Pinnacle Liquid Edition 5.5 at DVinfo.net

Joe Pasarela · September 12th, 2003, 07:43 AM

What they've done is renamed the higher-end Liquid Purple to Liquid Edition, and they're selling it at the current Edition price. They've unbundled the addon apps like Commotion and Impression, and they're selling those as a Productivity Pack. Upgrade price for current Edition owners is $49, and its shipping later this month. Can't wait to try out those superb color correction tools.

Actually they've added the Purple feature set to Edition. The new color correction tool is the most powerful I've seen to date.

The dynamic slow motion controls give Edition a feature that I've always LOVED about Vegas.

The networking capabilites are very cool and a sure sign of things to come.

The Xsens feature is onethat Pinnacle is sure to leverage more and more in the future. For now you can share clips with Commotion Pro, After Effects and Flash. More is coming soon.

Pinnacle has also tweaked the engine a bit and you can now push Edition to 10 layers of video in real-time on a dual hyperthreaded machine!

Anyone who buys Edition 5 today gets a FREE upgrade to Liquid Edition. Those who purchased Edition after a certain date (which i do not yet have) will also qulaify for a FREE upgrade. All other Edition 5 owners can upgrade for $49.95 (I think Edition 4.5 owners qualify for this as well - but I am not sure)

It's not posted yet, which is why I don't have the exact cut off dates.

I wouldn't trust Pinnacle with their upgrade offers, I tried to upgrade my DV500/Premiere to Edition with their $55 Upgrade program and didn't hear squat from them. I filled out their online form, got a form recieved e-mail saying that the upgrade info would come in a second e-mail, and theat e-mail never came.

I've been using the DV500/Premiere since it came out in 2000 and it was nothing but problems until they came out with the V3.0 driver 18months after release. Now it's stable but outdated and Pinnacle will no longer support it. Pinnacle can go and bite their own a**es for all I care. I supported their product and help other get the best out of it, if thats the way they treat customers, offering bogus upgrade deals etc then I'm done with them.
