Just to pass it on if you missed it. It looks like Pinnacle will be announcing Liquid Edition 6.0 at IBC. We know it support some form of HD, but not sure of the features yet.

George,

Thanks for starting this thread. I was just going to start one when I saw yours. :-) Almost missed it though because my search for "Liquid Edition" in the subject didn't pick up your thread.


Also, Peter Jefferson has this comment in a thread on LE 5.5:

Liquid 6 is gonna be pretty big... 6 will most likely have steinberg VST plugin support.. 5.1 dolby digital using VST technology and DTS options thru nuendo plugins (maybe)

I haven't been able to find anything on the 'net. So don't be shy, tell us what you almost know! :-))

I am looking forward to Liquid HD or Liquid 6.0 take your pick. I read that it will support HD and HDV natively. This will make Pinnacle Liquid the first NLE not having to use 3rd party softare. That's very cool! Plus 24fps frame rate timeline. Better mpeg2 encoding for dvd. Looks good.

We should find out tomorrow.

Liquid 6 has been announced. Have a look here:

looks good to me!

Looks like a very nice upgrade. I am a bit surprised that they did not include a way to edit native 24p footage, say from the DVX or XL2. Almost all of Pinnacle's competitors have 24p..ie. FCP, Vegas, Premiere Pro, and Avid. Since HD is 16:9, which suggests cinema, so is 24p frame rate. Maybe they did include and just didn't mention it in the press release.
