VISUAL QUICKPRO GUIDE PINNACLE LIQUID EDITION 6 FOR WINDOWS [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

Using XSend

One of Liquid Edition's most powerful features is its ability to export a clip from the Timeline or Project Browser to another application outside of Liquid Edition. This clip can then be edited in a compositing program such as Commotion or After Effects or, in the case of audio, you can clean it using any number of audio programs.

You accomplish this using the XSend command, which literally sends to

X , where

X is the application of your choice.

To use XSend

Figure 13.15 ).

Figure 13.15. Right-click a clip, access the XSend To option, and select the target program.






Liquid Edition then exports the clip and loads it into the application you selected (Figure 13.16 ).

Tips

• If the application you want to use isn't listed, click Other. Then add the application by clicking the Add button and browsing to the .exe file of the application you have in mind (Figure 13.17 ).

  Figure 13.17. You can add any suitable application to the XSend list.

  
  

  

• To XSend the whole Timeline, you need to fuse the clip and then XSend that to the application from the Project Browser. See the "Fusing a Sequence" section earlier in this chapter.

• As an alternative to fusing the entire Timeline, you can build a container and XSend that. For details on containers, see Chapter 14.
