Pinnacle Liquid Edition 5.5

[CommanderGoat]

I was wondering if anyone has used this? I went a mini-seminar on Liquid Edition the other night, and I was really impressed by it. They were running it off about a 2Ghz laptop and it was doing real-time 3D effects and the video wasn't dropping frames. They claimed the programming was written so no extra hardware acceleration was needed, other than a decent video card like a GeForce or ATI Radeon. One of the Vendors even had a system set-up that was a 3Ghz with a FX 5700 and the video looked smooth and sharp. It has some really nice features, like really easy color correction(click on a white point or black point and Bam! Finished) and color match, which could match the color from one shot and adjust the next so it matches.

Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone had really used the software and what they thought about it. Goods? Bads?

Never used any of the Liquid products myself, but I've heard good things about them. Creative Cow has 2 forums for Pinnacle's Liquid series of products:

Thanks for the links....on a side note, I've been on Creative Cow before and I hate the way their forums are set up...why can't everyone have a clean looking forum like indietalk?
