How did you create the
Transition used in FOV? The one that looks like handwriting scrolling up the
screen and the shining to the next clip. I have looked at all of the MDE and
ETK libraries trying to find it. Please Help!

edition.exe /skin=c_skin /nomenu |

Changing Default Transition |
| |
|
To change the transition used (defaults to
"Cross Dissolve GPU"), copy the transition of choice to a Rack, select it,
CTRL-Right click on it and select "Set as System Object" then "EDL Default
DVE". This object is then used instead. Note: version 5 does not have this
feature |
| |
Adding Transitions for Many Photos |
| |
|
Method 1 -
Group select clips
on the timeline. Click on the "Add
Dissolve" picon on the toolbar. A cross dissolve will be added to every cut
transition in the sequence according to your options. There is an option
for applying to only a marked range as well of the whole sequence if you need. This function is
really great for still images, as they don't need any pre or post trimming,there
is always enough leeway in a still. |
| |
|
Method 2 - You can use the
'q' and 'w' keys (or whatever shortcut
keys you have assigned to move to previous/next event) to move between the edit points and then use the '\' key to
drop in your dissolve. If it isn't a dissolve you want to do, you can copy the
FX you want use 'qw' and then ctrl-v to paste it to your next edit. |
| |
Activate/Deactivate Tracks for editing |
| |
|
Edits occur only on active tracks in FilmStyle
and Overwrite modes. Tracks that are not active will not be affected by cuts
or moves. You can set a shortcut key
to activate/deactivate all tracks. It is essential in Edition to master
activate/deactivate tracks. |
| |
Use the Set In and Set Out markers on the timeline
to do edits |
| |
|
If you want an edit to fit into the
timeline, either to replace existing clips (overwrite) or to expand the
existing timeline (filmstyle), set an in and out on the timeline and then
set an in on the clip in the Source Viewer (that's a three point edit), make
sure your track for delivery is active and set as the video track, make sure
your playline is where you want the insert, and click |

Applying an effect to several clips at once |
| |
|
1. Segments containing clips have to be contiguous
2. Set an In and Out marker on the timeline to include all the clips
3. Make sure only the tracks that the clips are on are active (they
have to be contiguous tracks).
4. Create a container
5. Add the effect to the container. |
| |
|
|
| |
Locating "gaps" in the timeline |
| |
|
1. Right click on tool bar
2. Choose the "Player" menu
3. Select "Go to next gap" or "Go to previous gap"
4. Take appropriate action if gaps are located |
| |
How to Delete "gaps" in the timeline |
| |
|
Quickest way is to be in filmstyle mode, activate all tracks, right click on
segment slice(s) (top of timeline) and choose set in and out mark, then choose
Delete Between MarkIn/MarkOut.Alternative is to to be in Overwrite
Mode, activate all tracks having clips you want moved, place playline on first
clip after gap, choose
 Select
After Playline, then drag all the clips back to fill the gap.
For those with 6.0, there is a new command - Delete to next Edit. Very
Nice. |

Normalizing Sound |
| |
|
5.5 and 5.62 do not have this effect. With
v6 however there are several vst plugins that can accomplish what you are
talking about. (Preniere has a filter that will normalize sound - meaning
cut out peaks bring volume to a even level). LE 5.5 and LE 6 have the "maximizer"
audio FX, which is, I believe, kind of combination of a normalizer and
dynamic processor. The results you get from it are excellent.
In LE 6 the effect is in >Effect library >Classic Clip FX >Audio. |
| |
Three Point Edit |
| |
|
(to replace an undesired clip or to fill in a gap without
moving other clips)
- Deactivate ALL tracks EXCEPT track that is to be changed
- be in overwrite mode
- set in and out on timeline of clip to be replaced
- place new clip in SOURCE viewer
- mark in OR out spot and send to timeline
|
| |
|

Coping a Keyframe property to another or ALL Keyframes |
| |
|
You can copy a keyframe's specific property setting to another keyframe by
dragging the diamond on the right of the property to any keyframe on the
editor's timeline. By dragging the diamond to the editor's video
window, the keyframe will be applied to ALL keyframes. |
| |
To use a sequence or avi or other media contained in another
project from within your current project |
| |
|
1. Make sure the project containing the segments or media that you want
to place in your current project was recently opened.
2. Have your current project opened
3. Right click on LIB and choose the project containing the media
4. Choose the segment / media you want to use in your current project and
copy it to the clipboard
5. Right click on LIB and choose current project - then paste the clipboard
info in the appropriate rack or timeline. |

Synching Clips |
| |
|
If shooting with a couple of cameras, set a mark on the
camera by:
a loud clap
a flash from a camera flash (I keep one in my bag)
Use Clip Viewer to set marker in clip at point needing
coordination
Set a marker on the timeline at point you want
coordination,
Grab marker in clip and drag and snap to the timeline
marker.

Customize your keyboard and keep the settings even if you reinstall or repair |
| |
|
After starting Edition, choose EXIT and then LOG ON AS ANOTHER
USER. Choose NEW user and give yourself a name. Then edit your
keyboard settings via the control panel and make adjustments - put your
favorite keys in a familiar spot - here are a few suggestions:
Z and X - move to next event left or right
Up and Down arrow - increase or decrease timeline size
Left and Right arrow - move 1 frame on timeline
ALT+Left and Right arrow - more 10 frames on timeline
Shift+Up arrow - Cut
You get the idea - but the key is logging on as yourself before making
any changes. All this is saved automatically but you can also save the user
profile to a 3.5" disk (look under program files/pinnacle/liquid/user name)
and take it with you if you use someone else's system. And the really
beauty is that if you need to reinstall or repair (heaven forbid), since you
are no longer the default user, your specially named profile settings do not
get deleted or replaced. |

Renaming a project |

You want to to rename a project - but with Liquid's file
structure you are not quite sure how to do it. When you want your project to have a different name use "Save a copy",
save it under the name you want,
and then open the copy. |

Effects & Transitions

Watch Avid's Promo - Great for seeing the use of multiple transitions /
effects changing on the beat of the Music - it is the first part of this
stream - goes about 3 minutes.
|
|
|
and
Watch Marcelo Traverso
M's (MTM) "Coffee" Promo -
again - great use of transitions / effects - starts about 29:15 and
goes to 32:00 - about 3 minutes - about 2/3's down the timeline of the
stream - doesn't take long to find.

Type your text

Just a quick way to do it. |
