8MM films, circa 1975-76 when I was at NYU. So, you're seeing New York City à l'époque de ma jeunesse. The young man is me. The old man is me.Oh yeah - and the still photos are all my ancestors - except for Jimmy Cagney, who's shown dancing with my great-aunt Mae, ...

Music video I finished last month: Baby Boomer Bell Curve - Andy Baum Also viewable on You Tube, albeit heavily compressed and with a monaural audio track.

Getting back to Fred's original post, a decidedly old-fashioned way of ensuring multi-cam sync would be to use clapsticks to slate the head. Of course, this only works if the sticks are visible from all camera angles, the location is sufficiently well-lit and the act of slating doesn't interfere with the event.

I hesitate to put this up for two reasons:1. This is a work-in-progress. So, it is not yet a complete piece. But, better to get feedback now rather than later.2. There's so much great stuff posted here, I get intimidated... Anyway,For the past year or so, I've been concentrating more on audio production, having learned Ableton Live and now ...

Some ideas can be found here in the archived Avid Liquid Forum. Also, applying 100% linear timewarp has been discussed.

Bottom line: If you like the deal, go for it. If not, then not. A comparison of MC, Liquid and (speculatively) NextGen is an apples-to-oranges-to-honeydew affair. Liquid is conceived as an all-in-one solution. In that regard, it is a superb package at an unbeatable price. Media Composer is designed as a best-of-class tool ...

Disclaimer: Two kids in college, a day job unrelated to video/graphic arts - in reality I cannot monetarily justify either offer. I have Liquid 7.2 on a system that is running smoothly. That works for me. However... My background is in audio post (1970s/80s). I currently use Ableton Live Suite as a DAW both for audio sweetening of projects ...

David Clarke's preceeding post is exactly in line with what I heard from Charlie Mascari, who is a Segment Marketing Manager for Content Production at Avid. I spoke to Charlie at the ''New Thinking'' event last week. One of his main concerns was that Liquid users who are contemplating an upgrade to MC soft need ...

LewS: It looks like those who attended finally have some appreciation of the market that Avid plays in and a different perspective on what professional editing is all about. Prior to attending I had an hour or two to kill. I stopped by Magno Sound & Video (where I worked 20-30 years ago) to visit my cousin. I was struck by how things have ...
