I sometimes wished they would invest some more tools and features and maybe hike the price up a bit. But one thing that caught my eye was comparing Liquid with Express about features, when the price tag says it all.Ĭome on really now, for the price of AL or LE and what is included, we are all getting one heck of a deal. We know Avid has good relations with Boris, thats a pretty positive thing. So I guess we will have to see what lies ahead for ol' AL8. I feel these among other things are the real hot items to fix in the coming releases. There has been Plenty of talk about the titler within LE/AL (I will reframe from using all the clever nicknames that ol' TD has had over the years) and of course the lack of 24P. So in my eyes what Avid does of the Service Packs on v7 and what is included in AL8 will be the true test of what the intentions are. But as I was told Avid bought out P kinda in the middle of the development of v7 or the next release. I agree the smartsound integration for AL7 was pretty much a joke and IMHO should have worked better before the release. All are now free and do a surprisingly good job.Dont forget the price difference when comparing the two.

I agree it would be nice to have SmartSound and Hollywood FX integrated into Vegas. This is how Adobe Premiere users work with After Effects all the time. Once again I just pretend Studio is the stand-alone version of Hollywood FX Pro. Then I bring it into Studio, add the FX and render back out to Vegas. Vegas makes it real easy to render just the section of the clip you need to add the FX to. I also still use Studio for Hollywood FX Pro. You can buy extra libraries and add them to studio so you loose nothing. Smartsound Sonicfire Pro 6 (free non-timeline version for Mac or Windows) The Smartsound Music plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro CC, CS6, & CS5.x (for Mac or Windows) Just 49. So you already have the cheapest SmartSound solution. So when I need music, I just fire up Studio, drop in the SmartSound for the duration I need and render as a WAV file and bring it into Vegas just like it was Movie Maestro. Sonicfire Pro 6.0.8 includes implementation of the Pinnacle Studio plugin, Final Cut Pro X plugin, the Adobe Premiere Pro & After Effects plugins (updated. I downloaded the demo of Movie Maestro and realized that it was just a stand-alone app and that the version packaged in Studio did the same thing. (Me too) I still use the SmartSound in Studio.
