It sounds like it might be a bug.

[Trent Happel] “The legacy Titler remains in 12.0/CC 2018 and is unchanged from the last version (11.x/CC 2017). There have been some updates to the new Motion Graphics in 12.0/CC 2018.”
The old titling system was better. If you want to make them compatible with one another that would be cool but there are some of us who just don’t like the new titling system. It lacks inner and outer strokes. Along with beveled edges, drawing tools gradients the ability to use images etc. I would have preferred Adobe implement better marker capabilities like BMD did with DR (video below). I was also think the CC might drop in price to $34.99 a month. Is Adobe aware of the competition?

I want to get dual ultra-wide monitors myself but I would not have them side by side. I will stack them one above the other. Having said that I think it is all a matter of personal choice really. The thing that always worries me is the amount of back light bleeding.

You are not missing much. On my system the Essential Graphics Panel titles look pixilated compared to the old titling system.

[Mark Suszko] ”
You can’t go back time to do that now, but you CAN play with stacking multiple identical video tracks and adjusting the blending (composite) modes and the opacity of each layer, as you apply color correction independently.”I agree. I use the multiply option a lot but blend might also work. Sometimes I can create gradients with the titling tool that help darken a certain portions of the composition.

[Neil Sadwelkar] “Way back in 2003, while writing for a magazine called ‘Misenscene’, in India, I got a review system of Pinnacle Liquid. This was sold in India by local Pinnacle dealers, as a card with the Liquid software. Where the software would only work with the card installed. Inside any compatible PC.”
It would work without the card. In order for Liquid to have I/O options you did have to buy the Pinnacle Graphics card which was a modified ATI All In One card. It was later replaced by a USB 2.0 breakout box. Much better option. I had forgot about that. Thanks for posting.
[Neil Sadwelkar] “Having used it then while doing demos, I can attest to the fact that it was revolutionary in the way it handled compressed media. “
I am glad you got to use it first hand. Liquid Edition had GPU acceleration and background rendering. Background rendering was awesome when people had to deliver back to tape. Also if you had dual Xeon CPUs you might want to use the CPU effects. If you have one 3.2 GHZ Pentium 4 and a $280.00 graphics card you might want to opt to use more GPU effects. It was really cool the way you could opt to use GPU or CPU effects. Liquid Edition could edit HD when no other systems could. It left Avid, FCP, Premiere Pro and Edius in the dust. I used to use Edius. Edius was touted as the most powerful real-time system until Pinnacles Liquid Edition was released.
[Neil Sadwelkar] “Today, 2017, FCP 7 is waning away, Prem Pro is emerging as its replacement for TV, while FCP X rules in the web video market, while Avid MC still has a stubborn but minuscule and shrinking set of ‘pro’ editors.”
Avid should have pushed Liquid into the studios. Just think of where Liquid would be today if it were still being developed.

I know AVCHD/H.264/MPEG4 is hard to playback but I would like to think the GTX 980 Ti and a six core CPU would be able to play it back at 1/8 resolution. I wish I had the video file to test out on my system.

Tim,
I hope you can appreciate the trip down memory lane.
As I have stated before Avid did have background rendering and GPU acceleration before Apple and Adobe but the credit has to go to Fast Multimedia. I do often wonder where Fast Multimedia/Pinnacle/Avid’s Liquid would be in 2017 had it been developed. It was a cool program.

[Tim Wilson] “[andy patterson] “I am not sure it was the HDV codec.”
It was absolutely not the HDV codec. That article was pulling stuff out of thin air based on what THEY found compelling in Liquid, which is fine, but it never came up internally. Avid’s commitment was to 100% native HDV editing, and they wound up shipping that feature very late as a result.”
I stated I am not sure the HDV code was the reason. Liquid could edit native HDV because it used the GPU and CPU back in 2004. They may have had a proprietary codec but the GPU acceleration and background rendering was more impressive.
